C'est rare que je mets un restaurant dans mes favoris, mais celui-ci ? Selon moi c'est un incontournable !
Un excellent service à chaque fois que j'y vais, une super belle ambiance tranquille & intime, & que dire de la nourriture, c'est un régal à chaque fois. Une explosion de saveurs, des portions parfaites pour partager, & des super belles découvertes à chaque fois que j'y vais
Je m'y permets d'y aller une fois par année à cause de la distance, mais habiter plus proche j'y serais chaque semaine c'est garanti 🙏
Mon seul défaut, ça serait l'impossibilité de prendre une banquette (car réservée aux groupes) même si on est deux, mais le staff s'assure que vous prenez une place qui vous convient
Mon conseil ? Faites un tour, c'est un incontournable
Excellent food & such a lovely place! I absolutely loved the atmosphere , it feels fresh & welcoming. The food was delicious, with great small plates perfect for sharing. We ordered the empanaditas & they were amazing, definitely a must-try. We also had a couple of mocktails, & they were incredible. Everything was full of flavor. I would absolutely come back again!
Cozy place serving chinese/peruvian fusion. Service was a bit slow. The menu was interesting, cocktails were refreshing. I was expecting the picarones to be deep fried like they do in peru but i think they were baked. But other than that we had a great experience. Food was delicious, just wished i enjoyed dessert more
You can't call a Peruvian dish by its name when its not served as such. I get it, they are creative & have their own fusion; BUT…
We ordered a Lomo & the dish & serving was the size for a two year PLUS the fries (which originally & traditionally) it's part of the dish - they charged extra for the fries (they were an extra charge if you wanted them as a side order) WHAT?!
Its not about the price it's about serving what you are calling it.
The rice came on a separate dish. I brought my oriental friends & i was so embarrassed of the portions for what they paid.
My friend's ceviche was probably two table spoons drowned in lemon juice. They thought it was ramen soup so she asked why the soup was cold. I had to explain & show them pictures of how the actual dish is when you prepare it the way it's supposed to be. They were very disappointed.
The Peruvian name is in it but not the food itself. Maybe consider calling it something else. People won't be dissapointed for not getting what they ordered & actually get to enjoy your creation.
Im not the type to get into reviews etc etc but it does upset me cuando te quieren dar gato por liebre.
Sorry que la foto no esta clara. They even give you a table spoon🙈
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Chifa is a fantastic spot in Montreal for a date night or a fun dinner with friends. The skewer combo was a great choice - bold, flavorful, & a nice way to try different meats. The deep-fried chicken was really good too, especially with the sauce. The beef was a little overcooked, but it still tasted great overall.
The absolute highlight of the meal was the corn cake dessert. It's a MUST-ORDER!!!. The warm corn cake with cold vanilla ice cream creates the perfect hot-&-cold contrast in every bite, & it was easily the standout dish of the night. The cocktails were excellent as well.
Prices are on the higher side, averaging about $95 per person after tax before tip, but the quality of the food, drinks, & atmosphere makes it worth it. A very memorable experience overall.
