Definitely one of those Montreal spots worth discovering.
CHI was such a great experience. The fusion tapas-style concept is really well executed - flavorful dishes made for sharing, beautiful presentations, & a menu that makes you want to keep trying something new.
The decor is stunning: stylish, warm & sophisticated without feeling pretentious. & the cocktails are seriously delicious - creative, well-balanced, & easily one of the highlights of the experience.
What I especially loved was how the atmosphere evolves throughout the evening. It starts off very friendly & welcoming, perfect for enjoying the food & conversation, & later turns into a much more vibrant 5-to-7 / cocktail atmosphere with great energy.
It's a beautiful combination of great food, amazing cocktails, stunning decor & a lively atmosphere. The kind of place where you can come for dinner & easily end up staying to enjoy the night.
Highly recommended.
Une expérience à découvrir absolument à Montréal.
CHI est vraiment une superbe découverte. Le concept de cuisine fusion façon tapas est parfaitement exécuté : des plats faits pour être partagés, beaucoup de saveurs, de belles présentations & surtout une expérience qui donne envie d'essayer plusieurs choses sur le menu.
Le décor est magnifique, élégant & chaleureux sans être prétentieux. Les cocktails sont sérieusement délicieux - créatifs, bien équilibrés & clairement une partie importante de l'expérience.
Ce que j'ai particulièrement aimé, c'est l'évolution de l'ambiance. On commence avec une atmosphère très friendly & conviviale, parfaite pour manger & prendre le temps de découvrir les plats. Puis, plus tard, le resto prend une autre énergie avec une ambiance 5 à 7 / cocktails beaucoup plus vibrante & animée.
Très belle combinaison entre bonne bouffe, cocktails, décor & ambiance. Le genre d'endroit où tu peux venir autant pour souper que pour commencer une excellente soirée à Montréal.
New owner, new menu, new decor, as of 5 weeks ago.
AMAZING ambiance, live music (Thursday, Frdiay, Saturday evenings), owner is super friendly, Asian fusion. Come here when they have live music to experience something really out of the ordinary.
I absolutely love this place! It is polished with beautiful decor inside & on the terrasse, yet still laidback (aka you can dress cute or a bit more laidback). They have so many tapas options (good sizes & healthy choices) for around 10$. They also offer a great selection & specials on beers (5$ ) & cockatils (2 for 1) within a certain time frame. The prices are still super affordable outside of the specials & the service is great! The quality of their food & drinks is hard to beat at these prices for a casual night out (not for a gastronomy dinner) Go!

We came here on Thursday with my wife & the bartender Tony was so friendly even though he was busy since his coworker was out sick. The decor was very relaxing with a lounge feel to it & music was also good. We had the oysters which were fresh & tasty & drinks were fantastic as well. Definitely make a stop here if your in the Plateau area & looking to get drinks & at this cozy spot! Will definitely visit again if we are in the area!
I went with my friends on friday décembre 20. It was a great evening, one we were longing for! It has a great sélection of delicious meals with spécial présentation, that caters to all tastes & sensés! We had a fast service & the waiters were attentive to our orders & préférences. The décor is really nice; the place was pretty crowded & the dj set it on fire with à mixture of arabic english french & latin songs that took us back to wild Lebanese nights! Ill come back soon again! Much recommended :)))
The $1 oysters were honestly the best oysters I've ever had, the quality of oyster & sauce they use included. I also had the vegetarian poke bowl which was good & a nice portion but still average & they originally forgot the shiitake mushrooms so I had to ask for them. There's no other vegetarian option on the menu so if I come back it'll just be for the oysters. The decor was vibey. Kind of feels like you're transported to a restaurant in China or Japan
I just had an awesome birthday dinner at Chi Restaurant ! The service was really great-super friendly & attentive. The food blew me away; everything was so delicious & looked amazing. Plus, the decor was perfect for photos. If you're looking for a fun place to eat, I definitely recommend checking it out! Can't wait to go back!
