Overall, reviews describe Le Piment Rouge as a stylish, high-end Chinese restaurant with generally strong flavors and attentive service, though experiences vary by dish and some criticisms surface about temperature, portion size, and value for money. Several dishes are singled out as excellent, especially wok and Sichuan specialties, while some meals arrive tepid, portions feel small, or sauces seem heavy or overly priced. The service is often described as professional and friendly, with staff praised for attentiveness, though language barriers or uneven communication can slow visits. Many readers say they would return to explore more of the menu, while others decide not to revisit due to inconsistency or cost.
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.

Obsessed with this Mango Passion Fruit sparkler! 🥭✨ The tropical vibes are real-so crisp, refreshing, & bursting with fresh fruit flavor. It's the ultimate thirst-quencher for a sunny day. 10/10! 🍹

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.

Nous avons goûté plusieurs plats du nouveau menu & c'était un vrai régal ! Les saveurs étaient fraîches & bien équilibrées, & le service était impeccable. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !
One of the few high-end Chinese restaurants in Montreal! The food is authentic Szechuan, so be prepared for spicy food if you order from the special menu (it's worth it). I highly suggest reserving & pre-ordering the Peking duck, lobster, or Vancouver crab. Unlike many Chinese restaurants, service is excellent here. The free parking after 5 is also appreciated. Decor is casual-chic. & also unlike other Chinese restaurants, the place is spotlessly clean. I'm so glad Piment Rouge is back. It's a great place for a casual meal or a big celebration. Cheers to the Ma family!
Notre visite faisait suite à un article de LaPresse qui relatait que ce nouveau restaurant était tenu par les petits enfants des propriétaires du populaire & très bon'Piment rouge' du centre-ville dans le temps.
L'aménagement plus restreint est moderne & agréable avec ses grandes fenêtres donnant sur 2 rues.
Le menu aussi plus court est typique de la cuisine du Sichuan
& offre des spécialités intéressantes dont les'boules aux crevettes & gingembre' & les' dumplings frits'. Pour d'autres, avec boeuf ou pétoncle, les trop généreuses sauces épaisses & plutôt sucrées vous font regretter vos choix & la cuisine du'Piment rouge' du temps.
Pour le service, petit bémol mais probablement dû à la présence d'une table d'une quinzaine d'hommes d'affaires chinois qui célébraient joyeusement avec verres de vin à répétition en les buvant d'un seul trait'à la chinoise' . La jeune serveuse en ce mardi soir ne fournissait pas avec son inexpérience malgré sa gentillesse.
Une prochaine visite, plutôt incertaine pour nous !

Ce restaurant est une vrai merveille! Nous sommes allés dîner & avons reçu un accueil chaleureux. Le service, explications & suggestions de Virginia, notre serveuse, étaient exceptionnels. La nourriture est délicieuse & le décor très joli! Je le recommande fortement!
La magie est toujours là! Quand il était situé sur Peel, le Piment Rouge était mon restaurant préféré. J'étais désolé quand il a disparu. C'est avec surprise & bonheur que j'ai pris connaissance de sa résurrection sur l'avenue Beaumont. Nourriture exceptionnelle & service stylé & attentionné: tout y est.
First time there. Suggested by a friend. Excellent choice & quality. Every bite was delicious. Staff was receptive & helpful. Will go again. Is now one of my top Chinese restaurants to eat at.
