East Pan-Asian Restaurant serves cuisine in a modern and eclectic decor reminiscent in some details of the effervescent days of old Shanghai.
Born from a very personal approach by owner restaurateurs, the concept of the East was developed with the intention of introducing customers to favorite dishes. Each dish on the menu is distinguished by its flavor and history depending on its country of origin. All lovers of Asian cuisine will be happy to remember them or simply discover them for the first time.
The East is also the perfect place to gather with friends and work colleagues after a busy day to enjoy a cocktail menu that invites travel. Developed by Lawrence Picard, the menu offers classics and creations with an “Old Shanghai” touch.
Also being the restaurant of the Renaissance Montreal Hotel, the East offers hearty breakfasts (traditional and a selection of Dim Sum) every day of the week.
Let us know about your special occasion and it will be our pleasure to accommodate you according to your tastes and needs. You can count on us as much for the creation of personalized menus as for the ambiance or the excellence of the service! Your special event is in good hands.

Super beau restaurant, ambiance tamisée & intime. Les plats étaient bons. Le plat préféré du groupe a été le tofu/poulet général tao. Côté desserts, le gâteau fondant au chocolat ne fondait pas vraiment. Le plus gros hic était le service assez lent, surtout le remplissage des verres d'eau (verres très petits donc terminés rapidement).
Le service était vraiment boff ... le serveur avait l'air d'être nouveau..un peu dépassé par les événements je dirais le service était un petit peu lent . Mais, sinon c'était okay. Ensuite la nourriture ... bon honnêtement y'a trop d'item sur leur menu. La salade de Wakame concombre très bonne très fraîche. Leur Dumplings au poulet (2 sortes) sont aussi excellent. J'ai commandé des huîtres .... les huîtres qui sont arrivés devant moi... pourris .. je peux pas croire que quelqun a vraiment okay ça c'était degeux juste sentir les huîtres tu voyais que c'était pas mangeable d'ailleurs il n'étaient même pas capable de me dire qu'elle sorte d'huître que c'étaient. D'ailleurs le prix pour 6 ne vaut pas la peine. Le pad sew au boeuf était pas très bon non plus goûtait rien c'était fade. L'assiette de tartare au saumon s'en plus c'est pas mauvais mais c'est pas le meilleure que j'ai mangé ....aussi les frites excellente. Le dessert qui était le pana cotta était aussi bon juste bon. Le poke bol était aussi très frais. Très bon. L'ambiance est ok pas besoin d'être habillé over the top juste décontracté jean propre talon ou sneaker beau top aussi fera l'affaire . Bref , j'y étais la journée de la saint-Valentin.. peut être une journée'normal' la nourriture est différente & le service aussi . Est que j'y retournerai... oui
& il y a option végétarien dans le menu.

Nous avons attendu une heure avant de recevoir nos commandes. A la fin, on nous a apporté la liste des desserts mais avant de ce décider quoi commander on nous a dit que c'est trop tard pour commander les desserts. Quand on a commandé une bouteille de vin, ils ont essayé de nous convaincre de prendre une autre bouteille. Sur la facture il y avait un pourboire de 18% inclus déjà car on était un groupe de 11 personnes mais il y avait en bas encore un autre pourboire à ajouter. On nous a pas bien expliqué le pourquoi des deux pourboires & nous avons ajouté un autre pourboire par dessus. Après coup, on s'est rendu compte que le pourboire a été d'environ 50% pour un service pas tout à fait recommandable. Sinon, la bouffe était excellente. Je ne crois pas qu'on revienne.
We've had an amazing dinner here. Great atmosphere. The meals were delicious & quickly served. Great desserts! Totally worth the visit. Thank you Sasha for the excellent service.
The service was excellent, our server was very friendly & just an enjoyable experience overall. As for the food, the entree was excellent, the main course was also great, but the dessert was very disappointing. The caramel was well overcooked & the dessert itself was tasteless. I would definitely recommend the Grilled Chicken Brochettes for the entree & any of their Pad Thais for their main course. As for the dessert I would avoid the cheesecake, as aforementioned.
The prices were quite high, while the portions were not that generous, but the quality of the food makes up for it.
Great place overall, nothing really to complain about except the Cake, as long as you're ready to pay the price.
It is a really good discovery.I ordered dumplings as appetizers & I as please.The main course was good but could've been better( I took the Shanghai noodles).In fact,the noodle were VERY salty cuz they were tooo much soy sauce.My brother took the general Tao.....AMAZING.The saumon was an other level of greatness.The dessert was the real star of the night.I took the chocolate lava cake,I do think that they make it better.In the way,the lava is more liquidy.
This is a large restaurant inside a hotel in the heart of Downtown Montreal. My issue with it was the slow service, & the fact that it lacked any kind of authenticity. The food wasn't bad, but everything lacked a kick (catering to their white clientele). The portions are large & the proteins were actually cooked well (general tsa's chicken main, beef skewer appetizer, panko-crusted salmon & beef pad see ew) but it took over 45 mins to take our drinks order, the appetizers arrived before the drinks, they didn't give us any sharing plates or utensils & the waiters disappear before you can ask for anything so I just grabbed them myself. The desserts weren't good so you can avoid (taro cheesecake had a weird taste & the "panna cotta"... was just so unappetizing). I went for MtlàTable so the menu was decently priced at $35 but I would not return or recommend this restaurant.

Don't bother without a reservation, they will seat you like an inconvenience. Took my mother there in light of MTL à Table on a Tuesday night around 18:30, we were given the "table" right by the entrance screen that only had one sad run-down chair before the waiter who saw us went to get another from a busy table, after clumsily trying to cobble the two tables pictured together as if it would make for a proper set. There were 2 vacant two seat tables by the window panes before the bar, but allegedly they will be occupied within the hour & he "didn't want to inconvenience us moving us mid-meal". It took my asking for the waiter to inform us of this & move us to the bar seats that had much better lighting & atmosphere, which also had more than enough space to accommodate us when we first arrived. Those empty tables I saw when we first stepped in remained vacant through most of our stay there, only by the time we were finishing our desserts a bit before 8 did I finally see them both occupied. Food was okay, my mother seemed to have liked it enough. We had to ask for water refill three times, at least it was easy to do so by the bar. I can't imagine how much worse it would have been if we stayed swept away forgotten in the corner right behind the entrance screen. Overpriced fare was expected especially as I'm aware MTL à Table is also a tourist event, but after this experience & knowing the large amount of Asian options in Downtown Montreal as a local, I can easily live without ever coming back again outside of this event.
Les entrées & le dessert étaient excellentes, toutefois le repas principal était lourd & gras, il manquait de finesse. Bravo pour le service, les jeunes hommes qui nous ont servi (serveur & commis) étaient impeccables.
