Montreal restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Place-dArmes Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

Went recently for a late-night meal and had some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in a long time. The staff were very attentive to my party’s shellfish allergy, which we really appreciated. They also had a great selection of vegetarian dishes—the General Tso tofu was absolutely incredible! I’ll definitely be back.

Don’t let the 4 stars fool you, this place deserves 5 stars. Truly so authentic, one of the best comfort Chinese food places in Montreal. The cooks in the back have been perfecting the food for decades, the service is warm and super quick, and the huge menu variety doesn’t deplete the high quality of every dish. Excellent food, paired with truly exceptional service.

Exactly what we wanted during our layover in Montreal. The food was delicious and full of flavors. And came out so quick! Would recommend to anyone craving some good quality Chinese food and short on time!

Great spot. Got the hot and sour soup, 1/4 duck, mushu pork, and chow mein. The mushu pork was to die for.

Stumbled upon this place for dinner and it was excellent! The food came out amazingly fast, and it was great. We had the cantonese chow mein, general tao chicken, pork noodle soup with vermicelli noodles, and spring rolls. It was very affordable as well. The staff are very efficient and the service is incredible. The second our water was empty they replaced it with a new one. They were very attentive and kind. Very glad we came here!

Great little spot for fantastic Chinese food. Dishes came out quick and portion sizes were big. We got General Tao chicken, house noodles, and wide noodles. So good! Cash only is only down fall.

We were a group of friends, 5 people. The place is in Chinatown and small. It doesn't accept reservations, but the line is fast (we waited 10 min). The service was incredibly kind, funny, fast and attentive. We celebrated a friend's bday and 2 friends who are becoming fathers and the staff started to sing with us 🤣 they kept our desserts in their fridge (very nice of em). The best part is the food, oh boy so delicious!! The portions super huge (i suggest to share) and very cheap (5 people, average of 2 plates each person, 81$🥲). 5 stars definitely deserved! I suggest to try house noodles beef with broccoli! They accept only cash, but the ATM is just in front the restaurant (right after the street lights, behind the corner).

First time trying Shabu Shabu. Great atmosphere and friendly service, though they did feel understaffed. We got their new omakase set for 39$ and the sukiyaki broth. The portions seemed small at first glance but turned out to be surprisingly filling. The broth was really good but on the salty side, had to drink lots of water. Be careful not to leave your ingredients soaking in the broth for too long! Overall I'd come back here for a special occasion!

Japanese shabu in Chinatown. It’s been great over the years, keep coming back. Same consistent quality food. Sukiyaki soup is the best for Angus beef lightly cooked and dipped in raw egg. Prime beef is great as more lean option.
Ines W - 5 months ago

Fantastic service that was attentive and speedy. The spicy broth really hit the spot. There is plenty of food for each set. I got the premium beef set and it was really yummy. Wish there was a bit more meat but I came away stuffed (there was a lot of veggies, and it came with a bowl of rice and noodles). The sesame sauce was also really yummy. The ponzu sauce was a bit too salty. Dessert was an alfogato with chocolate ice cream. The ice cream tasted like cheap ice cream but it was elevated by the espresso.
Stella Chen - 6 months ago

The food was delicious, lots of options and you can mix the sauces, broth or spices for unique flavors. The servers checked in often and were a delight. Recommend the combo dishes as they have lots of different items to enjoy
Caitlynn Syvret - 11 months ago

The food was fresh. The sets are very filling because of the noodles and rice you get. However I thought the price was a lot for what you get. The sets could probably come with more meat.

I'm out of the city from Alberta, and I saw this cupcake shop while walking. I was craving a treat so I had to step inside and take a look. The selection is small but every option is mouth watering. I ended up getting the vanilla caramel cupcake. Every bit was perfect! Not too sweet, but enough salty as well from the caramel. Couldn't be happier with my selection of cupcake, and for the unexpected stop.

We were travelling on our daughters birthday - we stopped in to buy some cupcakes for her and they were so kind - there were birthday candles and they let us light them in the store for her to blow out. Thankyou for the delicious cupcakes and the very memorable experience !

