Poke Cabana — Restaurant in Montreal

Was invited by the restaurant owner to try their food menu after stumbling on them in person elsewhere (for context, I had been eyeing the restaurant closely as I live close by and pass by it regularly). Michael is a very kind and involved individual!

Their food is simply delicious and absolutely fresh! The Limo Poke was especially appetizing! 🤗🧡 I would also recommend their Matcha Slush - it had that perfect kind of sweetness and a lingering flavor that leaves you feeling refreshed.

Thumbs up for the music choices! ALSO, I'm super glad the staff get to wear fun Hawaiian floral shirts - it makes such a difference in presenting a relaxing atmosphere.

If only there were a beach to gaze at from their lovely window view... 🌊🌴

In any case, go there if you're looking for a high quality selection of Poke Bowls! It's also served in lovely wooden bowls to make for an lovely eating experience.

P.S. The place made me inspired to want to visit Hawaii! (it is now on my...

Poke Cabana just opened this month, and I had the chance to check it out with my friend Carla. It’s the sister restaurant to Poke Island (one of my longtime faves), so I had a feeling it would hit the same and it did!

We were greeted by Kisses, the sweetest employee ever and she made our visit feel extra warm.

We weren’t super hungry, but I’m always down for a little snack and a refreshing drink. Here’s what I tried:

The vegan karaage… it was such a pleasant surprise. Crispy outside, soft and melty cauliflower center… it honestly felt indulgent in the best way. I’m a saucy girl so i asked for the volcano sauce on the side.

To drink, I went for the taro slush and loved how refreshing and milky it was. Super satisfying and not too sweet.

Already planning to come back for their limo poke and full bowls… this was just the intro, and I’m intrigued.

I’m glad I finally tried this place, because every time I passed by I thought, “It looks so cute, the food must be good.” Unfortunately, now I know that’s not really the case.

The avocado looked like it had been sitting out for at least an hour, and none of the salads were covered, even though the store was empty. I told myself to give it a chance anyway, but the food really didn’t work for me. It felt very basic, lacked flavor, and didn’t have enough sauce. I almost never waste food, but I honestly couldn’t finish it.

On the positive side, the restaurant itself is beautiful, very cute and well-decorated. But if I come back, it will only be to enjoy the space while bringing my own food. If you want recommendations for better poke, I’d suggest Poke...
