Phillips Bar — Restaurant in Montreal

Dope new Japanese spot near Square Phillips ! Cute decor, service was exceptional from start to finish and a lot of great options on the menu. Although I love sushi, I really appreciated the variety of mains! In other words, I did not leave hungry lol. We had the following:

Chicken skin (WHOA!)

Mango Salad 🤌🏾❤️‍🔥

Beef Tartare and the Tuna Tartare! Both very good but I love how they did this beef tartare! Different than the classic way.

Spicy Tuna Maki! And I think two other hand rolls! All very fresh! Our table also had the short ribs, baby back ribs, steak and the chicken mains! But truthfully my favorite was the steak and baby back ribs! All were good but those were top tier! Like I said I didn’t leave hungry and everything was delicious. Sizes are also great for the price allowing you to share with the table depending on the size of your table of course!

In addition to all that food I had the Wasabilicious and Spicy Marg. I think the Wasabi one was a bit sweet for me surprisingly, but the classic spicy marg definitely did the trick! Just overall a great first experience. Also the manager, very attentive. She made sure to thoroughly explain how service works, gave us a few great suggestions, recommended a great bottle of sake and checked in with us, every so often throughout the evening. Been a while since I wrote a review with such enthusiasm! I usually add pics to my review but was way too excited. I will...

The food, vibes, and service at Phillips Bar were amazing. We came as a group of four and had such a great time. Cocktails arrived quickly, followed by a steady flow of food. One of the highlights was the crispy chicken skin with truffle mashed potato dip—absolutely delicious. I'd recommend choosing one or two items from each section of the menu. It was so fun having the table filled with different dishes and being able to mix and match flavors. After enjoying all the small plates, it was great to finish with the Teishoku—the hot service. We were lucky enough to try the snow crab on its last day of the season, and if it ever returns to the menu, it’s...

When I discovered that the restaurant featured a fusion of Japanese cuisine crafted by Chef Lawrence Tomlinson, I knew I was in for a treat—and it certainly did not disappoint. The chef's creativity and innovative twists on high-quality ingredients resulted in a vibrant menu bursting with flavor. Each dish left me eager to inquire about the secret ingredient that elevated the flavors to an extraordinary level, yet I couldn't quite pinpoint it. I absolutely adored everything about this place! My only regret was not trying a cocktail, as the ones I saw being served looked simply irresistible. You will not be...
