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.

Food is amazing. We tried the gyoza, fried tofu & crispy chicken for appetizers; the last 2 looked like soft tacos. These were very good, my favorite were the gyozas. For Main dishes we the Szechuan chicken & the general Taos chicken; an excellent selection; the latter was a bit sweeter but crispy with amazing crispy bok choy. The cocktails were absolutely to die for. My husband had the cherry blossom (bourbon) which he absolutely loved. They didn't have a cocktail with vodka which is my preferred alcohol but the bartender custom made the ginger/mezcal drink with it, & I couldn't have enough. It delicious!! 😍 The vibe was calm/chill when we visited & that worked for us.
I went there with colleagues for our Christmas dinner. The atmosphere was great because we could talk with each other (not noisy). There is variety in the dish menu, Japanese, korean etc.. Some of the dishes might be too spicy for some. You might asked not to add a lot of spices in your dish if you don't like them. It did not bother me I found it really tasty. I took the Korean barbecue. The only negativity was that it took a long time to be served eventhough the restaurant was not really full.
Was really looking forward to trying the dishes, looked so promising!... but was quite a disappointment. The sashimi order was not raw & looked like tiny morsel of some fish?... couldn't see the orange of the salmon. The Tonkatsu soup lacked any flavor!... the schiuan dish had more onions than meat...but the ambiance was great... waiters were really pleasant.
Les cocktails sont over priced. Ils étaient juste "okay".
soupe de patate douce exquise. Yaki Udon au filet mignon délicieux. Ambiance parfaite, pas trop bruyant pas de musique forte, très classe.
Tout était parfait sauf au moment de payer. Notre serveur est disparu & tous les autres couraient & faisaient comme s'ils ne nous voyaient pas. Le reste était parfait. Dommage!
Really great staff & amazing food. I just recently came here as part of a work lunch & can say the service was simply outstanding. I had the salmon & it was really fresh.
Belle ambiance
Beau services de la part du personel
La nourriture : les dumpling étaient froids & la pâte était dur.
Mon plat de canard & nouille était très salé! Trop de sauce soya.
La crème brûlée était bien.
Il n'y avait définitivement pas assez de serveurs, le service était lent & peu personnalisé. Quand on achète une bouteille de vin de ce prix, il me semble qu'on s'attend à ce qu'il soit servi & qu'on n'ait pas besoin de le faire nous-même. Bref, la nourriture était bonne, mais on a dû attendre 30 minutes avant de commander & 45 minutes ensuite pour nos entrées. Décevant, surtout dans le cadre de MTL à table.
Nous avons été déçus de la qualité de menu MTL à Table & du service par rapport aux nombreux midis que nous avons passé chez vous. C'est dommage. Les quantités étaient très bonnes cela dit.
