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.

Le bouillon a bon goût mais ils servent le poisson Pangasus / Basa à tous leur plats de poissons ! Pour les amateurs de poisson . restaurant à ÉVITER ! En arrivant je demande au serveur quel poissson ils servent , il ne répond pas à ma question se contentant de me dire que c'est dans le menu . Or dans le menu , il n'y aucune inscription sur le poisson servi. Il a fallu que je pose une 2eme fois la question pour qu'il m'indique que c'est du Basa.... Le Basa & le Pangasus , c'est le même poisson . https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1001256/pangasius-poisson-de-la-controverse-agence-inspection-aliments-epicerie Le service est nul. Je me suis demandé si c'est le serveur ou moi qui était vraiment le client. Je ne retournerai pas à ce resto

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.

Fantastic meal! Very authentic - highly recommend the Sauerkraut Fish Stew. Frog legs & clam was also excellent.
