Jun I

The only restaurant on this list that ranks in Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants, this sophisticated spot is a harmonious hybrid between Japanese and French fare. Combining Japanese finesse, French technique, and high quality ingredients, here you’ll find decadent seafood like uni and local snow crab, paired with seasonal fusion dishes like grilled octopus with kombu, sesame paste, celeriac purée and black radish or duck magret with yuzu-kosho mayonnaise, black olive tapenade, burnt leeks and yuzu-beets granita.

Jun I (Addr: 156 Avenue Laurier O, Montréal, QC, Phone: 514-276-5864 ) is my long time preferred sushiya in Montreal. During my last meal at Jun I (click here for that review), Master Chef Junichi Ikematsu was present at his stronghold and his craft was a benchmark sushi meal by Montreal standards.

Why You Need To Go: Creative sushi, moderately priced omakase at $105, and a range of artful à la carte sushi options are all top choices at this modern Japanese restaurant from chef Junichi Ikematsu. Consistently considered to be one of the best restaurants in the country for both sushi and in general, a Montrealer can’t consider themselves a lover of sushi without having eaten here at least once. Stop by their in-house shop Ôkini for goodies to bring home.

Ivy Lerner-Frank, @ivylernerfrank: “I'm incredibly attached to my Little Italy neighbourhood. We've got a rotation going of San Gennaro, Pumpui/Pichai, Bar St-Denis, Impasto-Gema, Kahera, coffee at Caron, summer sandwiches in the market (Roxy!) and Mon Lapin for special occasions. The opening of Even Coffee in the old Dispatch location has been great; the baristas are really skilled (and kind); their specialty coffee is consistently good.

Nestled in the heart of Montreal, Jun I is a sushi restaurant that offers a truly exceptional dining experience.

Jun I, in Montreal’s Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood, offers an intimate dining experience centred on omakase.

A genuine, high-end sushi restaurant complete with a master chef, Jun i is the place to go for all food Japanese. Best know for it's quality and variety of sushi, the other dishes are just as good. Original creations like red tuna with oyster mushrooms and truffle oil, a risotto featuring avocado and parmesan grace the menu.

Juni** is a sushi bar that doesn’t taste like you’re eating in Montreal, a city notorious for having some of the worst sushi in Canada. Finding the right joint is imperative to truly satisfying a craving, and Juni has it all. Order everything on the Uramaki-Temaki menu, pair with a sake your waiter recommends.

Jun I is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Montreal, if not the best in our opinion. Chef Junichi Ikematsu is not only one of the city’s best chefs, he’s also trained many of the city’s best too. The delicacy of the plates, the freshness of the products and the attention to detail is incomparable.

Chef Junichi Ikematsu is a Montréal restaurant scene veteran. Those who remember Juni from his Soto days will remember his creative take on dishes that comprised of French and Japanese fusion (Chef is classically trained in French cuisine). The menu at Juni is clean, concise and classic.

Ranked 45th among the best restaurants in Canada, Jun I embodies Chef Junichi Ikematsu's passion. This modern Japanese restaurant with French influences offers a sophisticated culinary experience. The decor, featuring natural elements like wood and fur, evokes local nature.

Jun-I is the answer to all the terrible sushi bars that litter Montreal. At this Laurier West establishment, exquisitely fresh fish reigns supreme. The tasteful decor features a lot of pine detailing and wall-length images of pine trees in snow.

Unique, authentic recipes, a wide variety of vegan options and home-grown ingredients: it’s not just ice cream, Icono Glace is a destination in itself to end summer evenings in style. As a lighter option, I highly recommend the Kombucha float.

Though on the pricier side, Jun I is absolutely worth the visit. The blend of textures, flavours, and seasoning carefully created by the restaurant’s chef are simply out of this world.
