About

The pair previously ran Schlouppe Bistrot Nakamichi downtown before relocating to the Mile End, where they have built a loyal following for their meticulously developed broths, hand-selected noodles, and premium toppings. Tastet features the restaurant on its best ramen list, and a string of enthusiastic reviews underline the authenticity of the Japanese approach. The charming neighbourhood atmosphere makes it a neighbourhood institution on Saint-Laurent Boulevard.
