Maison du Dumpling is widely celebrated as a cozy and charming hidden gem in Montreal, offering some of the most authentic and delicious handmade dumplings in the city. Visitors frequently praise the fresh ingredients, delicate dough, and generous fillings, with popular choices including the pork, lamb, and a variety of flavorful vegetarian and vegan options. The atmosphere is consistently described as relaxed, intimate, and welcoming, often feeling like a visit to a friend's living room, while the cucumber salad serves as a refreshing staple for many meals. Although the space is small and can occasionally get busy or warm, the combination of high-quality, freshly prepared food and friendly service makes it a standout destination for dumpling enthusiasts looking for a comforting and memorable experience.
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!

Great little restaurant hidden from the busy streets of Montreal. Service was fast & friendly. The lamb coriander dumplings are to die for! The pork, zucchini, & shrimp dumplings were good, too. Check this place out - you won't regret it!!!
Went it for a quick lunch & wow, so delicious & flavorful. If I lived in Montreal, I'd be here on a weekly basis. 🥟 I had the pork dill & chicken coriander… also the chili oil is great!
Good enough for a satisfying fix. The wrapping is not too thick nor too thin & good chewiness. Had the lamb & coriander. Splash of vinegar & you are in business!
Marinated cucumber app is a good way to start your meal. Recommend.
These taste homemade, so do not expect heavily seasonned dumplings from those famous chains.
Price is right & the place is quiet enough to have a hear your table mate. So I will be back for more!
We went for lunch in this little place & it was a very charming experience. As tourists looking to try as many dumplings as places as we could, this was a great spot. The first thing you feel is that you have arrived at a restaurant that is loved by their neighborhood, with a down to earth atmosphere & decoration. The dumplings are freshly made individually at the back of the shop, & you can see them being made. This freshness is noticeable in the food, as you can eat more a lot before feeling full. Really recommend the lamb & coriander dumplings.
I recently tried the cabbage & mushroom dumplings, & they were absolutely delicious! The filling was fresh & well-seasoned, with a perfectly soft wrapper. My friend had the lamb & coriander dumplings & loved the tender lamb paired with the freshness of coriander. To top it off, our server was incredibly kind & attentive, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended!
Do yourself a favour & take that one block turn off St-Laurent Ave & find your way to the Dumpling Hut. Small menu, even smaller floor plan, this tiny place is pumping up killer dumplings. Highly recommended the lamb & coriander, & the egg, tofu & zucchini (pan fried) Tip: check the heat level on the chili oil prior to loading up, it was pretty hot tonight.
