We visited Le Lotus Bleu on our third day in Montreal & instantly regretted not coming sooner! The lamb noodle soup was incredible- the flavor was spot on, the broth was light yet comforting, & the noodles were cooked perfectly.
Honestly, it blows the LanZhou next door completely out of the water (which we visited on our first day here). Plus, the medium bowl came with way more meat than we expected for the price. The roasted chicken was also amazing. Highly recommend both the chicken & the lamb noodles!
I just discovered this place & I think I have already been like 4 times in less than a month.
Very sweet hostess, service pretty quick considering plates cooked on site.
I have tasted the shrimp+ porc fried raviolis : sooo good. I use soya sauce, a hit of balsamic vinegar & their spicy sauce. & also the fried imperial rolls: also very good & crispy.
My other guests tasted the small chicken soups : really great portion & hot & quick too.
The space is cozy , however there is enough movement to not have to wait in line.
In walking distance to Metro Champ de Mars.
& the hostess always notices new people coming in & makes sure to seat them or ask them how many people.
I would eat this everyday of I could!

The thing to try here are noodle soups - superb hand-pulled noodles & excellent broths. The dumplings are ok but the noodles are superb. It has the feel of a family restaurant with the owners serving & very attentive. Excellent MTL Chinatown experience.
We loved everything we ordered except for the xiaolong bao which had no soup inside. Highly recommend the minced pork noodles, very nice flavor. & yes other reviews about no AC is correct.the service was friendly & fast. The lady made fresh noodles in the kitchen was kind to give us a show of noodle making ❤?
The hand-pulled noodles are bouncy & DELISH! I wish that they had put a little less chili oil on my chicken & mushroom soup (i would recommend asking them to not put any & adding yourself the chili oil). The Henan style beef noodles were meh, would not reorder.
I went with my friends, so I forgot to take photos of the beef noodles & spring rolls, but both were delicious. The soup dumplings were a good temp & didnt burn my mouth when they arrived so I could eat faster. The flavor of the soup dumplings felt like it melted in my mouth! The fried chicken was the crispy chicken I've ever had, but is doesn't come with sauce & its not pieces but rather a piece of chicken cut into slices. If you are looking for korean friend chicken or a type of very moist chicken, then this is not it, but for just dark meat, fried chicken I like this place. The wonton soup was very good! The dumplings for the wonton soup was a good size & the wonton were thin & slippery, which I loved, but if you prefer thicker dumplings for your wontons then it is not for you. I also really liked the broth as it reminded me of a resturant I used to eat at in Virginia. Lastly, the atmosphere was very nice & quiet. Overall, I really liked this place & will definitely be coming back for the everything, but especially the wonton soup & dumplings!
Wow, I didn't expect the beef noodle soup to be this good! The hand-pulled noodles are definitely the best part-perfectly chewy & delicious. It's a must-try.
delicious, super affordable, & fast service!
the broth, chewy & bounciness of the noodles, the chilli oil & everything was sooooo good!!!! highly recommend the chicken & shiitake spicy noodle soup!
their lamb soup is very popular too i'll have to try this next time
