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.

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.
We went last night for mtl a table. All of us had the xinxiang beef which did not disappoint! Excellent flavours which were both spicy & sweet at the same time. Will be back for another meal at this place!
It's an Asian fusion restaurant. The good was well presented but I found the taste similar to normal food court experience. The cocktail was amazing. Service was superb.

East Pan Asiatique Cuisine & Bar is inside Renaissance hotel, we ate our breakfast every morning here. (The lobster Benedict is really good, remember to check it out.) The food here is very good. I had a Chirashi Don, the sashimi is super delicious. Cocktail is superb. & I love the service here very much. Highly recommend it.
J'ai beaucoup aimé le petit robot serveur. Ma petite cousine s'est beaucoup amusé avec lui. Large choix de sushis & autres mets japonais. Service rapide & bonne qualité de produit. Très bon.
