La chifa est, pour le chef Larrea, une façon de partager ses souvenirs d’enfance à travers sa propre interprétation de la cuisine sino-péruvienne, proposée au sein de ce restaurant chifa Montréal. Originaire du Pérou, la chifa - pilier de ce restaurant chinois péruvien Montréal - est issue de la rencontre entre les techniques de la cuisine chinoise et les ingrédients traditionnels péruviens. Cette identité culinaire unique s’exprime dans un restaurant fusion Montréal mettant à l’honneur la cuisine nikkei et chifa Montréal, dans une atmosphère familiale, détendue et chaleureuse, idéale pour les repas en famille, les enfants et les moments de 5 à 7, à proximité du Centre Bell, de la Place des Arts, des festivals et du Palais des congrès.
Nos Spécialités
Ceviche, anticucho, causa, chicharron, lomo saltado, frites de yuca, canard pékin, riz frit & cocktails au Pisco.

The food was very disappointing. I ordered the Chaufa Rice & it simply was not good. The chicken was fried to the point it was supper dry & the rice had that off-putting raw egg flavor. Given the long tradition of Peruvian Chinese food this was really disappointing. The service was also very poor, the type of service where they make you feel they are doing you a favor. If you are eating solo they will not even give you a table inside, you need to eat at the bar. The restaurant looks really nice inside.
The food was amazing! Best Peruvian restaurant I've been to yet. It's a small place & is often busy so if you can make a reservation before going so you won't have to wait in line. The atmosphere makes it perfect for a night out with friends or for a date night. The service was excellent everyone was super nice & friendly.

A must try- highly recommended spot for great quality tapas of Chinese-Peruvian fusion food. Amazing service, the staff was very friendly! Thank you to the manager, for the special attention! The drinks were great, but the maracuya sour was perfect! Best quality all around! Thank you for a great experience! Definitely coming back soon! 👌🏼
Walked by this vibing Peruvian fusion resto & thought I should give it a taste. I started off with the : -Chicha morada cocktail: Purple corn syrup, lime juice, soda. Punchy tartness that's pretty to look at. A touch of soda so it's not overwhelmingly fizzy. A good upgrade on a fizzy lemonade -Sui Mai : doused in a soy chili sauce with green onions this salty pleasure did not disappoint. I halved the sui mai to sop up the delicious salty sauce & buried those flavorful wonders in my mouth. Full of shrimp & pork- they were flavorful even without that salty soy goodness. -Fritti calamari: oh man. I don't even know what to say. So light yet crunchy & moist. Cooked to perfection. Didn't even need the sesame tahini garlic tasting sauce- although that sauce. I would have slathered that all over a shawarma..... if I was eating a shawarma. I ended up eating both items individually as they were sooo good. Also good together but I felt that eating the calamari separately from the sauce I could really enjoy the individual flavors & savour all it had to offer. But as hubby says to me all the time "you gotta eat it when it's hot". It looses a bit of its crunchy texture as it cools down. - Wonton soup: was an order put through because I was feeling a bit under the weather. Pretty bland to be frank, even when I added the remnants of my sui mai soy sauce. The two wontons were a bit too big with the the filling minimal compared to the noodle wrapping. Would not order this one again. Overall I'd come back to try some of the peruvian dishes
Interesting mix of Peruvian/Chinese food. The food was fine, but if you compare it to Chinese food that some of the dishes are trying to emulate, it falls flat. The flavours felt unbalanced & some meat dishes were on the dryer side. Otherwise, as fun hybrid dishes that are experimenting, the food is just okay. The staff was very friendly, service was good, & the ambiance & decor inside was nice.
dined in with the kids. adventurous eating for ours. (no chicken tenders on the menu.) tapas style, Cantonese + Peruvian. loved the scallops & pineapple chicken. also had shrimp, steamed fish, skewers, shu mai, & ceviche. everything tasty!
A fusion of oriental & Peruvian flavours with top quality ingredients, the best " Chinese" food in Montreal. Fantastic service with dedicated professional staff too

