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!

If you're looking for a restaurant in Montreal that truly surprises you-in the best way possible-Restaurant Chouchou is one you don't want to miss.

This fairly new restaurant has such a charming & inviting atmosphere-warm, stylish, & thoughtfully put together. The service throughout was excellent: attentive, welcoming, & perfectly paced without ever feeling rushed.

We began with the Mimosa Egg & the Peking duck sandwich. The egg was beautifully prepared-light, creamy, & incredibly refined. The duck sandwich, however, completely stole the spotlight. The duck was tender & rich with a perfect balance of flavors, & my husband hasn't stopped talking about it since.

We also had the Chicken salad, Tofu tartare, & the Scallops. The chicken was unbelievably tender-truly melt-in-your-mouth-& paired with fresh, vibrant ingredients. The tofu tartare was a pleasant surprise-fresh, delicate, & thoughtfully seasoned, offering a lighter yet equally satisfying contrast to the other dishes. The scallops were outstanding: perfectly prepared & paired with coconut to create a dish that was both delicate & bursting with flavor.

We then tried the Salmon & the Squash Ravioli with peanut sauce, & both were equally impressive. The salmon was cooked flawlessly-moist, flaky, & full of clean flavor. The squash ravioli was a standout for its creativity, combining sweet & nutty notes in a way that felt both comforting & elevated.

What made the experience even more special is how memorable it was-we spoke about the meal the entire way home & have since recommended it to many friends. My husband, who rarely comments on restaurants, has been telling everyone about this place.

Chouchou is absolutely worth a visit. We will definitely be returning.

One small note-since it was our first visit, we were excited to try a variety of dishes, which meant the table felt a bit tight once the plates arrived along with our drinks. Also, parking in the area can be a bit challenging, so it's worth planning ahead.
