Hidden Japanese Cocktail Bar in Union Square

 

Yet another hidden bar popped up in Montreal this summer, but this time smack in the center of downtown and boasting a menu of casual Asian fare. Gokudo is located just outside of Union Square, within one or two blocks of Biiru, Habanera, and Escondite – all owned by the same group.

The bar is hidden behind curtains next to what seems like just a fish shack (or Chirashi Counter). The feel once you enter the space beyond the curtains is casual, but sophisticated. The layout offers privacy by separating the space into small and comfortable nooks, perfect for a date or to catch-up with friends over drinks.

Their cocktail menu features drinks with sake, yuzu and other Japanese-inspired ingredients and are beautifully presented.

The best part – you can actually order from their Chirashi Counter Menu – which means mainly Japanese seafood dishes. In my eyes, their menu featuring handrolls, tartares, bowls and tatakis perfectly complement their diverse cocktail menu. Not to mention, everything we tried was fresh and delicious. The handroll with salmon tartare was citrusy and light, while the spicy tuna tartare was definitely not lacking in spice and was my personal favourite.

I am so glad that I came across this hidden spot and can’t wait to return again and again.
