99 Viger Avenue West (At St-Urbain) Montreal, QC H2Z 1E9 Canada +1 514 878 9888 |
The Holiday Inn Select's landmark Chinese oasis remains one of Montreal's unique dining experiences. The décor is a collection of sculptured gardens, babbling brooks and other exotic touches, and the menu is similarly impressive. The Dim Sum lunch is especially popular and won't set you back more than CAD40, while Sunday Brunch offers a lavish buffet. Peking Duck is the house specialty, while other favourites such as General Tao's Chicken are prepared with uncommon skill. The Lotus Bleu bar is a tranquil spot for a pre- or post-dinner drink.

Drop by for breakfast, lunch or just to satisfy that untimely hunger pang. With the Vieux-Montréal just a stone's throw away, the crowd mainly consists of tourists and also clerks and lawyers who drop in for lunch from nearby offices. Sandwiches made with the freshest of breads are on offer. Enjoy your coffee with a pick from the variety of pastries and pâtés available. Simple no-fuss American cuisine features on the short menu consisting of three-course meals. A prix-fixe menu is also on offer with entrées, such as Braised Veal and Poached Salmon to feast on. Tone down the heat in summer with an ice cream from this café - an eclectic range of flavors for you to choose from. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Dazzling landmark |
1130 Jeanne-Mance Street (Near René-Lévesque) Montreal, QC H2Z 1L7 Canada +1 514 861 3166 |
Serving the downtown corporate crowd, this upscale Italian landmark just keeps getting better. The décor is dazzling: all banners, tapestries and brass, not to mention an atrium-enclosed two-level dining room. Specialties include veal chops (CAD40), Jumbo Shrimps Fra Diavolo (CAD30) and Porcini Risotto (CAD25). The wine list is dominated by pricey Italian selections and the service is exemplary. For those who enjoy a cigar, there is a special lounge available for their pleasure. Cash only. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Unusual touches |
215 René-Lévesque Boulevard East (Near Hôtel-de-Ville) Montreal, QC H2X 1N7 Canada +1 514 393 3838 |
Not quite in Chinatown, this Cantonese-style restaurant located within the Days Inn Centre-Ville is good enough to attract queues on weekends for its dim sum brunch. This menu, served between 8a and 3p, offers such delicacies as steamed cuttlefish in ginger, seafood dumplings of shrimp and scallops, and a wide assortment of vegetarian dishes. The surroundings are nondescript, but the service is courteous and the prices compare well with other dim sum restaurants. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hong Kong in Canada |
1115, rue Clark Montreal, QC H2Z 1K3 Canada +1 514 393 3838 |
The excellent traditional Chinese cuisine served at Lotte Furama shall make you feel like you are in Hong Kong. The eatery is charming and a row of T.V. monitors in the long hall play Chinese videos all the time. The menu is extensive; do try their specialties- the sparrow nest soup and lobster. Though a little expensive, the over all experience is worth the money. You certainly won't regret paying a visit. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Goosebumps for dinner |
1037 Bleury Street (At de la Gauchetière) Montreal, QC H2Z 1M7 Canada +1 514 392 9268 http://www.maisonhantee.qc.ca/ |
This restaurant is one-of-a-kind in Montreal: you can eat while being frightened out of your wits during the dinner show! The dishes are strictly Canadian cuisine, with roast beef, chicken and other staples. There is a less-frightening matinee for kids between the ages of 7 and 14: a mysterious magic show filled with poetry, goose bumps and laughs. As you are led to your seat, goblins and ghosts come out of the walls; don't be surprised if your waiter has a 'knife' stuck in his head! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Reliable dim sum |
1111, rue Saint-Urbain Montreal, QC H2Z 1Y6 Canada +1 514 878 2888 http://www.lamaisonkamfung.com/ |
This is the most highly regarded casual Chinese restaurant in Montreal; Kam Fung draws with Cantonese and Szechuan cuisine and a pleasing if rather utilitarian décor. Peking Duck is the house specialty, and is available without advance order—a point of institutional pride. It is just as well known for its dim sum; an enormous selection of dumplings, many filled with the same fresh seafood you can see in the aquariums, are wheeled out on platters for the hungry weekend hordes. In either case you should escape for less than CAD15. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Night owl delight |
1077 Clark Street (Near René-Lévesque) Montreal, QC H2Z 1K3 Canada +1 514 861 1943 |
Some might find it strange to have to wait for a table at 2a. If that's you, then you shouldn't come to this Cantonese restaurant in the middle of Chinatown—especially on a Friday or Saturday night. But the late-night/early-morning crowd really appreciates being able to find reasonably-priced food in a place where the atmosphere is upbeat and the conversation stimulating, no matter what time of day or night. The service is attentive and bustling, with college-bound waiters happy to explain the dishes. Review © 2007, Wcities |
