The intimate setting and the chance to watch the kitchen in action contribute to a memorable atmosphere, while the restaurant's upfront pricing is appreciated and reservations are advised due to limited seating.

Overall Le Chien Fumant is described as a standout spot in Montreal for gastronomy lovers, praised for its passion, creativity, and memorable evenings.
The steak was literally perfect, something I have never encountered before. Each bite cooked just rare enough to be succulent & beyond delicious, I could find absolutely nothing to critique. The chef is a true master, & the ambiance & our waiter were lovely.
Toujours aussi bon. Top qualité sans prétention. Une cuisine exceptionnelle. Service impeccable & sympathique.. en bref... un incontournable pour passer une belle soirée.
Les cocktails n'étaient pas bon(même si on avait commandé des cocktails classique). Le service un peu rude. On ne s'entendait pas du tout parce que la music était trop forte (recommandations : mettre des panneaux sonore pour absorber le son) mais la nourriture était délicieux. Je pense que je suis rendue vieille & ce n'est plus le vibe que j'aime.

Bon service, bonne qualité de nourriture, mais stationnement difficile, petit endroit & un peu plus dispendieux que ce que ça devrait être. Bonne expérience en générale.
Absolutely one of the best meals & experiences we ever had. We were lucky sit at the bar & engage in conversation with our professional waiter & also the owners/chefs. I did put trust in our waiter to design the meal according to his recommendations, & I was. not disappointed. We essentially did a quasi tasting menu. When I saw a beautiful truffle, being shaved over the most creamy gnocchi, I knew I'd be reaching deep in my pocket, but I just didn't care. He recommended a wonderful bordeaux in the mid price (not highest) range, & it balanced perfectly with everything. We were lucky to be there towards closing & that allowed us to talk to both the owner & some regulars sitting at the bar. We listened to them debate the restaurant scene in Montreal with energy & passion, all for our benefit. I know I'm gushing over this restaurant, but it is for good reason. Do not miss this one.