The kids are obsessed with the cupcakes here—they’re gone in a blink. This place brings back all the feels from when we used to come before having kids.

Visited this cafe on a trip to Montreal. Ordered the dulce de leche frappe and the mocha frappe. Both great! Enjoyed the mocha frappe more. Nice atmosphere, good service. I will return!

Still on the hunt for a solid coffee spot near work, I decided to give the Café Dépot in Complexe Desjardins (the one with the Saint-Catherine entrance) a try. It’s definitely convenient, and the interior is clean, well-lit, and well stocked. It also wasn’t very busy, which made for a quick in-and-out visit. I ordered a large coffee, which, in reality, is more like a medium by competitor standards. It was… fine. Just fine. Not bad, not great—just something to get the job done. But at nearly $4, I was quickly reminded why Café Dépot is rarely on my go-to list. For the same price elsewhere, I could get a larger and noticeably better brew. That said, if you’re looking for convenience over quality and don’t feel like waiting in line, this place does the trick. But for a coffee that actually makes your morning, you might want to keep looking.

We came here for a quick bite while exploring the area. Definitely recommended. There are two entrances - the street side on St Catherine Street and one from inside Complexe Desjardins. We went for a regular coffee, a Dragon fruit Aqua Fresca, a Peach Ice Tea, an Oats muffin, a Caprese sandwich and Falafel wrap. Everything was great, except for Falafel where sweet potatoes tasted out of place. The lady at the counter was very patient (as we took a little more than usual time to decide the order) and friendly. Great service. It's a pedestrian street, at least during summer I think, so parking can be tricky near St Catherine Street. Definitely recommended!!

Cafe Depot’s s’mores hot chocolate is pure comfort in a cup—rich chocolate, gooey marshmallows, and a touch of graham cracker flavor that feels like a cozy campfire treat. Perfect for chilly days or a sweet pick-me-up that warms you right up. Love it!

Been here a few times but it was my first dinner. The Niçoise salad was surprisingly pretty good. I told my daughter they had a really good beef tartare(had it for lunch last fall) but we were disappointed it was a little chewy and the potion smaller. However the sea bass with the leeks & purée were well prepared and delicious. Sealed the meal with a crème brûlée which was good!
MANDY MUPONDA - 4 weeks ago

The environment was amazing, and the quality of the food was excellent. We ordered the salmon and steak — both were incredibly tender with a perfectly balanced taste. The sauce for the salmon was absolutely heavenly. I also tried the Coco Fraise mocktail, which was delicious; the coconut flavor was very pronounced, and I really loved it. We were celebrating our anniversary, and for dessert, we ordered a crème brûlée, which the restaurant kindly offered on the house. It made our experience even more special. The staff were super kind and helpful. Despite being a busy Saturday night, the food was served quite fast.

Had a wonderful breakfast experience here! The interior was beautifully luxurious with stylish contemporary touches that made the space feel both elegant and inviting. We ordered a croissant and salmon salad, and both dishes truly impressed us. Even the simple croissant stood out—it was flaky, flavorful, and far above the usual breakfast fare. When I added prosciutto and butter, it became one of the most delicious and unique croissants I’ve ever had. The service was warm and made us feel like valued guests, adding to the overall positive experience. The only downside was that it took quite a while to receive our bill, which was a bit of a hiccup in an otherwise seamless morning.

Three friends and I had an absolutely wonderful brunch at Brasserie 701 in Old Montréal. We had made a reservation in advance, which was a good idea, although the restaurant wasn’t overly busy—likely due to the heat wave, which actually made things feel even more relaxed and enjoyable. The service was outstanding from start to finish. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Old Montréal. Most of us ordered the Eggs Benedict, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. All in all, it was a 10/10 brunch experience. I highly recommend Brasserie 701 to anyone looking for a great meal in a beautiful setting with top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back!

