Reviews describe a classic dim sum spot where carts are not available at all hours and weekend brunch tends to be the busiest, with a wait for a table but dishes that are flavorful, filling, and often shareable, and some items can also be ordered from the menu. The atmosphere is described as traditional and nostalgic, with some calling it a hidden gem and others noting a run down or dated look that could use a refresh. Service ranges from attentive, friendly, and generous with extras like complimentary green tea and dessert to experiences that are slow, rushed, or even problematic, including one noted incident of rude treatment. The food generally receives praise for variety, freshness, and authentic flavors, including dim sum staples and select entrees, though a few visits report uneven quality, some items not being as fresh, or concerns about hygiene and cleanliness. Many diners appreciate good value for money and the ability to enjoy a lively cart service, while others encounter language barriers or menu confusion and differing opinions on the overall experience. Overall the reviews converge on appealing flavors and nostalgic charm with caveats about service consistency and cart availability depending on the visit.View restaurant profile

Overall, reviews describe Chez Chine as high quality and professional, with a menu that blends Chinese characteristic dishes with delicacies from Hong Kong and Macao, and an impressive fish fillet cooked in wine that helps create an enjoyable dining experience. The staff are described as very nice and the food as delicious, with the ambiance enhanced by viewing fish in the water as children watch them. Appreciation for child friendly service is noted. The decor is beautiful and the value for money is excellent, with vegetables cooked to perfection and a courteous, attentive server contributing to strong service. Positive notes tend to reference dinner rather than breakfast, which is described as mediocre and overpriced, with cold and aloof service, undercooked potatoes, watery coffee, and dry flavorless French toast. Some reviews feel the restaurant is undervalued, and the overall flavor profile and fish emphasis stand out.View restaurant profile

Pâtisserie Coco gets strong praise for a huge variety of pastries that are described as fresh and tasty, with both sweet and savory items, from egg tarts and mochi to brioche buns and bubble tea, all in a self serve setup where a tray and tongs make browsing easy and the packing at the till is efficient. The reviews often mention good value and a clean, lively Chinatown Montreal atmosphere, making it a popular go to spot even with crowds on busy days. While many notes are positive about freshness and the range, some guests point out occasional hits or misses, heavy dough on certain buns, and bubble tea that can be too sweet or not customized, plus seating is limited and service can feel chilly during peak times. Overall the place is viewed as a dependable destination for quick, affordable treats and a chance to explore a wide array of Asian inspired pastries, with many customers returning month after month.View restaurant profile

Muffin Plus reviews show a desire for good value, but experiences were hampered by very slow and rude service, with orders taken one item at a time and staff stepping away to handle others; the muffins and drinks arrived after long waits, the food was only okay, and the muffins were notably dry, leading many to say they would not return.View restaurant profile

Overall, reviews of Real Fruit Bubble Tea show drinks made with real fruit and a mix of positive notes on flavor and healthy options such as unsweetened jasmine iced tea and hot or cold versions, but experiences vary. Some orders were not as thick as requested and turned out slushy or too liquid, and a diamond mango drink had smaller pieces of mango than expected. There are consistent praises for the quality of the drinks and their real fruit content, with an update noting that extra staff improved order flow, while understaffing during busy times leads to longer waits; the general impression is a favorable yet imperfect picture of the shop.View restaurant profile

La Crémière serves good ice cream and the overall impression is positive; the vanilla frappé is excellent, the service is good, and it's well located in Complexe Desjardins. With a tip, the price for a small frappé is a bit higher than expected, which is seen as fairly pricey.View restaurant profile
