About

M. Poisson specializes in authentic Szechuan cuisine characterized by the bold use of numbing peppercorns and vibrant chili oils. The menu prioritizes fresh seafood preparations that highlight the natural textures of shellfish and various fish fillets. Patrons find complex flavor profiles ranging from aromatic garlic sauces to deeply savory fermented bean pastes. The preparation techniques adhere to traditional regional methods that emphasize high heat wok cooking to seal in moisture and preserve vibrant vegetable colors. Every dish serves as a testament to the spice-forward philosophy inherent in classic southwestern Chinese cooking traditions. This establishment provides a focused environment centered on communal sharing and the appreciation of robust regional gastronomy. The culinary approach avoids unnecessary ornamentation, allowing the quality of ingredients and the precise balancing of heat and umami to remain the primary focus.

Absolutely loved the food at La Belle Épicée in Chinatown, Montreal!
We originally wanted to try their pork dish, but it wasn't available, so we went with the signature chili oil Szechuan chicken instead-& we thoroughly enjoyed it! The flavors were bold, spicy, & incredibly satisfying. Will definitely be back to if we happen to be at Montreal !

been meaning to try this place for a while now & it did not disappoint. the house sauerkraut fish stew is so comforting with the super tender fish & flavourful soup. crispy pork is also well seasoned & very crispy (& honestly amazing portion for $10). love the sauce for the chicken & clam stir fry (ps the chicken comes with the bones for those who dont like that). the squid skewers are also good. was $80 total for everything so honestly very worth. could easily do $20 per person here

Disappointing. Food tastes old & overcooked. The chicken was so hard I couldn’t finish it. Definitely not living up to the reviews

Sadly not great. I've only tried it once but their broth & spice usage is weak. The broth for the gain stew tastes like mediocre canned chicken broth with a lot of gelatin or starch added to give body. However, there is little flavor. The la dominates while there is little ma, which means there's a decent amount of spice but very little numbing flavor, or any other spice or herb flavor. Additionally, the portions are extremely small, making this place very expensive. Aunt Dai's is a way better option for this cuisine, at least as of a few years ago. To give you a concrete idea, the bowls are only slightly larger than a standard western cereal bowl. They are not family style portions.
