Really cozy & charming spot near mount royal. I discovered this place accidentally because there very little advertising. It looks like an apartment but actually a cozy restaurant. Small & quiet place with great food. The menu is nice, service is great. We had 2 plates. One steamed & one fried. The friend dumplings were better. We will be back for sure.

The dumplings here are genuinely amazing, some of the best I've tried in the city! The restaurant is also very cute & cozy. The service was great too, I dropped a dumpling & the server immediately replaced it with a singular dumpling
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!
A hidden dumpling paradise in Montreal that feels like someone's cozy living room!
The Dumpling Hut in Montreal truly feels like you've stepped into someone's house & magically been handed a plate of some of the best dumplings in Canada. The space is small, warm, & full of charm. It is nothing fancy but has that relaxed & welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay forever. It honestly feels like a secret spot that only locals know about & part of me wanted to keep it that way.
The service was lovely. The staff was kind, calm, & made you feel at home right away. The menu is clear & available in both English & French. The selection of dumpling fillings is surprisingly big with both classic options & some creative ones for the adventurous.
Every dumpling we had was juicy, well-seasoned, & perfectly cooked. Whether boiled or fried, they were absolutely delicious. The dipping sauce? A quiet masterpiece.
The only thing I didn't love was the toilet. It's there & it works but that's about all I can say. Still, when the food is this good, you just laugh it off.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Montreal. Come hungry, bring a friend, & maybe use the restroom somewhere else beforehand.

Ein verstecktes Dumpling-Paradies mitten in Montreal, das sich anfühlt wie ein gemütliches Wohnzimmer
The Dumpling Hut in Montreal fühlt sich an, als würde man versehentlich in jemandes Wohnzimmer stolpern und dann völlig überraschend einen Teller mit einigen der besten Dumplings in ganz Kanada bekommen. Der Laden ist klein, gemütlich und total einladend. Es ist nichts Schickes, aber man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Ganz ehrlich, es fühlt sich an wie ein Geheimtipp, den nur Einheimische kennen, und ein kleiner Teil von mir möchte, dass das auch so bleibt.
Der Service war wunderbar. Die Mitarbeitenden waren freundlich, entspannt und man hatte sofort das Gefühl, willkommen zu sein. Die Speisekarte ist übersichtlich und auf Englisch und Französisch verfügbar. Die Auswahl an Füllungen ist groß mit klassischen Varianten genauso wie kreativeren, für die etwas Mutigeren.
Jeder Dumpling war saftig, gut gewürzt und auf den Punkt gegart. Egal ob gekocht oder gebraten, sie waren durchweg lecker. Und die Sojasauce dazu war richtig gut abgestimmt.
Einziger Minuspunkt: die Toilette. Sie ist da, sie funktioniert, mehr aber auch nicht. Doch ganz ehrlich, bei so gutem Essen nimmt man das mit einem Lächeln in Kauf.
Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die in Montreal unterwegs sind. Kommt mit Hunger, bringt am besten noch jemanden mit und nutzt vielleicht vorher noch woanders die Toilette.
