Rubis Rouge - Red Ruby Rouge

Open until 9 pm

(168)

Chinatown

Chinese Szechuan Breakfast

Review Summary

Rubis Rouge - Red Ruby Rouge draws mixed reactions from diners in Montreal, ranging from authentic Cantonese dim sum with cart service and generous portions to complaints about inconsistent taste, with some items like dumplings praised while others such as fried calamari are cold or bland. Several reviews note a pleasant, spacious, family friendly atmosphere and values that are as affordable as they seem, while service quality varies from warm and efficient to slow or gruff, sometimes adding charm but at times causing frustration. Menu information and billing can be confusing for non-French speakers, and one experience mentioned a mischarged order with shellfish and a push to tip, prompting caution about paying cash versus card. Yet many diners still call it one of the best budget friendly spots for dim sum in Chinatown, with nostalgia for the traditional cart service and frequent praise for specific dishes like sesame balls, chicken with garlic bok choy, and other favorites, and several long time visitors say the quality remains solid over the years. Overall, it feels like a classic, sometimes inconsistent but generally hearty option for authentic Chinese dim sum and Cantonese style dishes, best experienced with flexible expectations about service and menu details.View restaurant profile

Chinatown Downtown

Chinese Asian Breakfast

Review Summary

Chez Chine receives mixed reviews, with breakfast earning criticism for being mediocre and overpriced, along with cold and aloof staff, undercooked potatoes, watery coffee, and dry, flavorless French toast, while dinner is described more positively with good tasting dishes and a pleasant atmosphere. Guests praise the child friendly service in a beautiful setting, excellent value, and vegetables cooked to perfection, with some saying they would like to replicate the preparation at home. Additional notes highlight courteous, professional servers and the overall taste of the dishes being very good. The ambiance, enhanced by fish visible in the water and children watching, adds to the appeal, and several reviewers feel the restaurant is undervalued. In short, dinner service shows the stronger side of the experience, decor and aquatic displays contribute positively, while breakfast experiences detract from the overall impression.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Many reviewers praise Fuwa Fuwa for fluffy, light soufflé pancakes with a wide range of flavors, from tiramisu and matcha to blueberry cheese and savory options, with textures described as airy and fillings generous. The atmosphere is seen as cozy and stylish, with friendly, attentive staff and a welcoming vibe, though everything is made to order and can require a wait.

The place is viewed as a solid dessert spot for sharing or studying, thanks to its pleasant ambiance and reliable service, and many say it is worth trying multiple flavors despite the wait and cost. Overall, Fuwa Fuwa stands out in Chinatown for its signature fluffy pancakes and croffles, offering a fun, Instagrammable experience with a crowd-pleasing menu, even if patience and budgeting are part of the experience.View restaurant profile
