I came here with my friends, expecting it might be a bit of a gamble, but it turned out to be surprisingly good. The Mao Xue Wang & Kung Pao Chicken really showcase the skill of Sichuan cooking - the chicken was tender & juicy, & the shrimp chips, shrimp, & squid in the Mao Xue Wang were all fresh & flavorful.
To be honest, the eggplant with green beans was just average, but the big-eyed staff member was very attentive. Although his Chinese wasn't very fluent, he kept trying to communicate with us & patiently suggested that since we were only two ladies, we didn't need to order too many dishes & could go for smaller portions to avoid wasting food. You can tell the owner runs the place with honesty. Highly recommended - definitely worth a try!
Best chinese high end restaurant i have been to in awhile. The shrimp ball appetizers were amazing. An explosion of texture & flavor that was unmatched. We enjoyed everything we ate from the general tao chicken to the ginger noodles to the five spice fried calamari. Price wise it is on the higher end of most Chinese restaurants however in my opinion it reflects the quality of what was served as well as the portions offered. The waiter was helpful attentive & truly professional. We will definitely come back.
This restaurant is a nice twist of Chinese cuisine with innovative creation, where new ideas are unleashed to blend in harmony with typical menu.
Even the atmosphere feels different, with a warm welcome so noticeable that makes you really feel at home. Staff are very attentive without being overly intrusive. There is a high presence of hospitality where you never feel watched, only looked after. They rely on visuals & a quiet presence to ensure everything is progressing perfectly. Tea pots are swiftly being refilled. A variety of different size rectangular tables, as opposed to the typical round tables, to accommodate large groups.
Getting back to the dishes:
- We started with crispy shrimp balls with the filling being bouncy with a savoury paste made from minced shrimp. The outside is deep-fried rice sticks (?) puffed up to become incredibly airy & shatteringly crisp, creating that'nest' look.
- Meat balls enrobed with white rice, where the meat is so deliciously seasoned.
- The next dish is a Szechuan style fish soup with pickled cabbage buried at the bottom. This is a relatively thick broth with a luxurious mouthfeel & I can tell that fish head & bones were fried & simmered intensely to create this creamy white base. The soup is finished by pouring smoking hot oil over the dried chilies. So delicious, but if I had to re-order it, I would ask the chef to go easy on the salt.
- Beijing roast duck. This is quite a large plate as it looks like the entire duck was carved. This is served with pancakes, cucumber sticks & the sweet salty sauce. If you are looking for the imperial taste of B?ij?ng k?oy?, then this is not the place, but nevertheless very acceptable.
- Mince pork & beans. I occasionally cook with these ingredients, but the taste is truly unique & well worth a try.
- Sweet & sour chicken. This is the typical dish in balancing sweet & sour flavours, accompanied by large chunks of green onions & red bell peppers. The glistening, reddish-brown glaze is probably made with sweet bean sauce.
- Fried rice. Not the typical Cantonese fried rice I am used to, as the taste & even the rice is different. It is well seasoned, savoury & aromatic. But so different.
Thanks to the host family who invited us to this truly unique restaurant which is a place I would greatly recommend.
It's a big restaurant with a lot of seats & it was a bit disheartening to see that we were one of the few tables for a Sunday night. Because of that, the service was especially attentive but they were nice & polite in general. The food itself was great. The various flavours from the sauces were complementing the dishes pretty well. I especially enjoyed the deep fried shrimp balls. The pictures looked awfully small at first but the portion ended up being much bigger than we initially thought when ordering. We ended up ordering a bit too much because of that but you won't be making that mistake since you read my warning now. The prices are reasonable for the portions but they do seem quite expensive at first glance.
The place was warm & inviting, with a great ambiance. The food was absolutely delicious, & the staff was courteous, attentive, & informative. It was a perfect dining experience from start to finish! Complimenti!
Le Piment Rouge was a fantastic experience with delicious food, exceptional service, & excellent atmosphere. Dimitri, our waiter, was attentive & very helpful. He, & the rest of the team & management, took great care of us & we will be back!
Warm atmosphere, superb decor, attentive & personable service & excellent food!
My wife & I stumbled upon "Le Piment Rouge Beaumont" quite by accident after a medical appointment in TMR, & what a delightful discovery it was! Initially hesitant due to its modest 4.0 rating & some critical reviews, our cravings led us through its doors-& we're thrilled they did! In a word, this place is *astonishing*. Nestled unexpectedly in its neighborhood, it stands out as the most authentic Chinese dining experience in Montréal. Our encounter with the staff only amplified our enjoyment. Brianna, a bright & attentive server, made us feel so at home that we were tempted to recruit her for our own business! Alongside her was a courteous young man whose professionalism matched her own. The culinary prowess was evident in every dish, compelling us to seek out the chefs just to express our gratitude for the meal that filled both our bellies & our hearts. With an average price of around $200 for two, the restaurant provides great value for truly high-quality fare. Our only wish is that it were closer to the West Island! Le Piment Rouge Beaumont deserves every accolade for its superb food, excellent service, & welcoming atmosphere. We eagerly anticipate our next visit, & recommend it to anyone in search of authentic Chinese cuisine. Highly recommended!
