I entered with skepticism after browsing the menu, curious, almost unconvinced that elevated French methods would work on traditional Chinese flavors. Yet I left, with positive sentiment, about what I just consumed. It was familiar but different, creative & stunning, a unique dining experience. It was a fine dining adventure that offered value & one of a kind menu, in a culinary city where one thinks they have seen it all.

Personal highlights include the miso tea egg flavored with black bean dace (that traditional oval can found in Chinese grocery stores) & the Pekin duck bun. One minor comment or a one-off, I wish the ravioli was served a bit hotter, but perhaps there was a purpose for it being warm.

Everything is made in-house, you can taste the quality & care. I recommend to all to at least give this newcomer a try & see for yourself. The menu DOES work!

Honestly, if you see this review, just take it as a sign & go try this place. I'm so happy to see Montreal nurture a restaurant with such a beautiful modern French-Chinese identity.

The atmosphere is so charming,
Their logo makes me believe there's a talented little mouse in the kitchen coming up with all these brilliant recipe ideas.

The appetizers & cocktails were absolutely impressive. I especially like the coconut scallops!

I tried the entire menu, & the appetizers were a total standout-the Scallion Focaccia is a must-try. The Urumqi Chicken Salad was incredibly fragrant with its Sichuan peppercorn oil, & you can tell the chicken was marinated overnight; it was exceptionally velvety & flavorful. Another genius pairing was the Char Siu Pork Neck with the burnt onion sauce; the smoky, charred notes were an unexpected but perfect match. Osmanthus providing a sophisticated sweetness that pairs beautifully with the pear. E very dish shows a deep, authentic understanding of Chinese seasoning. Highly recommended!
