Without a doubt, sushi is the world’s most delicious artform…I mean food. And, luckily for you, Montreal is known for having some of the best sushi spots around, as seen on this wonderful list.
In case some of you have been living under a rock for the past 500 years, sushi is a Japanese dish consisting of prepared vinegared rice alongside a large variety of added ingredients (mainly seafood and vegetables). Further, the art of sushi tends to come from the way it is presented to the consumer. So, put down your little camera and dig in!
