LeDon Donburi — Restaurant in Montreal

Looking for a taste of Japan? Here's one in M-o-n-t-r-e-a-l that's serve some traditional Donburi that would make you feel like if you were in JAPAN! 🇯🇵🍛

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!~ (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)💗💕💗💖💕💖💕

First off, they got a pretty ✨️AwEsOMe✨️ very varieties on their menu for the entrees, the main dishes to the drinks (they also serve alcohol as well!)🍵🍶🍸🍹🍺🧃 and a few desserts !! 🍡🍮🍦

My husband and I as starters we took a takoyaki , a korokke and a karaage and oh my gosh, it was sooooooOOOoo 💕d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s💕 The kaarage was sooo tender and not dry at ALL! I've been to tons of restaurants before and this place serve one of the most tender chickens that would be one of top place to go eat in Montreal for that 💕💖💗💗💖❣️💖❤️❣️💗 what especially hit us in the entrees is the korokke one because it was our first time trying since my husband like curry and nugget ("croquettes de pomme de terrre" if I'm spelling it correctly but might spelt it wrong) really took my partner's heart that he told me that if he could, he would totally get 10 orders more of the korokke one for to go (maybe I'll buy for him next time because my wallet gonna cry for sure 😅🥲)

Secondly, the mocktail that we let the bartender decide for our drink was 🙏 SO tasteful and gives a nice sweet taste that I already forgot what they put in as the ingredients since it was one they make it freely but don't intend to "do it again twice" as quote the bartender because it was the Alex Mocktail - "Master's choice".

My gosh my paragraphe is so long already and I didn't even to talk about the main dishes yet 😅 I have so much to tall about my experience in here !

Alright so thirdly the Donburi, We took one Gyudon with the extra raw egg (the tender beef) and one the Katsudon and it was just ✨️perfect✨️ the way it is! It was low-key the first time my husband tried a Donburi and he told me that "This is what I expect when it comes from a pokebowl." (In most pokebowl restaurant they usually servers with way too many ingredients and he hates to see when the bowl is too many vegetables and I often had to ask in the pokebowl order for him like no veggies except like cucumber pretty much 🥲) I told him we call this a donburi and now he fell in love with donburi and probably gonna ask me in the futur "can we get donburi or/and korokke 🥺" that's for sure! The donburi has simply the perfect amount of meat, rice and only have like two type of vegetables that... surprisingly my partner eats Everything (at this point if he could eat the WHOLE bowl he would probably do that) which I never see him finishing eating the veggies at ALL 🤯 !!

Then here goes the dessert with some matcha genmaicha tea there, we took the flan pudding one and oh wow the person who serves us the pudding was jiggling around our plate to the others customers who were sitting next to us and then do the dessert wiggle infront of us as well ✨️🍮🍮🍮✨️ once we took a bite of the 🍮, it was very sweet and yummy !! I really like the little sesame seed touch, I never thought to put that on mine pudding before! 💛🧡💛🧡

Lastly, gosh I'm writing a whole essay rn, ambiance and service I must say,11/10,120/100 .. it's over 9000 !! the service in here was incredibly heart welcoming, cozy, chill, open minded, friendly even being in a very small place, we stayed for like hours in there till their closing time oops- I don't know even if it was my first time being in this restaurant, I feel like I knew them from a long time, it was like a cool spot to eat and talk openly with others and the staff ! We were talking throughout the rest of the night discussing and laughing so much that it was something I needed after a shift a work. Super friendly, Alex service is top notch 👌 I doubt I'll laugh as much like that in a restaurant/bar place that's one thing for sure ! The place is pretty tidy but yet full of love to the theme choosen (japan/anime vibe)

Overall, fantastic service and food, thanks to the team for the fun time in this lovely night of September 2024 (we come back again...

Authentic Japanese Experience at Ledon donburi

Ledon donburi is hands down one of the best Japanese restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of dining at. From the moment you step in, you are greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance that feels like a slice of Japan in the heart of the city. The decor is elegant and minimalistic, with traditional Japanese elements that set the perfect mood for a memorable meal.

Now, let's talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal! The menu offers a wide variety of authentic Japanese dishes, each prepared with the utmost care and precision. I tried their signature Donburi bowls, and I was blown away by the freshness of the ingredients and the depth of flavors. The rice was perfectly cooked, and the toppings, whether it was the tender beef, fresh sashimi, or the delicate tempura, were all seasoned to perfection.

The attention to detail extends to every aspect of the dining experience, from the beautifully presented dishes to the attentive and knowledgeable staff who are more than happy to explain the menu and make recommendations. The quality of the food and the authenticity of the flavors make it clear that Ledon donburi is a restaurant that takes pride in delivering a true Japanese dining experience.

Whether you're a fan of Japanese cuisine or just looking to try something new, Ledon donburi is a must-visit. The prices are reasonable for the quality, and the portions are generous. It's the perfect spot for a casual lunch, a special dinner, or even a quiet evening out.

I'll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu. Highly...

We were fortunate enough to have stumbled on this restaurant on a busy Saturday night and one of the owners (Eric) graciously found us two seats at the counter. My wife and I had never tried Donburi before and it was a true revelation. The two Donburi dishes we chose had many subtle and unique flavors and textures that all blended together wonderfully. The Karaage chicken appetizer was fantastic too. I'm glad that we were seated by at the counter as one of the team members, Alex, provided us with tons of insightful info on Japanese cuisine in general and Donburi in specific. He also made us try a couple of their incredible (and incredibly hot) homemade hot sauces (I wish I could buy some for home!). Eric also provided us with a deep dive into Japanese whiskies and we tried a couple of them. I feel bad as they had forgotten to add the whiskey to the bill and it was not noticed until after we had already paid. We offered to pay the difference, but Eric warmly insisted on treating us instead. All in all an amazing experience - we highly recommend LeDon. I also suggest requesting a seat at...
