This just in:

Montréal, 2 mars 2005- Les dirigeants du Restaurant Soto McGill, situé au 500, rue McGill, dans le Vieux- Montréal, ont le regret d'annoncer la fermeture de cet établissement.

Le propriétaire, Monsieur Samer Hassan, déclare que cette décision a été prise pour des raisons personnelles en concertation avec le chef Junichi Ikematsu, aux commandes de la cuisine depuis 1999 et dont le grand talent avait fortement contribué à la renommée de la maison. En effet, Monsieur Hassan se trouvait dans l'impossibilité d'assurer une gestion suivie du restaurant en raison de ses nombreuses activités tant au pays qu'à l'étranger.

Le restaurant Soto McGill, où on allait entreprendre de vastes travaux de rénovation et de décoration, était considéré comme le flambeau de la cuisine japonaise à Montréal.

Ses dirigeants tiennent à remercier leurs nombreux clients qui, par leur fidélité, avaient fortement contribué à son succès.

How sad!

I only went there a few times but I was always impressed by what I ate. Last time was at the Festival Montreal en lumiere last year. Very very nice.

Let's hope the chef will quickly find a new place!

are there other Soto restaurant in Montreal ?

Clickity.

...also Soto main page for contact info... and for the addresses of the take-out locations still open...

their downfall *appears* to have been over-extending themselves with the opening of 4-5 food concessions of various types in the ill-fated Les Ailes de la Mode complex... :sad:

although high-priced, less-than-sublime sushi in montreal has had its day, IMHO.

The unfortunate story of talent from the kitchen & service staff being dragged underwater by the incompetetent & greedy levels of managment. (a little sour milk there)

I had some seriously awful food at Soto, especially anything outside the sushi offerings. And, really, the service wasn't so hot either. :hmmm:

Still, I know this restaurant had a ton of fans.
