Flamme du Sichuan

2.0

I recently tried Flame du Sichuan in Montreal after hearing a lot of hype about it, but unfortunately my experience was very disappointing.
To start, we had to wait about 20 minutes outside just to be seated, which was already a bit frustrating. When we were finally brought in, we were seated right near the door, & every time it opened, cold air came in. I understand that restaurants get busy, especially popular ones, so this part was manageable, but it set the tone for the rest of the visit.
I was there with my family, & we specifically asked for non-spicy dishes. Despite that, the food that arrived was extremely spicy, to the point where it was difficult to eat & clearly not what we had requested. It felt like our request was ignored, which was disappointing given how clear we were when ordering.
The worst part of the experience, however, was related to food safety. I clearly told the staff that I am allergic to shrimp, yet when I started eating my stir-fried rice, my brother noticed a piece of shrimp in the dish. If he hadn't pointed it out in time, I could have ended up in the hospital. This is not a small mistake, it's a serious issue, especially for a restaurant that serves many customers with allergies.
Overall, the food was not worth the wait, the hype, or the price, & the lack of attention to dietary restrictions was extremely concerning. I was really hoping for a better experience, but sadly, I would not recommend this restaurant, especially to anyone with allergies or specific dietary needs.

Incredible taste that i've never tried in mtl. We came here few times & love it. At first they gave the lemon juice but no more. The food was amazing hitting with the flavour. I really love the fried tofu. Also the shredded potato is good too. Moreover the fried chicken with chilli is my favorite too. Big portion. When i went there, there was a lineup. Great services. Parking on the side of the street.

Well, I have to say it
Probably the best & most authentic sichuan restaurant we have in montreal
A little bit long line, but if you can get in from the first 10 tables , you should be ok
Personally we waited from 11😅& luckily there only 1 group of 3 waiting ahead of us
The decor is very old fashion chinese street restaurants vibe, almost feel like a museum
The staff welcomed us in very passionately & friendly & seated us
Offered apron as well as hair band for the long hair girls (which you may keep)
We ordered both dessert, which both are very good
As main, we ordered zi-gong style stir fried chicken (boneless) + spicy frog
I would say the chicken is so amazing that I can't stop eating it 🤤? even all the vege that inside the dish are so flavourful
The frog taste almost like spicy fish, & the zucchini in there just such a nice touch
Totally worth going, only if the line up is not too crazy 😅
