Kinoya Bistro in Saint-Laurent brings serious Japanese technique to its neighbourhood. The room is airy and modern, a clean backdrop for a menu that takes traditional preparation seriously without getting precious about it. The kitchen leans on quality ingredients and careful sourcing: kaisen don bowls arrive loaded with salmon, tuna, scallop, and cuttlefish over rice with sesame soy, while the tuna tartare pairs honey soy-wasabi with a crisp shiso tempura. Heartier options like the cream udon with jumbo prawns and garlic butter or the BBQ eel over rice round out a tight, well-considered menu.
