Reviews describe La Maison Dumplings (The Dumpling Hut) as a cozy, small spot with fresh handmade dumplings and a simple menu, where both steamed and fried options show off juicy fillings like pork and dill, lamb coriander, zucchini and shrimp, and vegetarian choices; the dough is praised for its chew and the fillings for being flavorful and generous, with several mentions calling it the best dumplings in Montreal and a hidden gem that feels like a home kitchen. The space is intimate, warm and unpretentious, making the experience feel welcoming rather than formal, with quick but friendly service from the staff and a generally fast turnaround, though some notes point to occasional noise, limited seating and the price value being more favorable for the portion size. Overall, the reviews converge on high quality, homemade feel, and a charming atmosphere, with some requests for more beverage options and occasional critique of service or pace, but a strong willingness to return.
Went here twice during our stay in montreal & would probably visit a thrid time if we didnt have to leave today. Yummi dumpling served in what feels like a friends living room. You can watch the Dumpings being shaped in the back of the room & the taste is exquisite. Charming little Business with great qualitiy products, quick, uncomplicated & welcoming.
We found this place while walking through the neighborhood.
It was about a 15 mins wait & it didn't disappoint.
We had 2 steam dumpling orders & 2 wonton soups. Our kids really enjoyed the soup dumplings. Would definitely come back when we're back in town.
you can choose to have your dumplings either steamed or fried, but for whatever reason the fried dumplings don't even come with a SKIRT!! also the fried dumplings cost extra & are barely any different than the steamed ones
cool little spot anyways with an area where you can write your own little post-it at the entrance
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.
this is one of the best dumplings i have ever eaten! This will be way better than your asian grandmas dumplings. Homemade & very juicy! The server was also kind & hardworking
incroyable!

Excellents dumplings les meilleurs que j'ai mangé à Montréal. Les farces goûtent vraiment ce que l'on commande, les dumplings sont frais. Le lieu est cosy.
A hidden dumpling paradise in Montreal that feels like someone's cozy living room!
The Dumpling Hut in Montreal truly feels like you've stepped into someone's house & magically been handed a plate of some of the best dumplings in Canada. The space is small, warm, & full of charm. It is nothing fancy but has that relaxed & welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay forever. It honestly feels like a secret spot that only locals know about & part of me wanted to keep it that way.
The service was lovely. The staff was kind, calm, & made you feel at home right away. The menu is clear & available in both English & French. The selection of dumpling fillings is surprisingly big with both classic options & some creative ones for the adventurous.
Every dumpling we had was juicy, well-seasoned, & perfectly cooked. Whether boiled or fried, they were absolutely delicious. The dipping sauce? A quiet masterpiece.
The only thing I didn't love was the toilet. It's there & it works but that's about all I can say. Still, when the food is this good, you just laugh it off.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Montreal. Come hungry, bring a friend, & maybe use the restroom somewhere else beforehand.

Ein verstecktes Dumpling-Paradies mitten in Montreal, das sich anfühlt wie ein gemütliches Wohnzimmer
The Dumpling Hut in Montreal fühlt sich an, als würde man versehentlich in jemandes Wohnzimmer stolpern und dann völlig überraschend einen Teller mit einigen der besten Dumplings in ganz Kanada bekommen. Der Laden ist klein, gemütlich und total einladend. Es ist nichts Schickes, aber man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Ganz ehrlich, es fühlt sich an wie ein Geheimtipp, den nur Einheimische kennen, und ein kleiner Teil von mir möchte, dass das auch so bleibt.
Der Service war wunderbar. Die Mitarbeitenden waren freundlich, entspannt und man hatte sofort das Gefühl, willkommen zu sein. Die Speisekarte ist übersichtlich und auf Englisch und Französisch verfügbar. Die Auswahl an Füllungen ist groß mit klassischen Varianten genauso wie kreativeren, für die etwas Mutigeren.
Jeder Dumpling war saftig, gut gewürzt und auf den Punkt gegart. Egal ob gekocht oder gebraten, sie waren durchweg lecker. Und die Sojasauce dazu war richtig gut abgestimmt.
Einziger Minuspunkt: die Toilette. Sie ist da, sie funktioniert, mehr aber auch nicht. Doch ganz ehrlich, bei so gutem Essen nimmt man das mit einem Lächeln in Kauf.
Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die in Montreal unterwegs sind. Kommt mit Hunger, bringt am besten noch jemanden mit und nutzt vielleicht vorher noch woanders die Toilette.
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!
Walked 30mins to get here. I ordered fried pork, zucchini & shrimp dumplings to go. I didn't realize it wasn't fried (but steamed) until I had left. I liked the meal but would have very much preferred the fried option, more so because I paired extra for it.
