| - Probably one of the best meals I have eaten in Montreal. Usually I don't eat high end sushi because I don't feel like there would be that much of a difference, but Park Restaurant just blew my mind.
First off, the restaurant is smaller than expected, really cosy but also gives a fancy and luxurious vibe. The waitress is super welcoming and friendly. They answered all my questions patiently and presented each piece of sashimi and nigiri with detail which really helps since I am not a pro in sushi (some sashimi really look alike, don't they?).
Since I wanted to try a little bit of everything, I ordered the moriawase sashimi, the moriawase nigiri and the chef's maki.
- moriawase sashimi: It blew my mind because of how fresh it was. Each type of fish has its own texture and flavour (I never noticed that before when I ate sashimi in sushi buffet). Even the salmon one tasted different. I love love love the white tuna, it melts in your mouth. The three sauce they offer you are great as well. My favourite is the basil one.
- moriawase nigiri: The presentation is so on point. All the nigiri tasted different since all of them has their individual complementary sauce and topping. You don't need to dip it in anything since I was told that the rice was already seasoned, which is great because when I try to dip nigiri in soy sauce it often becomes super messy and soaked...
- chef's maki: super expensive, it comes to 5$ per piece of maki, but it is definitely a new maki experience that I have never had before. The maki we had had tempura inside and was topped with shrimp. The maki were huge, couldn't put a whole one into my mouth. The shrimp on top alone was super tasty, the shrimp was juicy and flavourful, but at the same time you could still taste the natural flavour of the shrimp. The sauce is really tasty but it does not cover the natural flavour of the ingredients.
It was a pretty expensive meal, but I think it was worth every penny. I'll come back for sure but I'll probably come at lunch or brunch since the prices are more affordable.
