About

Rubis Rouge - Red Ruby Rouge serves a specialized menu centered on traditional Szechuan cooking techniques. Diners encounter a selection of bold, piquant preparations that highlight the iconic numbing spice of peppercorns alongside fresh aromatics. The culinary approach focuses on the authentic interplay of heat and texture inherent to Southwestern Chinese regional styles. Menu offerings include various stir-fried meats, vegetable-forward plates, and complex savory broths seasoned with house-made chili oils. The interior provides a functional, straightforward space designed for focused consumption of these vibrant, heat-forward dishes. This establishment maintains a commitment to consistent flavor profiles by prioritizing classic seasoning methods over modern fusion interpretations. Each dish reflects the foundational principles of Szechuan gastronomy through deliberate spice application and structural balance.

Review Summary

Rubis Rouge - Red Ruby Rouge is a spacious, bustling venue in Montreal known for its traditional Cantonese-style dim sum served via roving carts, making it a popular choice for large groups and communal gatherings. While many diners appreciate the authentic, generous portions and consistent value, experiences regarding food quality and service efficiency vary significantly among patrons. Some guests enjoy the classic atmosphere and find the staff helpful, whereas others report inconsistent seasoning, occasional language barriers, and issues with service speed or professionalism. Although it remains a go-to spot for many regulars, potential visitors should be aware of mixed feedback concerning billing transparency and the varying levels of attentiveness from the staff.

We love an authentic dim sum restaurant where the food is served from trolleys & we've been to Ruby Rouge before, but not for some time.

It's a large, cavern-like place, sparsely decorated but always busy with a good buzz. There's several trolleys roving around serving a good variety of dim sum: steamed, fried, etc. The service is quite surly, but we always got the food we wanted & some of the servers would go off looking in other trolleys if we couldn't see the dish we were after.

The food was ok & tasty - not fine dining. We enjoyed our lunch here.

extremely poor service & poor attitude from waiters, at the cash when you pay & at the reception when you get a number to wait for your table for dim sum... whether this is busy lunch weekend or weekdays. they speak poorly english or french & staff attitude is poor to the point it's almost unacceptable & rude... towards paying customers. food is so so at best & price is not cheap either. so in summary, i do not recommend going here for takeout or to dine-in. & if you bring friends or family here, you will be completely embarrassed because the waiters ignore their customers & almost never check on you to see if you need anything, & yet, they expect a 15-20% tips. crazy sense of entitlement! completely do not recommend this place!

Food is good, but if the place is even slightly busy you will wait a long long time

We were craving dim sum while in Montreal. This restaurant located on the 2nd floor inside a small mall. We were seated quickly & was asked what tea we wanted. Was nice to see push cart ordering here. We ordered five dishes to try. Overall the quality of the dim sum was average. We went on a Friday & it was not too busy so it could explain why some of the dim sum wasn't as fresh. The fried squid was cold & a bit rubbery. The har gow was decent.

Went on a Sunday, usually the most busy day for dim sum. Waited 20 for pot of tea, food carts were very few & far between (I had to get up to look for food with the bill), & when I did finish a dish they were accumulating on my table cause there was no one to take them away. I even had to go get my own hot water to refill my tea pot. Also, if you don't believe in shrinkflation, it's hell of a real thing. All & I mean ALL the food is smaller, but prices are higher. & now they charge .50 for a takeaway box. If you're gonna go that far too Chinatown for Chinese food from the suburbs, might as well drive to the west island & go to imperial right off the 40. Red ruby has changed & not for the better.

Taste wise, its mid-decent. The service however is bad. They are always understaffed, making it impossible to ask for something. Often times, they would forget the stuff we asked for, like extra plates or utensils. I get it, its busy. But it doesn't mean they should expect us to understand them & just stay the same. They should hire more workers so that they can manage the customers that they let in.

The place to go for Dim Sum in China-town! Great dumplings. Delicious sesame balls! Fun, busy atmosphere. Highly recommend!
