I had to update my review after recent changes.

I have been coming here for the last 5 years for their incredible specialty fish stew. It was the centerpiece of the menu, but they recently changed it, & now it is hidden among other options & tastes substantially worse

It's like half the flavor was removed & replaced with cheap chicken stock, the flavor clash it jarring

I hope they bring the old recipe back

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!!!!

Fish stew was really good! Soft poached fish & you can also add other toppings as well. It's really not spicy at all. The fermented cabbages just add the right flavor to the dish. Really a good comfort food! Also I forgot the take the picture but their crispy pork was so so so good as well!

Today, being sick, I decided to order something on Uber Eats from a Szechuan Cuisine to help ease my cold. I'm glad I decided on La Belle Épicée. I ordered an extra Spicy Sauerkraut Beef Brisket Slice Stew & a side of vegetable spring rolls.
The stew was generous in portion & very flavourful. It was spicy but not to the point it would make your buds burn. It had a good portion of meat brisket as well. I could literally feel my throat pain calming down as I was eating it.
The spring rolls had a tasty filling albeit a tad oily.
I look forward to ordering more from this restaurant.

This place is GOOOOD! I had the spicy pork stew & it was Very Spicy!! A very large serving too. Super-delicious!

They also have lots of non-spicy foods for kids & anyone else. A great place to go with anyone because there are tame options for people who don't want anything strange, & lots of unusual options for people who want to try foods you would not find in common Chinese restaurants. Lots of interesting fish options especially. Also great service, great vibe, & great sweet tea options.

Cute place tucked away behind a bubble tea shop.
The sauerkraut fish stew was amazing. The fish was tender & super flavourful.
The sweet & sour cabbage was probably the best I've ever had.
Can't wait to come back & try the grilled fish!

We found Mr. Fish on a recent trip to Montréal. Typical us, we travel to a new foreign city & immediately look to explore their Chinatown 😂. If I lived in Montréal, I could definitely see Mr. Fish becoming one of our go to staple restaurants. The space is small yet inviting & shares a building with a boba shop which we ordered while we ate. We knew we had a long day of traveling & exploring other restaurants so we wanted to keep our order light & decided to go with their signature sauerkraut fish stew with a side of shredded potatoes & smashed cucumbers. When the fish stew arrived the presentation was so charming & reminded us of eating in Taiwan. The rice they served was a heaping delicious mound & went perfectly with the spicy, sour & delicious soup. Service was kind & present, but not too overbearing. Much appreciated 🤙🏼. Definitely worth a visit!

Wifey wanted some Asian food so I searched Chinatown. Out of 3 restaurants, she picked this one. She was concerned if we would be able to get a table on a Sunday night, but that was not an issue. It wasn't very busy. The restaurant did not have a lot of dining tables either & it's connected to Yi Fang drinks. She had her eyes set on sauerkraut fish stew as that's their specialty. We picked the house special one & had it at regular spicy level. The server said you could increase the spiciness but can't really lower it much. We stuck with the regular spiciness. It was still kind of burning as we mildly suffered & enjoyed the dish. We only had one bowl of rice & shared it, but it was a big heaping bowl so it was enough. Probably would have been less spice burning if we had more rice. lol We also got a grilled squid skewer. It wasn't much to write home about, but it was okay. That's all we got because I had planned on going to another place for dinner #2. We would go back for the sauerkraut fish stew again so 4 stars!

Their fish stew is excellent. I got the one with Sichuan peppers & pickled veggies. I came here twice while I was in Montréal for a few days, & I think that says a lot.

I didn't expect the tomato fish stew to be this good. It's sooo good with rice :)
