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.
Best dumplings in Montreal, always freshly made, delicate, chewy dough. I wish there was a straight up shrimp dumplings, or more blends of lamb
Edit: could you also do some shrimp & chives dumplings ? Thank you
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.

Les meilleurs & les plus authentiques dumplings a Montréal - fortement recommandé - les dumplings & l'ambiance du restaurant m'a rappelé les restaurants que j'ai visités quand j'habitais en Chine
Staff was very kind & helpful. We ordered the pork/chive & lamb/coriander, both regular, plus seaweed salad. Plenty of food for two adults & two kids with a few dumplings for later. The seaweed salad was delicious. The dumplings, fresh & amazing. My favorite, the lamb. The kids, the pork. Would eat there again & order the same!
Great little restaurant hidden from the busy streets of Montreal. Service was fast & friendly. The lamb coriander dumplings are to die for! The pork, zucchini, & shrimp dumplings were good, too. Check this place out - you won't regret it!!!
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!
We went for lunch in this little place & it was a very charming experience. As tourists looking to try as many dumplings as places as we could, this was a great spot. The first thing you feel is that you have arrived at a restaurant that is loved by their neighborhood, with a down to earth atmosphere & decoration. The dumplings are freshly made individually at the back of the shop, & you can see them being made. This freshness is noticeable in the food, as you can eat more a lot before feeling full. Really recommend the lamb & coriander dumplings.
I recently tried the cabbage & mushroom dumplings, & they were absolutely delicious! The filling was fresh & well-seasoned, with a perfectly soft wrapper. My friend had the lamb & coriander dumplings & loved the tender lamb paired with the freshness of coriander. To top it off, our server was incredibly kind & attentive, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended!
Do yourself a favour & take that one block turn off St-Laurent Ave & find your way to the Dumpling Hut. Small menu, even smaller floor plan, this tiny place is pumping up killer dumplings. Highly recommended the lamb & coriander, & the egg, tofu & zucchini (pan fried) Tip: check the heat level on the chili oil prior to loading up, it was pretty hot tonight.
Most of our impressions of dumpling restaurants are: crowded, noisy environment, & unaesthetic design. However, I found a dumpling restaurant that feels like home! It is called--The dumpling hut. From the dough to the fillings, everything is handmade. Fennel dumplings, lamb dumplings, & vegetarian dumplings are all very good. You can eat in the restaurant or buy semi-finished products to take home.
amazing pork zucchini & shrimp dumplings. rich broth of the wonton soup while sitting you can see the chef rolling the dumplings & wontons by hand by far a must see place with a cute ambiance with delicious food as fresh as it can get
An absolute to have dumplings if you are in Montreal. Best dumplings I ever had. They are so juicy & flavourful. I tried their lamb coriander & Egg tofu zucchini dumplings , they were just delicious. It's a cute little set up with descent dine in space. The service is pretty quick. You can also buy frozen dumplings from them. I am definitely visiting this place every time I am in Montreal.
Great tasting dumplings at a good price. Hand made, tasted fresh. Server was helpful & attentive. I had the standards. Pork + cabbage, & Lamb + cilantro. Vinegar is clutch. Hot sauce could use an upgrade.
Such a great find! Very friendly & prompt waitress. Excellent food. The seaweed salad was the best I've ever had. We also tried 3 types of dumplings & all were really good. The best was the lamb & cilantro. My kids loved it too. We will definitely be back.