The food was great but I'm still starving. $97 later & I had two appetizers & two drinks. Waiter was very nice but he described it as "portions meant to be shared" when its barely half a plate. To be fair, I should've done my research on what kind of restaurant it was going to be but the peruvian/Asian mix sounded too interesting. Sucks cause I really liked it but when the portions are so small for so expensive, it better to go for drinks with something on the side rather than going for a restaurant.
Always a grand time at Chifa. Wonderful team of chefs & waiters. Their original takes on Chinese-Peruvian food are unlike anything else served in town. Unusual ,tasty & fun. The setting is beautiful & inviting. It is my number-one choice to bring guests who love discovering new flavours. See you soon!

Went first with my son last week & then, with my wife. having worked in fine dining for nearly 30 years, I knew full well that Peruvian cuisine is the crown jewel of the Americas. "Peru's cuisine evolved through the fusion of indigenous Peruvian cultures, Spanish colonization, Arab/Moorish influences, the arrival of slaves from Africa, & Japanese & Chinese immigrants". With hundreds of varieties of peppers & a longstanding fish culture , it came as no surprise that everything was delicious. The capital Lima is particularly famous for chifa , a latino-cantonese style that infuses all the influences one can imagine . Both times , the octopus was simply ridiculously amazing, soft, grilled to perfection, sweet, spicy & long lasting tasty. The ceviche latino-chino had fresh halibut , tiger milk & cilantro, refreshingly divine. Wagyu tartare in a cone was subtle & celestial. Causa avocado & shrimp was a textural delight. main corses was (both times) the Lomo saltado (filet mignon in a decidedly Cantonese sauce , brimming with flavour), but the killer dish was the best duck I have ever had (having tried the French, Chinese & the Hungarian versions many times), succulent pieces in a Peking style with a tangy ceviche -like vinaigrette that was on the verge of ridiculous! Try the Pisco sour a cocktail you will remember. This will become a regular stop in our dining calendar. Even the staff remembered me from my previous visit. Absolute pleasure !
Nice place friendly staff! The food was ok
Was disappointed about their special rice
Was lacking spices (was blend) chaufa especial
Didn't see red onions anywhere or barely & no spicy sauce of any kind in sight....where's the Aji Verde🤷🏽
Jalapina drink was good
Combo chifero (brochette was ok)
Causa (mash potato all black looks like playdoo) squid ink I believe is used (not for me)
Siu Mai (dumpling) was good
Lomo Saltado was delicious ( basically filet Mignon in a sauce)
Kan lu wonton (fried wonton) anything fried is usually good
Bleury vision drink was basically an old fashion
169$ (67$ - 2 cocktails -1beer - 2 glass of wines) Before tax & tip - 102$ in food....basically Peruvian food for anyone that believe salt & pepper are spices lol (don't think a true Peruvian would appreciate or anyone that like authentic food & I did experience Peruvian food before) but it's a nice place & since it's open late on weekend when tipsy it's better than hot dog poutine or McDonald
Great tapas style Peruvian-Chinese dishes. Sitting at the bar, we ordered anticuchos de pulpo, ceviche chino-latino, lomo saltado, camarones, 2 desserts of picarones & pastel de choclo. Lovely cocktails of pisco sour, maracuyá sour, & La Jalapiña. Great playlist in the background at just the right volume. Great service. Would definitely return!

There are two restaurants in Montreal that are distinctively different than the rest: Chifa & its neighbour, Tiradito, both created by partners chef Marcel Larrea & David Dumay. I highly recommend both. A fun riff on Peruvian-Japanese & Peruvian-Chinese cuisines. Delicious flavours, unusual ingredients, dangerous drinks, staff that will be friends by the time you leave, & an underground bar to end (or begin) the night. Go.
