Review Summary

Petit Poisson Dumpling is widely celebrated for its authentic, handcrafted dumplings, particularly the soup dumplings which are frequently described as the best in Montreal. Visitors often highlight the fresh ingredients, juicy fillings, and the unique experience of watching the staff prepare the food in an open kitchen. The restaurant is praised for its stylish, cozy, and vibrant atmosphere that makes dining feel like a special occasion. While the small space can lead to wait times during peak hours and some diners noted occasional lapses in service coordination or language barriers, the high quality of the food and the friendly, efficient staff generally result in a highly satisfying and memorable experience.

I absolutely recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a cozy spot in the city! If you are a fan of authentic Shanghainese dim sum, the sweet meat xiao long bao here is a total game-changer. Each dumpling is expertly pleated with a thin, delicate skin that holds a surprising amount of rich, savory, & incredibly juicy soup inside. One bite, & you get that perfect explosion of flavor that defines a top-tier soup dumpling. Beyond the food, the interior decoration is truly one-of-a-kind. It's not your typical cookie-cutter restaurant; it has a distinctive character & a creative flair that makes the entire dining experience feel special. The lighting is warm & the layout creates an incredibly comfortable atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this small shop offers a level of quality & coziness that is hard to find elsewhere. I've been thinking about that broth ever since I left, & I'll definitely be coming back for my dumpling fix very soon

Cozy restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere!
The fried beef & onion dumplings were really tasty, crispy on the outside & juicy inside. Portions were decent & nicely presented. Service was friendly & efficient. I'd definitely come back for the dumplings !

Tasty vegan dumplings! No vegan soup dumpling options but I expected that; the vegan option is a regular dumpling (steamed or fried) with cabbage, tofu & mushroom. It is on a blander side which is why I gave it 4 stars. But a good veggie option if you're in the mood for dumplings & are in the area.

Inside is small & cozy but super welcoming at the same time. Staff are quick & lovely.

Yum yum! Small place (let's call it cozy) but well worth the wait. Sometimes shared tables- make a friend! Food was super good. Being Chinese, we have high standards. This fit into the good category. I would return for comfort food in Montréal again.

Nice cozy restaurant. Service was great & food was amazing!! While waiting to be seated the smells so delicious. Pro tip Dumplings take time to prepare, so I'd recommend ordering an appetizer before that.

Really enjoyed this Chinese restaurant! I ordered the shrimp & coriander frozen dumplings, & they were surprisingly delicious-fresh-tasting, well-seasoned, & cooked perfectly. The flavors were bright, & the dumplings had a great bite. Friendly service & a simple, cozy vibe. Definitely worth trying if you love good dumplings !
