Rizière is described as a cozy, stylish, and friendly spot in Montreal offering authentic and inventive Chinese cuisine, with beef noodles, salmon, and dumplings among standout dishes. Noodles are praised for their chewy texture and bold flavors, dumplings are plentiful and delicious, and sides like tofu skins and spring rolls are noted for their freshness. The service is consistently warm and attentive in a calm, welcoming atmosphere, and portions and prices are regarded as good value. Some reviewers mention that a few dishes can be salty or oily, and the dining room can feel chilly in winter, but these notes are outweighed by the overall positive impressions. Overall, Rizière is seen as a hidden gem and a must-visit in the city, with many looking forward to returning and recommending the place to friends.
Came to Montreal for our honeymoon, & randomly had a chance to visit this restaurant. I must first recommend the place for its petit environment with friendly & efficient staff.
I am always a laksa lover, the laksa is great for its broth, & is marvelous for the rice noodle option they had-Thin, chewy, & immersed well in the soup.
For tan tan noodles (or dan dan noodles, whichever you translate), it is considered the best of North America so far based on my wife's opinion (for these 8 years). The proportion is also fair for a single order.
Still, we two skipped lunch, so we ordered the beef noodle soup to wrap up the experience. For how chewy & juicy the beef chunks are, it worth a 5-star itself. The soup is kind of a blend of Taiwanese & some southern Chinese style, which satisfied both our taste buds.
As a result, I am adding another 5 star review to the 600+ others, the place is worth it, & quite a hidden gem in the city. Bon appetit 😋
Great neighbourhood gem. I went for takeout on a rainy Friday night. Had the Szechuan dumplings & the beef laksa with thin noodles. Amazing. Spicy. Comforting. I'm so satisfied & I will definitely go back & bring friends & family.
Loved this place. We had wonderful chili & sour soup & Sichuan style dumplings to start, then tasty tofu Laksa & flavorful braised beef noodle soup. Also, an amazing value & very friendly service. 5 stars.
C'était un véritable délice ! Nous avons pris trois entrées : une soupe aigre-douce, un trio de tofu & des dumplings au boeuf. Ensuite, nous avons dégusté trois plats principaux : une soupe de boeuf braisé aux nouilles, une soupe Laksa au poulet & nouilles de riz avec du lait de coco, & pour finir, un plat de saumon frais flambé, un véritable plaisir pour les yeux en cette soirée de réveillon. Tout était vraiment très bon, voire délicieux. Le menu n'est pas surchargé de propositions, ce qui, à mon avis, garantit la fraîcheur des produits & permet au chef de maîtriser parfaitement ses plats, servis rapidement. N'hésitez surtout pas à essayer ce petit restaurant, qui offre une décoration agréable & une propreté irréprochable, une qualité malheureusement rare à Montréal.
Absolutely incredible food!! Got the torched salmon, laksa & chow mein. The service was great & atmosphere divine. I can't say anything other than you have to visit this beautifully ran restaurant.
Incredibly amazing laksa & pork dumplings 🥟 it was a delivery but still delish & warm. We visited the restaurant for a lunch as well & the food was amazing as well. A hidden underrated gem!💎

Très très bon , meilleurs dumplings de Montréal & le Laksa est incroyable 🤩 merci , à bientôt ! Mention spéciale pour la serveuse sympathique & professionnelle
Small quaint restaurant with no frills. Sechuan dumplings were 10/10, the laksa I'd say 9/10. Next time more dumplings 😍 my mom got the braised salmon & it was insane. 👌👌
Food: I’ve been craving laksa & the one they make here definitely hit the spot! The broth was flavourful & the chicken was tender. I only wish they added more toppings like fish cakes & tofu puffs.
Entry: We were two on a Saturday night & we were lucky, only had to wait 5-10 minutes to get a table.
Note: Another customer ordered a scorched salmon dish & they flame the dish in front of you. Definitely want to try that next.
