Sa-Fran Bistro & Sushi Bar

Love the place, love the service and the food is perfection.
I highly recommend Sa Fran !

This is an amazing place to bring a date or have a casual meal!
The restaurant is composed of two kitchens. One is for French cooked meals and the other for sushi. My girlfriend and I had the sushi and it was delicious (¹⁰⁄₁₀).
The staff is really nice and the quality of service was excellent. The restaurant itself is new (only 1 and a half years old) with very comfortable seating.
I strongly recommend!

Très bon restaurant! Service agréable et attentionné… Les plats sont bons, des saveurs au rendez-​vous. Un petit bémol sur le dessert.

Je suis allé hier le 6 décembre pour mon anniversaire en compagnie de 12 autres personnes.
Nous avons consommé 8 bonne bouteilles de vins et très bien mangé.
Le service et la nourriture délicieuse.
Le 2 étoiles est pour l’attitude du chef car nous avons demandé si il voulait nous offrir des shooters et au lieu de nous les offrir nous les à chargé pour 56 $. Je me fiche qu’il nous les ai chargés mais avec une table qui te rammèné 2000 $ t’es pas pas trop service client. Je peux vous dire que ce resto né resteras pas ouvert longtemps avec l, attitude due chef! ! PFFF Il à oser nous dire: «C, est quoi vous comprennez pas vous autres les QC. Vous voulez que je vous enlève 5.00 $ ?!! C’est quoi cette attitude de merde!!!
Si vous chercher un bon resto pour fêter votre fête allez à l’Ouzeri sur St-​Denis — Isabelle Carrier gérante. Elle elle sait comment fidéliser sa clientèle et elle n’a non plus n’a pas été trop impressionné.

Everything here is done with love and attention to every detail. We tried the wasabi cocktail, onion cream soup, miso soup, and lunch maki rolls. All perfect, creative, great flavors. Salmon with spicy Rice Krispies roll was the best part. Décor and service were outstanding. A gem!

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon to have a glass of wine and wait for our friends to make their way up St-​Denis. It was the best decision we made all day.
We had basil sushi rolls that were truely amazing and seared scallops that were OUT OF THE WORLD. I loved it.
The sushi chef was helpful and charming and the waiter was attentive and knowledgeable.

Wow, what a gem! We stumbled upon this place while looking for a sushi restaurant — we got so much more! I’ve never in my life heard of a restaurant equally serving both French and Japanese (and equally as well, with two distinct and amazing chefs). There was nobody in the restaurant when we went which was off putting, but the décor was modern, chic and the waitress was kind and knowledgeable. It was a perfect date spot.
We got le Table d’Hote with a choice of either cuisine for three courses. The miso soup was excellent if not just standard miso soup. We had French salmon tartare and the seared scallops. The scallops were incredibly tender and the sauce (vanilla grapefruit) was a perfect complement. The salmon was amazing and citrusy and fresh. The appetizers were truly great.
The two of us had the two different sushi main courses, and WOW. What a great spread. Eel, trout, tuna, salmon, crab, shrimp. Beautiful and fresh maki, and the nigiri and sashimi were tender and delicious. We tried whelks for the first time — not something to be scared of — they were tender and well marinated. We shared both mains and shared both appetizers and it was the most wonderful date spot.
All in all, this restaurant was excellent. A massive and diverse 3 course meal for $ 38 was worth every penny! We loved the idea and creativity of this place — TRY IT!

This little gem on St. Denis is a serious winner for brunch.
I was looking for a new Sunday brunch place, as one of my favorite places unfortunately closed down, so I decided to give Sa-​Fran a try. The atmosphere is great, interior décor is very cool, service is excellent and so is food.
My review is 5 stars.

Ce restaurant a la particularité de proposer des plats typiquement français et typiquement asiatique. C’est à dire que l’on peut par exemple manger en entrée un soupe miso et en plat un boeuf bourguignon. C’est un parti pris qui pour ma part me plait et certains menus permettent de combiner justement les cultures.
Je retiendrais surtout le plateau de sushi d’une très bonne qualité avec un poisson frais et avec du goût. Ma femme avait choisi un confit de canard au porto qui était aussi très bien assaisonné et pour finir nos dessert était parfaits: une tarte au pomme exquise et une crème brûlée au thé de compétition nous ont permis de finir sur une très bonne note sucrée ce restaurant.
De plus si vous êtes au bar vous pourrez voir le chef préparer les sushis :)
Je vous le recommande fortement !

The food here is very good and so is the service. We ate lunch AND dinner here December 27^th, because it was so good. The turnip and anise soup was to die for. What a neat combination! French bistro and some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

Went here with my wife on a Thursday evening. The French dishes we had were delicious (soup of the day and the sea bass). The sushi was excellent, extremely fresh and beautifully presented. This is one of the handful of restaurants in Montréal where the sushi is actually made by a Japanese chef, who is very friendly.
The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. We will definitely be back.
