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.
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!
Can I please give this restaurant more then 5 stars!? Awesome food, awesome service truly the best of the best! My go to now for Chinese food & I will make sure to tell all my friends, family & customers this is THE PLACE for Chinese food. Anyone that said it was expensive on the reviews know nothing about the price & quality of excellent food & service! For the price this food is beyond excellent it is superior & so is the service & definitely not expensive! BTW their black sesame ice cream on top of a chocolate chip cookie is amazing so is their spare ribs Thank you for giving us a memorable evening at your amazing restaurant
