The restaurant-bar Sushi X comes to life within the Pyramide Ste-Foy and offers a menu composed of Japanese-inspired dishes. Conceived as a festive restaurant where it is good to extend one's meals with friends, the project is meant to be an attractive place day and night.
The patio, dressed with giant murals, acts as a visual signal from the parking lot. At the entrance, two distinct counters direct the clientele: one for take-out and the other inviting people to enter the dining room, the party room. Designed to create surprise, the customer pathway produces an effect of discovery by revealing an immersive atmosphere with spectacular allure.
The bar, inspired by the Isakaya breweries, becomes the central piece around which the space is organized. A series of architectural elements inspired by the Japanese culinary world become signature pieces: the wall coverings and the wood strip overhangs recall the texture of sushi mats, and the corrugated metal canopy recalls the famous Japanese knives. At the back, the backlit wall produces a soft, diffused light, imitating the effect of rice paper. On the ceiling, the abundance of paper lanterns and the falling vegetation bring warmth and friendliness to the spaces.
To make people want to try all the places, a mix of seating is proposed: banquette areas for groups, intimate tables, or at the bar, right in the action. The kitchen is open to the dining room and is reflected in the mirrors on the wall facing it, so that everyone can enjoy it.
Whether it's for a nice lunch or a final drink in a long-lasting happy hour, Sushi X celebrates festivities and hospitality.
