  • Iwaki is unreal! This is so unrelentingly good. Fresh produce coupled with the knowledge that this classically trained Japanese expat chef wields, inherently produces a palpable yet nuanced vision which invokes an almost minimalist avant-garde fusion whilst maintaining true authenticity; Iwaki thus easily dispels any cliché. This is excellent food done well and with great value. This is just good and inspired food. The Japanese concept of unconditional love and hospitality coupled with wholeheartedly selfless service in honour of a guest is ????? or "Omotenashi" ... we all speak the language of taste and at Iwaki ... delicious means loving compassion. This is obviously an excellent dining experience. This must be one of the least expensive haute gastronomie restos in Montréal! A week prior, I ordered the vegetarian seven course table d'hôte prix fixe "Edo" offering for two people. Chef Edo is part Hanaya Yohei, part Escoffier, part Ferran Adrià, part Jiro Ono but 100% James Bond and Bruce Wayne of the MTL Japanese cuisine scene. Say it out loud: cuisine scene. This is classic Japanese fine dining in New France. Japan is here in my mouth. Advise the chef that you will require a vegetarian menu at least a week in advance. To start, we were served five intricately and delicately arranged amuse-gueules. I went absolutely insane and this was just the first course. Secondly, the salad with freshly hand pulled Soba buckwheat noodles. Fresh noodles are unlike any noodle you'll ever have the pleasure of savouring. Then the mini Okonomiyaki pancake just made me drunk with power and I started to levitate in a beam of light; just floating there above myself with the Earth glistening below me I was able to slow down time wherein I pondered the vastness of existence. The fourth course was even better. Then came a clear translucent broth which seemed like water to my novice eye but in the end was very much not water. It had the taste of some sort of savoury and fortifying elixir; akin to mana if I had to guess. I don't know what happened there but I've never not seen so much flavour. Wherever could all that flavour be hidden? My guess is as good as yours. The penultimate offering consisted of excellent assorted sushi. The rice was perfectly made in the prescribed tradition. Starch, sugar, vinegar and salt in perfect union balanced on a grain of rice. Dessert rounded off a pleasant evening with great fashion and style. Excellent saké was served as well. As much as I can try ... my words cannot do due justice to Chef Edo's mastery. I implore you to take yourself here. Get thee to Jardin Iwaki. Take everybody you know.
