Rubis Rouge - Red Ruby Rouge serves classic dim sum with cart service and a range of authentic Cantonese dishes that many reviewers find fresh and flavorful, with generous portions and good value for the price, and the atmosphere is described as spacious and family friendly.

Overall, Rubis Rouge - Red Ruby Rouge is seen as a popular Montreal option for dim sum, offering solid flavors and value for many, but not without notable inconsistencies.
I went to the Ruby Rouge for dim sum today around noon & we were three. The resto was about 75% full & we were seated quickly upon arrival. The resto didn't look modern but was still nice with its nostalgic warm old school Chinese decor. Our waitress was quick & friendly. The food was fresh, hot & good. However, even though the restaurant wasn't full there were no more food carts passing by us anymore after only two passed by. We waited about 20 minutes without food & decided to leave after looking everywhere & saw there was no one pushing any dim sum carts in the whole very big restaurant. We weren't the only ones waiting for food. They looked understaffed with their waiters & waitresses running around & no one pushing the dim sum carts at some point, I've never seen that before anywhere. I wouldn't go back there if I were starving but would go back with friends to catch up & take our time to eat & chat because the food & service were good & it's a nice place but the waiting was also very long to the point we left still hungry.
Authentic Dim sum cart service in a banquet hall style place. You can order a la carte earlier & the carts come around about 10:30. It was authentic & everything we had was tasty. Service was fine. They asked if we wanted things earlier for the kids we had with us before the carts came around. Enjoyed the experience & would come back!
Super repas avec mes amis! La nourriture excellente! Mon amie en a profiter pour profiter son mandarin mais je ne sais pas si leur niveau d'anglais est elever mais ils ont des solutions! Une expérience très agréable!

j'aimerais mettre une bonne note car il s'agit visiblement d'un commerce familiale & local mais hélàs surtout comparé à d'autres commerces du quartier chinoise il ne fait pas le poids. Le point positif si on veut c'est qu'il y a beaucoup de plats très spécifique à la culture chinoise / asiatique, le genre de plat clairement pas américanisé donc l'expérience m'a paru très authentique. Ceci dit je dois dire que ce n'est pas pour tous & il vaut mieux s'assurer que le menu corresponde à ce que l'on cherche En revanche, il semblerait qu'a certains moment de la journée ce ne soit pas un dim sum comme annoncé, les plats ne sont pas vraiment chauds & aucun plat ne m'a particulièrement marqué contrairement à d'autres commerces du même quartier pour un prix similaire
For $7 for lunch box takeouts, the food is tasty, filling, & very cheap. There is nothing to complaint about for the price. Will always come here as long as I am around.
It's a shame the service is really bad the food was excellent..., the attitude of the waiter was REALLY unacceptable, sigh of exasperation, no smile, in a hurry (for what? I don't know, only two table to serve ...) very impatient when we ask questions about the menu ... Throwing plate & cups when preparing other table ... Having to serve water for the kids was almost an insult to him ... First time in my entire life I had to endure this .... Fortunately at one point a waitress replaced him ... Don't know if I'll even take other chance.
Je viens de manger à ce restaurant & tout est bon ! Plus de 200 plats, hâte d'y refaire un tour, je recommande vivement d'y aller ! En plus, la quantité est énorme, de quoi manger pendant 3 jours 😁
Come to this place is all about food. I order BBQ pork Bento box for take out. It is only cost 7$. Seriously, I am wondering how they can make profit. The portion is huge ( especially the rice). I won't be too picky on the quality of the char Siu for this price. It is certainly decent. & it is better than any McDo. But ya, the ambient is very old & the service is soso

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.
Off the beaten path but totally worth it! Don't listen to the negative reviews. The food is so good, & highly recommend dim sum. Servers are not going to check on you like how you might be used to in our western culture, just raise your hand & get their attention & you'll be just fine! Only thing to watch out for is ordering too much food, it's so easy to do when you're hungry & portions here are really big!