While visiting Montreal for just a day, I knew I had to explore Chinatown and enjoy some authentic Chinese cuisine. I came across Mai Xiang Yuan Dumpling, a spot with solid ratings and promising reviews. The moment you step in, it gives off that classic, old-style Chinese restaurant vibe — cozy, unpretentious, and full of character. The staff are warm and welcoming, making the dining experience even better. One thing to note: they only accept cash, so be sure to have some on hand before you go. The food itself is excellent and truly authentic. Their dumplings are packed with flavor and made fresh, and the soup is just as satisfying — comforting, rich, and perfectly balanced. If you’re in Chinatown, Montreal, and want a genuine dumpling experience, Mai Xiang Yuan is well worth a visit. Just remember to bring cash and an appetite.

Mai Xiang Yuan is an absolute gem that delivers an unforgettable culinary experience from start to finish. We began our meal with two refreshing cold starters: the Cucumber Salad and Wood Ear Mushroom Salad—both perfectly seasoned with just the right balance of garlic, vinegar, and sesame oil. Each bite was crisp, clean, and packed with flavour. But the star of the appetizer round was definitely #55: the Cilantro and Black Mushroom Salad. Earthy, aromatic, and beautifully balanced, it offered a unique texture and taste that elevated the entire dining experience For the main event, we shared an order of fried pork and cabbage dumplings—crispy on the outside and juicy within, each dumpling bursting with well-seasoned filling that left us wanting more. The boiled lamb and spring onion dumplings were equally exceptional: tender, comforting, and infused with the subtle sweetness of spring onion that paired beautifully with the richness of the lamb. Everything was made even better with a couple of cold Tsingtao beers to wash it all down. The pairing of the dumplings and Tsingtao was nothing short of perfect—light, refreshing, and incredibly satisfying. Service was prompt, friendly, and welcoming. This is a spot where tradition meets quality, and every dish reflects the care and craft of true culinary artistry. We’ll be back—soon, and often.

Many nasty reviews but reality is that this place offers the best dumplings in China town Montreal. Yes we have a military style service but love this place. Been here many times over the years

Excellent dumplings, they taste home made and good price. Highly recommend for dumpling fans. We had the soup beef dumplings, the mushroom and cabbage and the dim sum shrimp ones. Cash only tho.

After a long bus tour, we were alighted at the China town gates, the tour guide recommendedstopto go into China Town. As we entered, Mai Xiang dumplings caught our eye. The staff was welcoming, and we sat and ordered Hot and Sour Soup, pan friend lamb, and pork dumplings. The soup was very good and so were the dumplings. Service was excellent.

Dobe & Andy Montreal’s Cantonese BBQ Gem Located in the heart of Montreal’s Chinatown at 1071 Rue Saint-Urbain, Dobe & Andy is a go-to destination for authentic Cantonese barbecue that delivers big flavor at fair prices. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, with a gritty, no-frills charm that lets the food take center stage. It's the kind of place where locals and food lovers gather for comforting, hearty meals without any pretension. One of the undeniable stars of the menu is the roast duck. Rich, golden skin that crackles perfectly with every bite, and succulent, juicy meat that falls off the bone it’s everything you’d want from a Cantonese-style roast. The duck is typically served chopped into hearty pieces and paired with a vibrant ginger-scallion sauce that adds a fresh, aromatic punch. It’s simple, but intensely satisfying. Beyond the duck, the menu is packed with other BBQ favorites like roast pork, soy chicken, and char siu, each prepared with care and precision. The portions are generous, and the prices are more than reasonable making it easy to enjoy a full, satisfying meal without stretching your wallet. The vibe at Dobe & Andy is casual, homey, and buzzing with energy. It feels like a true hidden gem, offering classic comfort food in an authentic, welcoming environment. Whether you're grabbing takeout or dining in, the experience feels genuine and grounded focused on great food, made right. In short, Dobe & Andy is the kind of place you keep coming back to. Great value, bold flavors, and a roast duck that easily ranks among the best in the city.

