Overall, reviews describe M. Poisson as offering tasty, fresh Chinese dishes with a large, shareable menu and generous portions, including soups, noodles, and spicy Sichuan favorites, at affordable prices; the food is praised for bold flavors and comfort, with many dishes arriving hot and quickly and the staff often described as friendly and accommodating in a clean, easy to find setting; a few notes mention occasional slower service, variability in portion sizes or heat levels, but the overall impression is a reliable, value friendly spot for casual dining.
This is my absolute most favourite restaurant in mtl. Szechuan Fish stew is hard to come by in montreal. They do it perfectly. Portions are good. Price is good. Always impressed everytime i come. Highly recommend!!!!
I received excellent service. The app for ordering takeout is very easy to use. The staff are friendly; they offered me a glass of iced tea while I waited for my order. I recommend this restaurant. The food is well-packaged to prevent damage.

I will never come to this restaurant never
I don't recommend any body to come
U will wait more than 30mnts for nothing.
Highly recommend this place! The taro milk tea is rich, smooth, & perfectly sweet - definitely one of the best I've had.
The food is amazing too. The sour soup fish is flavorful & comforting, the pickled long bean fried rice is fragrant & well-seasoned, & the sizzling squid tentacles are tender with great smoky flavor.
Everything tasted fresh & well made. Will definitely come back again!
La Belle Épicée absolutely deserves five stars. The prices here are very affordable which makes it a great spot to enjoy with friends or family. Right next door is Fang Tea, & together they even offer combo specials for about $50 for two people, which is such a good deal & honestly hard to beat in Montreal.
The food itself was delicious, well prepared, & came out quickly. Everything tasted fresh & comforting, & the portions were generous for the price. It really felt like good value without sacrificing quality.
The service also stood out. The waitress who helped us was not only very beautiful but also incredibly kind & attentive. Even though I only know limited French since I am from Ontario, I was able to speak Mandarin & that worked out perfectly fine. She made me feel comfortable & welcomed, which I really appreciated.
Overall, La Belle Épicée offers a mix of affordability, good food, & warm hospitality. Whether you are a local or a visitor, this is the kind of spot that makes you feel at home while also giving you a taste of authentic flavors. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a casual yet memorable dining experience in Montreal.
I highly recommend this restaurant-not just for the authentic Chinese food, but also for the exceptional service. A special thanks to the young intern who ran out to return my cellphone after I accidentally left it on the table. By the way, if you order food here, you can get milk tea for just $2.99-definitely a must-have! I wish this restaurant great success & will absolutely come back on my next vacation in Montreal.
Craving for spicy food & this place certainly helped! We came here twice in this trip, no need to wait , quick service. The food & menu is adapted to European western style but the level of spiciness in the spice dishes is still intense. Decent price, definately recommend for those want quick fix for a taste of chinese spicy food.

The'original' (highest spice) soup base is authentic & delicious. We have some doubts about other items on the menu, since the one less authentic addition (the sliced beef) doesn't quite fit with the flavor profile- but we would definitely recommend the noodle soup with the original broth + fish for an easy & satisfying meal. For reference, the bowl pictured easily serves two
Great spot to try if you love chinese food, especially if it's your first timer in Chinatown. Fast & friendly service!
I totally fell in love with this restaurant & I totally recommend to everyone!
Food is great : noodle, rice, appetizers, stir fry & grilled basa fish.
I recommend :
- grilled basa fish : so crispy, so flavorful , just the right amount of spices. There are no bones & it's a great dish to share.
- Lunch menu special : for only 9.99$, you get a soup base, noodles & protein, all customizable!
- Fried pork bites & if you are feeling adventurous, whole squid skewers.
- Legit any drinks. I had the mango sago, strawberry smoothie, brown sugar coconut milk taro & the Hong Kong milk tea & they were all amazing.
I can make szechuan spicy fish at home myself, but oh boy do I still come to this place, they are on a whole other level. I cannot recommend this place enough.
