M. Poisson se spécialise dans la cuisine authentique du Sichuan, caractérisée par l'utilisation audacieuse de poivres engourdissants et d'huiles de piment vibrantes. Le menu privilégie des préparations de fruits de mer mettant en valeur les textures naturelles des crustacés et des divers filets de poisson. Les clients découvrent des profils aromatiques complexes allant des sauces à l'ail parfumées aux pâtes de fèves fermentées profondément savoureuses. Les techniques de préparation suivent des méthodes régionales traditionnelles axées sur une cuisson au wok à haute température pour conserver l'humidité et préserver l'éclat des légumes. Chaque plat témoigne de la philosophie épicée inhérente aux traditions culinaires classiques du sud-ouest de la Chine. Cet établissement offre un cadre concentré sur le partage et l'appréciation d'une gastronomie régionale robuste. L'approche culinaire évite toute ornementation inutile, laissant la qualité des ingrédients et l'équilibre précis des saveurs occuper le devant de la scène.

Authentic Chinese food! It was delicious, perfectly spicy, & well prepared. I have eaten this dish & similar varieties in China & the US. Properly prepared. Thank you.
Very quick service, fresh food, & easily located in the china town. This place accomodated our big crowd & made it easy for ordering. It has a bathroom located in the basement. There were many items on the menu that were kids favourite. The portion sizes were huge & easily shareable. Take your people & visit this place for the authentic Chinese food.
This is chinatown montreal. The noodle soupe avec Angus beaf at Le Belle Epicee is a fusion delight, with tender meat & flavorful Angus beef with rich, savory Chinese broth & pho noodles, offering a satisfying, hearty bowl with perfectly velveted beef that soaks up the balanced, complex flavors-a must-try here for those seeking asian flavors. The soupe is a little but spicy but just enough for me. The portion is big & can be for sharing. I also ordered citron lemon tea & very refreshing & for me good combo for the signature pho noodles soupe. Price is ranging from 15$ to 25$ per person but again maybe good for sharing. The people there are also accommodating.
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.
I visited this restaurant on a Monday evening because it was one of the few Chinese places without a long wait. I am Chinese myself, though Cantonese, & perhaps that is why the flavors here did not fully match what I was craving. This restaurant serves more Taiwanese style dishes, so the taste is different from the Cantonese food I usually enjoy. We had already eaten pho earlier in the trip & wanted something different, so we decided to give this place a try after reading some reviews.
I ordered the General Tao chicken special for $12.99, which came with two spring rolls, a bowl of rice, & the main dish. Online the photos make the portion look larger, but in reality it was an average serving size that could really only feed one person. The taste was fine but not something I found appealing, & I could not finish it. We also shared the fried tofu appetizer, which came in a small portion with a sauce that was somewhere between sweet & sour. The flavor combination was not what I expected & threw me off.
The Hong Kong style milk tea was a pleasant surprise. At $2.99 it was inexpensive & tasted authentic. The service was also very good. Our waitress was polite, attentive, & very friendly which made the experience more positive. While we were dining, I also noticed a Quebec family come in, look at the menu for a bit, & then leave shortly after. That gave me the impression that perhaps the food style here may not suit everyone's taste.
The total for two people was about $41, which is fair for a sit down dinner. Unfortunately I did not feel well after the meal & went back to my hotel to rest for the night. Overall, I would say this restaurant is decent but not exceptional. The pricing & service were good, but the flavors & portions were not what I hoped for. If you enjoy Taiwanese style cooking, you may appreciate it more, but for me it was simply an average experience.
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.
