Yuukai

BYOW Sushi restaurant in Outremont

Yuukai has been one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal since I moved here 6 or 7 years ago. What brought me there initially was the elusive search for a bring your own wine sushi restaurant with good sushi and affordable prices. Restaurants with all of these properties are quite a rare breed in Montreal and Yuukai quickly became one of my go to restaurants. If you know of any others (byow) please comment!

The location on Parc between St Viateur and Bernard is a perfect central Mile End location – underneath the infamous Playhouse and across the street from the Rialto theatre.

Although I’ve probably eaten at Yuukai over 25 times, lately I have been coming with large groups of friends for birthday dinners. It’s worth noting that Yuukai has an excellent private dining room with a huge table seating at least 15 people.
