Restaurant La Perle in Dollard-des-Ormeaux on Boulevard St-Jean serves fine Thai and Schezwan cuisine using fresh products. Buffet served at your table and menu à la carte. Restaurant La Perle is renowned for its General Tao chicken and its Hunnan dumplings. Contemporary decor and casual ambiance. Savour over 115 dishes, wide array of dishes for vegetarians, La Perle also boasts an excellent wine selection, beers and non-alcoholic drinks.
La Perle is described by many as a staple and one of the best Asian spots on the island, prized for fresh flavors, popular items like shrimp toast and peanut butter dumplings, and generally friendly service when staff are on hand, though some visits are marked by slower service and gaps in attentiveness. Several reviews note changes since the COVID reopening, with dishes sometimes tasting drier, prices higher, and portions or pacing varying especially during peak times or Sunday lunches, leading some patrons to question if the experience still matches memory. Despite the mixed notes, a strong current of positive sentiment remains, with frequent praise for takeout quality, consistent flavor when at its best, and a willingness to return; others describe it as less essential than before, seeking other options in the area. In sum, La Perle remains a widely frequented West Island option with a favorable core for many, but the overall experience can feel uneven depending on timing, staffing, and expectations.
I love going here! I've been going with my family since I have a child! Amazing food! I mean AMAZING, good service everyone is so nice the staff has been working there for decades!! Highly recommend!!!!
Il y a un énorme choix de plats. Le service est quand même rapide. Il n'y a pas de limites quant au nombre mais le gaspillage n'est pas tolérer, on doit payer pour les plats qui ne sont pas consommés. Les plats sont très bon malgré la variété. Souvent quand il y a trop de chose au menu la qualité prend un coup, pas ici. Il y a quand même beaucoup de stationnement à l'extérieur. Si vous avez un craving de plat asiatique, c'est une très bonne option dans le West Island. Je vous le conseil, bon appétit !
La Perle has been our go to place for, IMHO, the best Szechuan & Thai food in Montreal. We often go as a group & opt for the all you can eat menu. The choice is amazing & the quality is outstanding. La Perle has not disappointed since we move to the West Island over 40 years ago. Highly recommended.
The best Chinese restaurant in the West Island & definitely very popular among the customers. It is a pearl among the restaurants in terms of the quality of food & service. Make a reservation if you don't want to wait among the long lineups & whatever you get, don't forget the Sizzling Chicken. It is definitely my favorite & we get it everytime we go to La Perle. Perfect place to bring your family & friends :) UPDATE: Been there multiple times & also tried the duck & really good food!
They don't accept debit cards, only credit. But no one told me about this until I finished eating & tried to pay. Plus the waiter is kinda rude & the meals are expensive for what you get. I'm not coming back.
You cannot find a better resto in mtl serving szechuan food. They offer thai food as well. If you like peanut butter, you must try their vegetarian Hunan dumplings. They also offer pork dumplings. Staff are pleasant & polite & service is excellent too. All their choices are fantastic especially their seafood dishes.

Birthday lunches are always the best when spent with good friends. I'll be honest, I have not been to La Perle in many years. When I discovered that they have lunch specials, it was a great opportunity to give it another try. We weren't disappointed. With a full course meal & a multitude of selections available, you can always find your favorite dishes. All meals come with a choice of soup, won ton or hot & sour, a spring roll, veggies, rice, your choice of main dishes, tea, & cookies. I had the General Tao, & my friend had the Beef in Pepper Sauce. See pics. Everything was delicious. The General Tao was crispy, as were the veggies. Perfection. I can't wait to go back & try something else.
Le concept d'un buffet avec service à la table est très bon. Cela permet de bien apprécier son entourage (les amis & la famille) autour de la table en tout temps. Le choix des plats se fait ensemble & permet d'apprécier & partager les goûts de chacun pour que tout le monde puisse essayer. Le service est courtois. La qualité de la nourriture est très bonne (ingrédients frais, savoureux avec les sauces accompagnateurs savoureux). La salle à manger est propre. L'atmosphère est propice pour de bonnes conversations Les toilettes sont propres & facilement accessibles. Le restaurant est localisé au premier étage.
The food was very good. We took the *All you can eat" ($43.95, 1/2 price for kids under 10) & the waiter was very helpful in explaining all the choices. Our daighter asked for a second bowl of ice cream & she got it 🙂 I would totally recommend.

this is definitely one of my favorite restaurants, my friends & I have been going for almost 2 decades & I must say I've never been disappointed. One of my favorite things on the menu is shrimp toast which I cannot stop eating because it's so delicious & of course beef with black bean sauce those are my two go-to meals. All the food we've tried were delicious & fresh & the service is top-notch, trust me I've being eating for over 60 years!
This is a true hidden pearl of the west islands. Love the food & the high class service. I recommend making a reservation. If you are hubgry, chose the all you can eat option.
AYCE menu option available. We always opte fot that option as the choices are incredible. The dishes are excellent, you get over 100+ items to choose from. We love going in a group setting so we get to pick lots of dishes. We discovered some dishes that we would have never tried before (hello shrimp canapés) & absolutely loved them! The AYCE is worth it!
