The team from Maneki Comptoir Asiat in Hochelaga has launched Château Maneki, a Japanese snack bar located in the restored pink and blue Châteaubriand creamery off Highway 40.
Friends since high school, Kevin Lee, Michael Chan, Mandy Zeng, and Michael Tran, brought a dream of theirs to life with this nostalgic venue: The menu's got a lot going on, from flambéed oshizushi, jalapeño salmon donburi, and delicious mocktails to delectable tartars and bowls, plus gluten-free options.
To honour the building's past, they offer rotating ice cream flavours like pineapple and vanilla. Currently offering takeout and outdoor dining, Château Maneki plans to open a second-floor dining room by winter. Inspired by the Orange Julep concept, customers can order at the window and eat on the terrace, in the car park, or in their cars.
