Rizière receives praise for a menu that blends authentic Cantonese and Szechuan flavors with creative twists, featuring dumplings, beef noodle soup, spicy noodles, and salmon dishes alongside rice and noodle bowls that are worth trying; guests note generous portions, reasonable prices, and friendly, attentive service in a clean, cozy space, making it a reliable pick for gatherings, dates, or casual meals; many reviews call it a hidden gem and a must visit in Montreal, while a few dishes are described as a touch salty or oily and a winter visit in January was uncomfortably cold, yet the overall sentiment is enthusiastic and many say they would return and recommend Rizière to friends and family.
Tried noodles here when traveling to Montreal, wow the flavor is sooo good, I had to order a second noodle dish after the first tomato beef topping noodle impressed me. I think it is one of best Chinese noodles I had in North America.

Walking into Rizière in Montreal is always a treat for the senses. The bustling atmosphere, combined with the savoury aromas wafting from the kitchen, immediately sets the stage for an authentic experience. I recently tried their spicy beef with rice & it was absolutely exquisite. The Dumplings were perfectly prepared crisp on the outside, tender & flavourful inside. The service was prompt, friendly, & attentive, ensuring our tea cups were never empty. If you are looking for top-notch Cantonese cuisine (or Szechuan, depending on the restaurant), this is easily one of the best spots in the city. A must-visit for any serious food lover!
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 😋
My first time going here & not ordering dumplings! I'm so glad we decided to try the dandan noodles & the black bean saucy noodles. Both were so delicious, the noodles had the perfect chew, & everything was really flavourful. The dandan noodles were a bit different than at most places I've tried (a bit more of a creamy broth at the bottom- delicious!) but I loved them anyway.
Honnêtement exceptionnel. C'est notre rituel immanquable chaque fois qu'on est à Montreal, on se trouve même parfois des excuses pour se rendre dans la grandville (on est près de Sherbrooke) & manger à la Rizière.
Il m'est arrivé de faire un rêve légèrement érotique centré autour de leurs dumplings.
C'est rendu difficile d'apprécier des rouleaux impériaux avec les leurs comme comparatif.
Si je n'étais pas moralement en désaccord avec les services de livraison de nourriture, la Rizière aurait certainement ruiné mes économies.
Merci au gens derrière cet endroit, grâce à vous Montréal est devenu pour nous'observer le flot humain de Mont-Royal piéton en sirotant un exceptionnel thé glacé maison.'
100% recommend to my brother, mother, grandmother, grandchildren, personal reincarnation.
Accueil chaleureux, des plats succulents & une ambiance calme & détendue. Un agréable moment. On reviendra manger lors de notre prochain passage à Montréal, car pleins de bonnes recettes à découvrir 😃. Merci.
Venu pour la première ici en 2021, retour en 2025 les saveurs sont toujours incroyables, tout le monde est vraiment gentil & pour les amoureux du piments vous ne serez pas déçu avec le boeuf!
