The best dumpling we've found in Montreal, & it's 5mns from home !
The taste is amazing, dumpling are freshly made & the prices are very competitive.
The restaurant room is cozy (pretty small so get there early!) & the service is friendly, professional & on point !
The only thing is that it can be noisy sometimes, but that's definitely not a deal breaker!
We're from Arepera du Plateau, & we're so lucky to have The Dumpling Hut as our neighbors! Their food is fresh, flavorful, & always delicious - everything on the menu is excellent. The dumplings are perfect, the service is super friendly, & the team is always welcoming. Wonderful people & amazing food right next to us! 🥟
The Dumpling Hut is a small, cosy spot with a warm, homey feel, the kind of hidden gem you might walk past if you don't look closely. The entrance is tucked in, & inside you'll find a wall covered in handwritten Post-it notes that adds a lot of charm & personality.
The dumplings are fresh & clearly made with care, & you can watch the prep happen behind the counter. We shared a mix: chicken & mushroom, lamb & coriander, cabbage & mushroom & seaweed & cucumber salad. Everything was satisfying & well-balanced, nothing too oily or heavy. The chicken & mushroom stood out, & the cucumber salad on the side was a refreshing touch.
Service is quick & friendly. The space is simple & unpretentious, but the food more than makes up for it.
Tips:
Go with two or three people so you can try more dishes without waiting long.
Order a mix of steamed & fried dumplings, depending on what's fresh that day.
Expect a short wait at peak times.
A relaxed, local spot for handmade dumplings that feel home-cooked & comforting. I'd go back for sure.
Staff was very kind & helpful. We ordered the pork/chive & lamb/coriander, both regular, plus seaweed salad. Plenty of food for two adults & two kids with a few dumplings for later. The seaweed salad was delicious. The dumplings, fresh & amazing. My favorite, the lamb. The kids, the pork. Would eat there again & order the same!
Transcendent flavours. Ethereal vibes. These may sound like inflated superlatives, but I assure you they are not. I've recommended this place to at least ten friends & family members & they've all also loved it. The menu is succinct, the dumplings are succulent, & the salads are fresh...what more could you ask for in a dumpling joint?!
