Canada’s 100 Best #85 and Michelin Plate
Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants ranked KITANO SHOKUDO #85 in 2025, and Michelin awarded a Plate in 2026. That pairing gives readers a recognition-led reason to consider it for modern Japanese izakaya cooking.
Chirashi bowl, mazemen and uni carbonara
Chirashi bowl, duck confit mazemen and uni carbonara sit inside a modern Japanese izakaya frame. Local sourcing, a chefs counter and an open kitchen make this a useful choice for diners who want a kitchen-facing meal.
143 Mont-Royal Ave E with sake
143 Mont-Royal Ave E works as the planning point for lunch or dinner. Sake, smart-casual dress, conversational noise and leisurely pacing point to a measured meal, not a hurried one.
