Small dishes are served in the purest tradition of izakayas (Japanese taverns) in a venue that's flooded with light and minimally decorated with birch and green plants. On the menu are just classics: yakitori (mini skewers), sashimi, okonomiyaki (savory pancakes), and dumplings, as well as a tataki that changes daily. The cocktails are as pretty as they are tasty (case in point with the Japanese Eyeball), but the real star here is the list of imported sake.

Hono Izakaya is a Japanese restaurant that serves tapas-style plates next door to its sibling restaurant, Hono Ramen, which specializes in the brothy Japanese noodle dish.

Chez Honō Izakaya, le chef Jean-Christophe Comtois prépare de très beaux petits plats, yakitoris, okonomiyakis, dumplings et autres délices de la cuisine japonaise, le tout dans une atmosphère conviviale et un joli décor. Côté boissons, la maison offre des bons petits jus qui s’accordent avec les plats, ainsi qu’une fabuleuse carte de sakés et de sublimes cocktails. Le mixologue et copropriétaire Julien Vézina a d’ailleurs été nommé Mixologue de l’année aux Lauriers de la gastronomie du Québec en 2023.