Dobe & Andy came highly recommended as a must-try spot for Chinese BBQ in Montreal, so we were really looking forward to it—especially coming from Toronto, where great and affordable Chinese BBQ options are everywhere. Unfortunately, it ended up being a big disappointment. When we arrived, it was a bit chaotic and unclear whether we were supposed to line up or just wait to be seated—there wasn’t much direction. Once we got seated and looked at the menu, we noticed the prices were quite high compared to what we’re used to in Toronto. Still, we were hopeful the food would make up for it. But when the food arrived, the portions were underwhelming for the price. The large green vegetable dish alone was over $14. The BBQ pork (cha siu) was a major letdown—dry, thickly cut, and lacking flavor. The roast pork was also dry and didn’t come with nearly enough sauce. The BBQ duck was decent, but nothing special. Overall, we left pretty disappointed. Honestly, I could walk into any Chinese BBQ spot in Toronto—even the ones inside grocery stores—and get better BBQ pork than what we had here. It just didn’t live up to the hype.

Love this place since day one! Anytime I am around I can't but stop by. The food is the best and affordable. Portions are super generous. The duck and the pork are delicious. A must try!

Unassuming Chinese restaurant specialized in BBQ dishes. Tried their signature dish with BBQ duck and chaw main noodles. Very tasty. Credit card accepted.

Last time I came here was before COVID. Unfortunately, it’s been a disappointment. Used to take the lunch combo. Took the Cantonese chow mein and pork soup noodles. Cantonese chow mein : they used oyster sauce to make the sauce… big no already. Too salty but not even flavour. Dish was really small for a Chinese dish. There was no “Wok fire” taste at all, felt like cooked at home. Pork noodles : broth could had a bigger hit of flavour, overall it was ok. Milk tea was good. Btw : What happened to all Asian employees ? Even the chef isn’t Asian.

We visited on a Friday evening around 7 PM and had to wait about 30 minutes for a table, which seems typical for the time. Once seated, the food came out quickly—within 5–10 minutes. I had the dan dan noodles, and they were flavorful and delicious. The texture of the pulled noodles was especially impressive—fresh, chewy, and clearly made with care. I also ordered an egg with my noodles, but unfortunately, it never arrived. My husband had the traditional noodles with extra meat. He thought they were just okay—the broth was average and didn’t stand out much. Overall, I’d definitely return for the dan dan noodles and those amazing pulled noodles, but I hope the service is a bit more attentive next time.

Totally recommend this amazing place to get authentic and delicious Lanzhou noodles. For noodle thickness, I recommend 3rd thickness. Service: The waiters were nice, but there was a long line to get in (which is understandable for a popular spot). Atmosphere: Love! I adore the way it is decorated in Chinese style. Food: My family ordered the traditional Lanzhou noodles, beef tendon noodles, and zhajiangmian (dry soybean noodles in English I think). The portions are huge. For example, someone ordered a medium yet they were unable to finish it. Not to mention, the price is very reasonable.

Dan dan noodles - on the drier side, nice twist, the spicy level wasn’t spicy at all. - Noodles were bouncy and soft, perfect. You could tell they were hand crafted - Meat to noodle ratio needs to increase. - Medium size is huge, its 2x portions. - The cucumber salad was a nice twist with the Sichuan chilis The server sneezed three times, apologized after the second time. He didn’t wash his hands and served water to the new table. The restaurant has a quick turnover rate. The food was delivered fast, it was hot and fresh. I wouldn’t order the Dan Dan noodles again, but might try another noodle soup dish.
Brandon J (B2) - a month ago

A good place to enjoy a different experience, watching the preparation of the Noodles is captivating. There are always people waiting in line, and when you get a table, the service is quick. The downside is that the place is too small for the number of people who come to consume and in the summer season it doesn't have air conditioning. The portions are excellent and you leave very satisfied.

Do yourself a favor and go here. You can see them making their noodles from scratch right as you walk in. This place was bustling but the service was still fast and attentive. I ordered the Combo #3 vegetarian noodle soup with black egg and edamame salad with the #4 size noodle. It was pure comfort in a bowl. There is also a speciality grocery shop downstairs that has a little bit of everything!
