Sota, Korean barbecue restaurant in Guy-Concordia, Montreal, Canada
Sota is a Korean barbecue restaurant in Montreal, Canada, where each table has a built-in grill at its center. Guests choose from a selection of marinated meats and vegetables and cook everything themselves at the table.
Sota was opened to bring traditional Korean grilling to Montreal's food scene. The menu has since incorporated local Quebec ingredients alongside classic Korean preparations.
Sota follows the Korean barbecue tradition where cooking is part of the meal itself, not just a preparation step. Guests grill together at the table, which makes the whole experience feel more social than a typical restaurant visit.
The restaurant is indoors, so it is a good option regardless of Montreal's weather. Booking a table in advance is a good idea, as seats with built-in grills tend to fill up on busy evenings.
Each table has a ventilation system built into the grill that pulls smoke downward and away from diners. This means the air stays clear even when every table in the room is cooking at the same time.
