Petit Poisson Dumpling is praised for fresh, handmade dumplings cooked to order in an open kitchen, and for a cozy, intimate setting that draws crowds despite the small space. Diners note a wide variety of dumplings including steamed, fried, and soup dumplings such as xiao long bao, with popular fillings like pork and coriander, beef, shrimp, and vegetarian options, all made fresh before the eyes and often smelling delicious in the air. The experience is often described as quick and friendly service when not overwhelmed, though the place can get busy and seating limited, leading to lines and occasional delays during peak hours. Reviews highlight the aroma, the comforting and authentic flavors, and the overall value, with many calling the dumplings the best in Montreal, and the place a great spot for casual meals, dates, or sharing with friends. Side dishes like kimchi are praised, while cucumber salad and certain salads receive mixed feedback, and some guests wish for easier access to spices such as chili oil. Overall, this is a beloved dumpling destination that delivers consistently tasty dumplings and a warm, welcoming vibe, best experienced by arriving early or being prepared to queue.
The food was very delicious, but the service was quite poor. It took about 15-20 minutes just to place our order, & when it came time to pay, I had to wait standing at the counter for about 10 minutes. Even though it was the weekend & very busy, there were not enough staff members.
Amazing food & a cozy atmosphere! The staff was welcoming, & the menu had a great variety of classic dishes. Every dish we ordered was delicious, & the experience felt just like home-cooked comfort food. Highly recommend!

Wonderful dumplings made right in the restaurants front window. I prefer the soup to the deep fried. One order of dumplings per person is often not enough. Get an app.
Stopped by this dumpling restaurant after a long day, & it was the perfect way to unwind. The dumplings were incredibly fresh & flavorful, & the broth was rich & comforting. The service was excellent, & the atmosphere was warm & inviting. The staff made us feel so welcome. Definitely adding this to my list of favorite spots for dumplings !
