Corporate Events at RYU Sushi Montreal
The way you host says something. When a client dinner or team celebration happens at RYU, it says you have taste, you pay attention, and you chose a room that can hold the weight of the occasion. Both locations in Montreal have hosted corporate events that go far beyond a standard restaurant booking, with custom tasting menus, private import sake, and a culinary team that takes the brief seriously.
Frequently Booked for Corporate Events
RYU accommodates a range of professional occasions. The format adapts to the size and intention of the group.
Team Dinners
A team dinner at RYU lands differently than a standard restaurant outing. The food creates a natural shared buzz. A curated tasting menu means no one is staring at a menu for twenty minutes, and the quality of each course gives the table something worth talking about. It works particularly well for smaller teams where the intimacy of the room adds to the experience.Staff Celebrations
Year-end milestones, promotions, and team wins all land better when the venue matches the moment. RYU Griffintown's full buyout capacity accommodates larger company-wide celebrations. RYU Peel handles the smaller, more ceremonial occasions with its counter-focused setting and quieter energy.Client Dinners & Business Meetings
First impressions are built in the details. A client dinner at RYU communicates care before a word is spoken. The quality of the fish, the precision of the service, the deliberate calm of the room; all of it reflects on whoever made the reservation. The omakase format works especially well here, removing the friction of ordering and letting the conversation stay where it should.Corporate Lunches & Group Meetings
RYU can accommodate daytime corporate bookings for groups requiring a private or semi-private setting. Reach out directly to discuss availability and format options for lunch or afternoon meetings.Find the Right RYU Location for Your Corporate Event
Both locations carry the same culinary foundation. The choice comes down to the tone of the event and the size of the group.
PEEL
Located at 1474 Peel Street, steps from Metro Peel in the Mile Carre Dore. RYU Peel is built around a sushi counter where guests sit close enough to watch each piece being formed. The room is quiet in the best way. Warm wood, considered lighting, and the kind of focused energy that suits a client dinner or senior team gathering where the conversation matters as much as the food. A full restaurant buyout here gives your group the entire space.
Address: 1474 Peel Street, Montreal
Ideal for: Client dinners, senior team events, intimate corporate celebrations
GRIFFINTOWN
On Richmond Street in Griffintown, the room has a more open, contemporary feel. The bar is a presence in itself. The seasonal terrace extends the footprint outdoors. For corporate events that require room for a full company, RYU Griffintown accommodates up to 120 guests at a full buyout, making it the natural choice for larger team dinners, company celebrations, and multi-department gatherings.
Location: Richmond Street, Griffintown, Montreal
Ideal for: Company-wide events, large client receptions, holiday parties
Corporate Dining Experience
The food at RYU is built around sustainable, Ocean Wise-certified seafood and traditional Japanese technique. For corporate events, the menu is designed in close collaboration with the client to fit the group's needs, the pace of the evening, and any dietary requirements.
Chef-Curated Tasting Menu
A multi-course menu designed in close collaboration with RYU's culinary team. You communicate the guest count, any restrictions, and the tone of the event. They handle the composition, from the opening course to the last bite. Each plate is intentional, with flavour progression, texture contrast, and pacing all considered. This is the format for events where the meal is the centerpiece.
Omakase for Corporate Dinners
RYU's omakase runs at $150 per person. It's a structured chef-led progression, each course presenting a different preparation built around the freshest seasonal fish. Nigiri formed at the counter, sashimi in clean, deliberate cuts, composed dishes that show the range of the kitchen. For a corporate dinner where the experience itself needs to be the talking point, omakase delivers something a standard menu cannot. Guests tend to leave with a clear sense that the evening was designed.
Beverage Pairings
RYU carries a private import sake list that is exclusive to both locations and not widely available elsewhere in the city. A sake pairing can be added to any corporate event at $90 per person. The selections are chosen to complement the food, from lighter, more floral sakes that suit delicate nigiri through to richer, earthier options that hold up to composed dishes. The bar at both locations also runs a full cocktail program, designed with the same intentionality as the food.
How Private Events Work at RYU
1. Share the Event Basics
Use the inquiry form to send the essentials: your preferred location, date, time window, guest count, and the nature of the occasion. If you have initial thoughts on format, dietary needs, or whether you're considering omakase or sake pairing, include those as well. The more detail you share at the start, the faster the team can respond with something concrete.
2. We Shape the Menu and Format
The RYU team reviews your brief and comes back with menu options tailored to your group. If you're planning a tasting menu, the culinary team handles the composition based on your notes. If omakase is on the table, they'll walk you through how it works for a corporate group and confirm the per-person pricing.
3. Confirm the Final Details
Once the menu and format are agreed, the team confirms the booking, finalizes the guest count, and notes any remaining dietary or logistical requirements. From there, the evening is in RYU's hands. On the night, attentive service and a culinary team that knows the brief handle the rest.
