Le Piment Rouge est perçu comme l'une des meilleures adresses chinoises de Montréal, avec une cuisine Sichuan authentique, des plats savoureux et des portions généreuses dans un cadre élégant et chaleureux et un service attentif et professionnel qui met les clients à l'aise, même en groupe. Si l'ensemble des avis souligne la qualité et la constance, certains bémols apparaissent comme des prix relativement élevés, des portions parfois plus petites que prévu et des plats qui peuvent décevoir si l'authenticité n'est pas au rendez-vous, notamment pour le canard laqué et certaines sauces. D'autres commentaires mettent en avant la variété du menu, la fraîcheur des ingrédients et l'équilibre des assaisonnements, ainsi que l'organisation du service et la volonté du personnel de proposer des portions plus petites pour limiter le gaspillage lorsque la table est nombreuse. Plusieurs convives recommandent de réserver et de tester les plats du menu spécial, certains éléments étant soulignés pour leur originalité et leur finesse, et tous retiennent l'ambiance accueillante, le décor soigné et la propreté exemplaire ainsi que la gestion des grands groupes, ce qui en fait une adresse prisée pour repas en famille ou occasions festives. Dans l'ensemble, Le Piment Rouge ressort comme une expérience culinaire de haut niveau, authentique et souvent remarquable, avec des notes positives sur la fraîcheur des ingrédients et la qualité des sauces malgré quelques critiques mineures et le prix.
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.
What a great surprise! The quality of the food is excellent... & the service is outstanding. We were genuinely surprised at how good it all was with each plate that came out. The general tao is the best I've ever had... the shrimp is amazing & the dessert is beautiful.. everything was delicious. A must try spot for anyone looking for quality Chinese food.
Amazing food & amazing service ! The shrimp with sweet potato is a must. Crispy beef & dumplings were excellent. My wife loved the won ton soup, me me it was ok. All in all we had a great meal & will definitely be going back . Only reason I removed 1 star was due to fact they have their minimum tip set at 18% on machine. I was already going to leave 18% since service was excellent but you shouldn't force it on your clients. Your clients should be ones deciding how much they wanna tip & minim should always be 15%, anything above should be at discretion of your client who is the one paying & judging service they got.
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!
