our sushi menu

The same chef-driven approach that defines RYU Peel lives here — sustainable sourcing, Ocean Wise certified fish, premium selections from Japan's Toyosu Market — expressed through a menu that suits both a focused dinner for two and a shared table for ten.

  • The foundation. Ora King salmon, bluefin tuna in all its forms, hamachi with jalapeño and ponzu, scallop, and whatever the market is offering at its best. Each piece shaped by hand, served at the right temperature, designed to be eaten with attention.

  • Built for sharing. The White Dragon, the Truffle Salmon Maki, the Rainbow — rolls that reward a table ordering together rather than individually.

  • The Avocado Truffle Tacos. A5 Wagyu in sukiyaki broth. Toro Tartare with truffle and sturgeon caviar. Dishes that work as a first course or as the reason you came.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

  • The bar at Griffintown is worth coming for on its own. Japanese spirits, private import sakés, and signature cocktails — the Kyoto Old Fashioned, the Yuzu Blossom, the Matcha Mojito — built around the same philosophy as the kitchen. Considered, balanced, specific.

Late Night at RYU

Thursday and Friday evenings at Griffintown shift naturally from dinner into something more social as the neighbourhood comes alive. The late-night menu is available after 8:30 PM — fresh sushi, small plates, and the full cocktail program running until close. For anyone looking for late night dining in Montréal that does not compromise on quality, Griffintown is the answer.
