Traditionally, Chifa is a fusion restaurant resulting of the Chinese immigrants living in Peru & characterized by the small minimalist style & the huge portions served. Now part of the peruvien traditional food.
This concept has been brought to Montreal & that's make the difference between the other many Peruvian restaurants in town.
Style & decorations are mimic of a traditional peruvien chifa restaurant but fancier.
Food os not served in huge portions neither but, as peruvien myself, I was surprised by the taste, flavours & quality of dishes. We ordered like 4 different items from the menu & none of them was disappointed, on the contrary, we were very pleased & happy of this discovery. So price is justified.
Take a time to observe the kitchen & the chefs working on it through the big glass behind it, is a must see experience.
They have Inca Kola, a must with chifa food.
They have some other diches in the menu not typical of a chifa restaurant but nevertheless are very welcome, like the lucuma ice cream & pisco sour.
Service is there, good & friendly enough to feel treated. They have a terrace outside also to enjoy the summer season.
*review updated after 2 years & still the same. Keep the high standards!

I'm peruvian & the pollo chi jau Kai tasted just like in Peru. Music was spot on & service was polite & consistent. We had a great time.
Camila
Good take on Peruvian food! We loved the ice cream & the lomo.
Helene
Un savoureux mélange de cuisines chinoise & péruvienne. Quelle belle découverte!

I was looking forward to trying some peruvian chinese food, which I've never had before. The dish I would come back for is the Lomo Saltado. The beef was tender, well seasoned & the tomatoes were a great burst of flavour. The other dishes were also fine, just not as memorable as I was hoping it would be.
It is a littler on the pricier side & reservations are recommended. We walked in with a party of 4 & got seated at the bar which was pretty fun because you could see the different dishes they prepared.

Nous étions quatre amis, le barman Richard nous a expliqué les cocktails, la serveuse nous a offert de choisir les plats pour nous & tout était bons, goûteux & différents, nous n'avons même pas choisi le vin & ce fut une belle découverte. Très bel endroit à inscrire dans la liste de nos resto préférés.
Jessica
Amazing food. Tapas style, so you can try lots of different flavours. Best meal we ate in Montreal.
Genie
nourriture & saveurs excellentes! Portion un peu petite pour le prix… Lomo saltado, empandas & pastel de choclo débile!! Suggestion: ajouter un pain pour manger avec les sauces 🤤
Margo
Excellent dishes, loved the Saldado & chow mein. Very friendly service.
Assem
Portion petite. Pas ou peu d'accompagnement au plats.
Rien d'exceptionnel honnêtement.
Virginie

Superbe resto. Ambiance chaleureuse. Les cocktails sont excellents & la nourriture est fantastique. Ma copine & moi avons vraiment apprécié notre expérience. Nous avons adoré les crevettes & le homard.
Eric
Excellent. Super service. Les mets sont une fusion chinoise/ péruvienne succulente.

We really enjoyed sharing different plates with our teenage daughters.
The food is a really interesting mix of traditional Peruvian & Asian influences. The seafood was the perfect texture & perfectly fresh, the sauces were delicious, & the mocktail was gorgeous (I want to come back for a cocktail when I'm not driving!).
If you are adverse to spicy flavors, definitely ask for recommendations, but my teenagers were fine with most of the spice, just the octopus sauce was too much for them (my husband & I were thrilled to eat the part they couldn't finish! 😅).
The staff was super friendly & professional! I only took off one star for atmosphere because we found the music too loud to be able to talk to each other much, so be forewarned, although many places in Montreal are louder.
We're excited to go back again! ❤?

Seems like a pretty interesting place. Getting a bar seat is nice as you can see them preparing everything.
The service was also really nice as well & seemed quite fast. Though the place seems pretty popular & is a quite packed.
The food was pretty interesting too. Some of the stuff was really good. I especially liked the French fries with the sesame aoli. The beef was so really good, as the flavour mixed with the tomatoes really came out.
Overall pretty solid.

Genuinely incredible find. I had the Purple Dragon cocktail (9.5/10), the chicken & pineapple sauce dish (9/10), & the corn cake dessert (100000000/10). Some of the best food I've ever had, & for dirt cheap. Can't recommend anything better. Staff was incredibly nice & the seat from the bar was fun & atmospheric. The bartender with arm tattoos & the waitress were both kind & personable, & made some incredible recommendations. The waitress made a recommendation for a drink that ended up not being to my friends taste, & she was quick to offer a replacement on the house. Please stop by if you're in the area.
