31 Latitude is described as a stylish, welcoming Chinese restaurant that feels refined rather than a diner, with a classy ambience and attentive, often owner-led service. The cuisine is praised for a thoughtfully curated menu that is smaller in scope yet exciting, with dishes ranging from seafood and vegetarian options to meat dishes that are flavorful and well prepared from appetizers to main courses. The overall impression centers on high quality and consistency of the food, along with outstanding service and a refined atmosphere that makes for a memorable evening. Highlights such as peanut butter dumplings and garlic spareribs are frequently cited, and the experience is often described as simply amazing or superb in Montréal. Some reviews note a higher price point and occasional dessert or ambience comments, but the consensus remains that 31 Latitude delivers good food, friendly staff, and a welcoming setting.
Un excellent restaurant pour savourer une cuisine chinoise fusion à Montréal. En tant que Chinois, je suis très heureux de trouver ici des plats aussi délicieux & authentiques. C'était déjà ma deuxième visite, & l'expérience est toujours parfaite. Le service est remarquable, avec un personnel attentionné qui prend le temps de bien expliquer les plats. L'ambiance du restaurant est élégante & soignée, ce qui ajoute au plaisir du repas. Mention spéciale pour leur « boeuf à l'orange »: croustillant à l'extérieur, tendre & juteux à l'intérieur, accompagné d'une sauce acidulée à l'orange qui ouvre l'appétit - c'est rare de goûter cette recette si bien réalisée ! Mon ami & moi avons adoré, & nous reviendrons sans hésiter.
You MUST eat here!! The food is amazing!! Best Chinese in Montreal. We wanted to try so many dishes. Won ton soup, hot & sour soup, spare ribs (the BEST), noodles, general tao's, green beans, & shrimp with lobster sauce. Everything was super fresh & delicious. We can't wait to go back! The owner Joe is so nice & accommodating, plus he's been in the business for over 30 years.

Cozy & intimate is the first impression when my family & I walked into the restaurant. The place is lit with old style light bulbs that give off a yellowish light that gives a soft, gentle & welcoming glow to the charming surroundings. The serving staff is polite & well trained to get you to your seat with out disturbing the peaceful vibe. The menu is compact with a comprehensible selection of tastefully presented dishes. We had the dumplings in peanut sauce, shrimp toast, spring rolls, General Zhou's chicken, & the crispy & tasty orange beef. All of these were well prepared, & flavorful, a feast for the senses. The sauce for the dumplings echos back to the sauce for cold peanut noodles with just the right amount of sweetness & acidity. The shrimp toast was AMAZING with the delicate contrast between the taste & texture of the shrimp & the crispiness of the toast. The General Zhou's Chicken was crispy, not overly sweet, & with the right amount of sauce. Then, there is the Crispy Orange Beef, which is rightly, a signature dish. It is served hot, crispy & with a wonderful layering of flavors. A must have. All of this was so good we also ordered the Spare Ribs. These were exceptional! Beautifully presented with a wonderful sauce that had a subtle mix of flavors--ginger, garlic & five spice were what I suspect I tasted. Just a wonderful experience all the way around!
Hands down the best Chinese food I have had in a long time. Started with dumplings in peanut butter sauce. Melt in your mouth, homemade! Chicken & crispy spinach, scallops in black bean sauce & Singapore rice noodles absolutely fabulous. Could have licked the plate clean. A must if in Montreal. 🤤🇨🇦
Had an amazing meal. The dumplings is peanut sauce was delicate, the chicken with crispy spinach top notch. The scallops in black bean sauce were perfectly cooked & the Singapore noodles were nice & spicy. Service was great & the decor is tastefully done. I would definitely go back to try more dishes.
Après plusieurs tentatives infructueuses, nous avons enfin retrouvé les saveurs du restaurant l'Orchidée de Chine qui se trouvait sur Peel & fermé depuis quelques années. Nos plats favoris (Les dumplings à la sauce au beurre d'arachides, les crevettes sautées style széchuannaise, le poisson sauce citronnée, le poulet avec épinards croustillants, sans oublier le gâteau à la crème glacée au moka) sont tout aussi délicieux que dans le bon vieux temps... Amateurs de cuisine széchuannaise, ne manquer pas ça.
This is not only the best Chinese restaurant in Montreal, but a fantastic restaurant overall. The food is spectacular -- for appetizers, make sure to have the spare ribs & shrimp toast, & for main courses have the Sautéed chicken with crispy spinach, the Yu Xiang pork, the Shanghai noodles, the five-salt calamari, & the eggplant in garlic sauce. The service is friendly & attentive. & there's even a good wine list. Honestly, it's a tremendous experience.
