Reviews describe Le Piment Rouge as a stylish, high end Chinese restaurant in Montreal with a strong focus on authentic Sichuan flavors and inventive twists, offering generous portions and a warm, professional service in a refined setting. The menu earns praise for crispy shrimp balls, Szechuan style dishes, and Beijing roast duck, with many noting freshness, bold flavors, and good balance between traditional and modern ideas. The atmosphere and staff are repeatedly complimented as attentive and welcoming, making it a good choice for celebrations or group dinners, and some guests appreciate the restaurant’s revival and ongoing quality. A few dishes or preparations receive mixed notes, and prices are seen as high but justified by quality and presentation. Overall, Le Piment Rouge stands out as one of the city’s top high end Chinese options, delivering a memorable dining experience with strong consistency in service and flavor.
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!
Just had one of my best experiences in a Chinese restaurant. Highly recommend the squirrel fish dish, it's very authentic & crispy. The service is excellent, they even proposed setting up a background birthday song as we had the birthday cake. Will be recommending this place to friends & family.

Great experience & a MUST in the Montreal food scene especially when it comes to Szechuan food. The staff is welcoming & the food lives up to its reputation. I highly recommend trying Le Piment Rouge, you will not be disappointed.
Everytime I go the food is absolutely fantastic! You can tell it's Fresh & authentic! It's defiently not the typical commercial food this is sooo tasty & different from the rest I highly recommend but Only thing I wish is for it have more ambiance to make it more cozy ...it's a very bright room that's beautifully decorated but lights need to be a little dimmer & maybe music a little higher so that the voices & convos of the guests in room gets simmered down with the music in background It would change the whole ambiance ...
I'd highly recommend people to dine at this restaurant once. I truly love the food here, it's very tasty & the ambience is really cozy. The service is top-notch & a big thanks to Miss Virginia, who is very hospitality & knowledgeable in presenting the origin of every single dish that I ordered. Most importantly, you should try the Hunan wonton with peanut butter sauce. (you won't regret it.) The location is very accessible just 7 minute's walk away from the metro Acadie.
Fabulous dining experience, very informative friendly staff, made you feel at home. The crispy shrimp & sweet potato were a highlight. Hazel, the owner of the old Piment Rouge is back in the restaurant business, with a lot of old favourites, & new ones as well. Nice modern airy decor, & chefs directly from China. Will definitely return. Highly recommended!
Stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant. Food was incredible from start to finish. Had dim sum & the crunchy beef plate with steamed rice & wonton soup. My belly is very happy now. Highly recommended. Service was fantastic as well.

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!
Came here with family for my 21st birthday. They spoke highly of this place, & on first impression, it seemed a little out of place in the neighborhood, & quite different from your typical Chinese restaurant, but our expectations were completely blown away. The food was absolutely incredible, & safe to say it is probably the only real Chinese fine dining restaurant in Greater Montreal. 100% must recommend :)
Had an amazing supper at this beautifully decorated restaurant. Food was amazing, we had crispy coconut shrimp, hot & sour soup, hunan dumplings, crispy fried garlic shrimp, fried squid, general tao & fried rice with Chinese olives. Wow what a supper! Service was as good as the food. I will sure.y be going back soon, lol! Highly recommend.
