Flamme du Sichuan earns praise for delivering authentic Sichuan heat and bold, vibrant flavors, with diners highlighting generous portions, a lively rustic interior that evokes street stalls, and a strong focus on hospitality that elevates the meal. The staff are frequently described as attentive and helpful, guiding guests through a complex menu and suggesting balanced pairings to temper heat with cooling sides. While the food generally impresses, some dishes are noted for being extremely spicy or overly salty, and lines or long waits on busy weekends are common since reservations are limited. A few reviews mention dietary concerns or spice customization, but the overall impression is that Flamme du Sichuan is a standout Sichuan option in Montreal and many visitors plan to return.
We waited in line for 40 minutes, & that's fine, I don't mind. But when we went inside, we were among the first to arrive at opening time. They only seated five tables before us. We were already waiting inside when the place opened, but in 10 minutes they only seated eight people.
The guests were greeted by a worker with disheveled hair, a guy with a helmet on his head. He was so nasty, ugly, & completely out of shape.
This worker approached us while we were already waiting inside at the entrance & said,'Hi,' & I replied,'Hi.' To my surprise, he said'Hi' again. I thought for a second, but then answered'Hi' again. He said'Hi' again with a mocking smile, this time completely mocking me.
Then he asked,'How can I help you... Seriously? How can you help me? You idiot? We've been standing in line at the restaurant for 40 minutes. How can you help me? You stupid white-headed fatso.'
The evening was ruined. We didn't eat & left angry
Called at 10:30 for takeout. They told me they open at 12:00, so earliest option was 12:45. I call back at 12 & they said they only do take out after 4. Was told by 2 staff they did lunch takeout, only to have the rug pulled.
I'm sure the food is great though, just bad service.

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 😅
Best Sichuan meal I've had in Montreal! Crispy stir-fry, spicy tripe, & the manager's top-tier service (he's so friendly ) made this a fantastic dining experience.🥰
Authentic Sichuan cuisine with unique interior design. Can't get much better than this. Great addition to downtown mtl. Very popular so be prepared to wait a bit during peak times (weekends, dinner).
I had one portion of'Twice cooked porked' & one of'Kong Pao Chicken'.
The portions are huge, a single portion is too much for one person alone & should be shared.
The twice cooked pork was delicious & tasted just like in Chengdu.
The Kong Pao Chicken was good but didn't taste authentic, they added some chayote to the recipe which I've never seen before, it was also more on the sweet side.
The waiting staff was great, they were helpful & kind.
I'm looking forward to come back & try other dishes!

The interior decorations & the liveliness of the place really makes you feel like you are eating at a restaurant in China out on the street & I really enjoyed that atmosphere. The problem is that the restaurant is really popular & that they do not take any reservations. You have to go in & give your name & phone number & they will call you back when a table is available. However, the wait time is usually around 2 hours on the weekend which is quite a lot. The service was great. The waitress was patient & attentive. They took the time to explain us their menu & give us their recommendations & also explain to us their level of spiciness. The food itself was quite fantastic. The food is indeed spicy, especially if you choose to go with the full spice, but the spiciness is a great addition to the flavours of the dish & not overwhelming the rest of the ingredients. The prices seem a bit elevated when you take a look at the menu but the portions are pretty large which does make up for it. I do feel like it's an amazing place for a larger group to share a lot of different dishes & just enjoy the food together.
Cuisine sichuanaise authentique, tellement délicieuse ! C'est vraiment le top du top à Montréal 😋
Chaque plat est plein de saveurs - le boeuf tripe & la gorge de porc sont d'une texture incroyable !
Les ingrédients sont frais, les portions très généreuses (on a même dû emporter la moitié à la maison 😅).
Le service est impeccable : les serveurs remplissent l'eau, changent les assiettes & apportent des serviettes sans qu'on ait besoin de demander.
On est venus avec un enfant qui ne mange pas trop épicé, & ils ont gentiment adapté les plats - moins pimenté & moins salé.
