En Apéro nous avons bu un Pisco sour, le meilleur à Montréal selon nous. Nous avons mangé un ceviche tout à fait délicieux, des brochettes de pieuvres à la cuisson parfaite dans une sauce orientale bien relevée, d'excellentes crevettes & un plat de légumes sautés qui complétait merveilleusement le tout. Un verre de blanc autrichien accompagnait le tout à merveille. La serveuse, Jeanne nous a offert un service impeccable & chaleureux. C'était notre troisième visite, j'y retourne volontier,

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!

Fantastic experience. We were seated at the bar with open kitchen entertaining us. We gave the waiter & chef carte blanche & the Pisco Sours, dishes & wine pairings kept flowing. A night to remember!

This was our first experience trying any sort of peruvian food & we were very impressed. The cocktail menu contained a selection of predictable Pisco drinks, which we had no problem enjoying! Shoutout to any cocktail with passionfruit. For the food it is a fusion of peruvian & Chinese & we took the bartenders recommendations & tried the ceviche Pato caliente, the lomo saltado (the sauce being the highlight here for sure) & the chaufa especiale (fried rice). This was definitely enough food for the two of us. Overall great service & recommendations. We will definitely be back.

The food at this place is just incredible if you like trying fusion cuisine asian/peruvian. The staff is super nice & absolutely passionate I have discovered so many great dishes & drinks from their recommendations. Must try the Pisco Sour 🍹 & the 4 skewers tasting 🍢 as well as the ceviche are my personal favorites. This is really a montreal hidden gem 💎 most restaurant staff from other high end restaurants love to go to this spot to eat & that says a lot. It can be a bit tight & you do need a reservation as it's mostly sold out for the busy nights like Thursday to Sunday.

Charming atmosphere & great location. The anticuchos de pulpo (octopus) were the highlight of the menu (the sauce was exquisite!)! Other dishes varied from good to okay, & drinks were a bit disappointing-I don't think they used pisco in the "pisco sour" (perhaps Brandi?). The picarones came out undercooked inside, hopefully just a bad batch.

Pas mal, les plats gagneraient cependant à être plus chauds. Pour les piscos sour & maracuya, il y a du travail à faire. Recevoir un pisco tiède, c'est assez ordinaire. & perso, j'aurai mis un peu plus de pisco.

Chaque fois, c'est un voyage gastronomique au Pérou sans faille! Le staff est jovial, les assiettes savoureuses! C'est mon incontournable du centre-ville! Il faut vraiment goûter à leur pisco ;)

We had a lovely time at Chifa. Food & drinks were superb. I had two pisco drinks & my partner had an excellent gin cocktail. We tried the General Bao appetizer. It was the best version of that I've ever had. We were delighted by the other entrees. In particular their take in the fried chicken was imaginative & well executed. A great find!

Bon restaurant. Je conseille d'essayer plusieurs plats. Nous avons pris 5 plats & tous étaient délicieux. L'inspiration chinoise est facilement identifiable dans les assiettes. J'ai essayé de nouvelles choses. Les cocktails sont très bien aussi. J'ai pris un pisco sour.

This restaurant really brought me back home. We ordered the combo chifero & chaufa rice with the maracuya pisco & the pisco sour. At the end of the meal I was actually full but I debated strongly about trying out more food just base on how delicious it was! The service was excellent. It was not slow, but we also did not feel rushed at all. Our server was helpful & the staff was really nice, one of the chefs came to bring us one of our plates & we had a nice chat. It is definitely gourmet chifa food, but it is totally worth it. This is a great place for a date or to visit with a small group of friends.

There is reason we keep coming back! What can I say that I already haven't said on previous reviews, we were impressed with the pisco sours the bartender crafted for us, since my last visit to South America I have not attested a better pisco sour the one served to us. The taste was bar to none & couldn't help but enjoying a second round. The cuisine itself was to die for! The cones & anticuchos to start alongside the ceviche melted in your mouth & was topped off with a shot of ceviche juice & pisco was amazing. The Lomo did not disappoint again & we only wish we lived closer so we can experience this more often. Again & again the service is the best we have experienced since moving from Alberta 8 months ago. Thanks again Chifa & team, hope to see 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 !

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!

Bien agréable moment! Bonne bouffe! Pisco sour bon! Dommage que le service soit si rapide & en anglais malgré le fait que nous répondions en français! Nous y retournerons!
