After reading about it in La Presse, I knew I would enjoy Otto Yakitori. The whole grilled skewers thing mixed with an Izakaya very much falls within my sweet spot.
I made reservations for 20h30 on a Friday and we got there to find out table almost ready, a very nice touch. The place was packed.
Being newbies, we ordered a few individual skewers of everything only to find that we would need about 5x the amount to satisfy our big men hunger.
The chicken skewers are indeed quite good but it was mostly the other items on the menu that charmed me. The squid (both fried and cooked), the Kaarage, there was a shrimp roll thing that was delicious, and we had 3 servings of the beef ribs.
Total for 3 men with 2 bottles of Sake and 4 beers was about 200$ + tip, which feels a little steep, but honestly it was worth it and I look forward to going back.
