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.
Incredible meal in a chill environment. We went with a taster menu that hit every high note: fresh & rare ingredients combined with refined presentation & flavors. The wine list is spectacular, & the staff is incredibly knowledgeable & worldly. Will definitely dine there again, & would highly recommend to all those who love good food without the pretentiousness.
Fantastic experience, the wine selection is outstanding & food is out of this world. The beef tartare starter was particularily tasteful. Will visit again!

Ce fut une magnifique aventure gastronomique. Tous les plats étaient excellents, raffinés & généreux. Le serveur nous a de plus très bien guidés dans nos choix de vin. Bref, nous avons passé un excellent moment en famille car tout était au rendez-vous.
We were looking forward to this dinner for weeks. We have come for dinner before, & the food & experience was always incredible, so our expectations were high. Our experience this time around was very disappointing. We opted for the $100 tasting menu, as we've done previously. In the past we received between 5-6 courses, this time only 3. When we realized this I think our server could see we were disappointed & offered to add, at an extra cost, a cheese course to finish. The quality of food was good however the portion size was significantly smaller than our last experiences, & were primarily fish & vegetarian, we had one small piece of pork each. For a tasting menu of $100, the dishes were extremely disappointing & we actually left hungry. This used to be our favourite restaurant & we chose it for our special occasions. I'm not sure if this night was an anomaly, but I will definitely think twice about coming back.
Nous avons eu droit à un service incroyable! Je suis végétarienne & ils se sont adaptés à mes besoins. La nourriture était très goûteuse & remplie de différentes textures! Merci infiniment!

La dégustation pour trois personnes, tout simplement extraordinaire. Un de mes meilleurs restaurants à vie!
& que dire du service...impeccable!
Merci à toute l'équipe. On y reviendra!
Wonderful restaurant. Always a great experience, amazing service, incredible food, & excellent selection of wines. You can't go wrong with the tasting menu
Waitstaff- mature & warm w/ a strong sense of ‘the best of the best offered.'
Kitchen staffed w/ a diverse band of ‘young punk foodies' each dish is superb In presentation w/ bold flavors.
Razor clams, silky salmon sliced over a tangy potato salad, spaghetti rolled w/ blue crab. Let the waiter be your guide at this ‘perfect spot.'
Soirée des plus agréable, staff & meal "on point" 🍴👌 pour une souper à 1000$ nous avons eu que de la qualité & ma conjointe se souviendra de cette anniversaire longtemps ✌️
Délicieux dîner & service impeccable les serveurs sont adorables & drôles ! C'est un peu éloigné du centre de la ville mais vaut à coup sûr le détour !!
