La Maison Dumplings (The Dumpling Hut) comes across as a cozy hidden gem where handmade dumplings are prepared fresh and served in a warm, homey space, with the option to watch dumplings being made behind the counter. Reviewers describe the skins as chewy and the fillings juicy, with favorites including pork and dill, lamb coriander, beef and onion, and a variety that often includes cucumber salad and miso soup; many say the dumplings are among the best in Montreal and praise the wide variety and quality. The menu accommodates both steamed and fried dumplings, with vegetarian options noted as well and prices viewed as fair for the portion size. Service is described as fast and friendly, though crowds can make it feel busy and a couple of visits note the service at peak times was not perfect. The atmosphere is charming and intimate, sometimes a bit noisy, but the space is appreciated for its cozy house vibe and the chance to sample a range of flavors with friends or family. Overall, this spot is widely recommended as a reliable, tasty option for dumplings, with many finding it a go to for fresh, well seasoned, homemade style bites.
The Dumpling Hut is a small, cosy spot with a warm, homey feel, the kind of hidden gem you might walk past if you don't look closely. The entrance is tucked in, & inside you'll find a wall covered in handwritten Post-it notes that adds a lot of charm & personality.
The dumplings are fresh & clearly made with care, & you can watch the prep happen behind the counter. We shared a mix: chicken & mushroom, lamb & coriander, cabbage & mushroom & seaweed & cucumber salad. Everything was satisfying & well-balanced, nothing too oily or heavy. The chicken & mushroom stood out, & the cucumber salad on the side was a refreshing touch.
Service is quick & friendly. The space is simple & unpretentious, but the food more than makes up for it.
Tips:
Go with two or three people so you can try more dishes without waiting long.
Order a mix of steamed & fried dumplings, depending on what's fresh that day.
Expect a short wait at peak times.
A relaxed, local spot for handmade dumplings that feel home-cooked & comforting. I'd go back for sure.
Was in town for Pride. Visited this spot for Lunch on Friday at 1pm. It was not busy & service was fast. Staff was nice, friendly & answered all questions. I had the cucumber salad, wonton soup & a small portion of pork & cabbage dumplings (10pc).
Everything tasted great. The dumplings were tasty & I did not feel like I needed any sauce, though they had Chinkiang Vinegar, soy sauce & chilli oil available on the table. Wonton soup was small but very flavourful, a great entree. The cucumber salado was good, but a bit too salty.
Overall I would definitely come back!

Genuinely my favourite dumplings in mtl. I always get the beef & onion steamed & a cucumber salad. Having tried many dumplings restaurants in mtl this one is by farrrrr the best. Highly recommend. & service is always great & super fast. Also prices are very fai
Good enough for a satisfying fix. The wrapping is not too thick nor too thin & good chewiness. Had the lamb & coriander. Splash of vinegar & you are in business!
Marinated cucumber app is a good way to start your meal. Recommend.
These taste homemade, so do not expect heavily seasonned dumplings from those famous chains.
Price is right & the place is quiet enough to have a hear your table mate. So I will be back for more!

My favourite dumplings in all of mtl! They've made dumplings my favourite food, I'm not joking. I also love their cucumber salad! Just as good as take out btw
What more could I ask for? Tastes like a plate of homemade dumplings from my MOM. Cucumber salad was some of the best I've ever had. & the interior is simple & lovely. Past the counter you can watch a woman filling dough.
Not like other Asian restaurants, this place only serves so many kinds of dumpling! It's quiet & nice restaurant, the cucumber salad is spicy but good spice! I only 16 dumpling & very satisfied!
Very simple delicious dumpling place. The dumplings (plate of 10 or 16) are the best in town. There are a dozen different ones. My favorite: beef&coriander or shrimp, pork & zucchini. Great spicy cucumber salad. A green tea. & that"s it. Small restaurant (~6 tables). Service is fine.
