Motto

Created by David Malka, the mind behind several of Montreal’s most beloved restaurants, Motto is guided by a simple philosophy: showcasing the purity of the product. Sustainably sourced fish, carefully selected rice, and privately imported nori come together to create an experience that is both authentic and refined.

Under the direction of Chef Daniel Ken, of Japanese and Brazilian heritage, every movement is a choreography of precision. Signature dishes such as bluefin tuna sashimi, truffled salmon tataki, and handrolls served one by one perfectly reflect the restaurant’s dedication to texture, balance, and visual harmony.

In a contemporary space with subtle Tokyo-inspired touches, the experience continues at the Motto Cocktail Bar, where guests can enjoy Japan-inspired creations, carefully curated sakés, and the famous Asahi Super Dry served at zero degrees. An already iconic address where every detail reflects the discipline and beauty of Japanese gastronomy.
