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.

Impossible de commander sans un cellulaire...& encore, leur application fonctionne mal. Nous avons entendu 40 minutes & les deux tables avant nous n'avaient pas été encore totalement servies alors que c'est l'heure du dîner & le restaurant n'est même pas plein...Seulement 2 employés pour la salle à manger plus le comptoir de thés, franchement...

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.
