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

The food is incredible!! 5 stars!!! Nothing else is 5 stars: the ambiance, the service, the cleanliness. I learned about this Restaurant Beijing on a food tour- our guide said she and her family would visit here weekly for dinner! I can see why- the food is delicious! The menu is vast so everyone can find something. The gals at the front counter had a lovely, vibrant energy! The male servers could take a lesson from them. I understand it’s always busy but a smile and a “Bonjour” would be the bare minimum. And there wasn’t even that. The bathrooms were atrocious. Use the hand sanitizer at the front counter. You pay at the front… otherwise you’re just sitting there.

Quaint Chinese restaurant in Chinatown with prompt and courteous service. The Beef Chow Ho was quite good as was the eggplant with tofu and pork. I appreciate how simple and straightforward this place is, and the food did not disappoint for a quick Chinese lunch.

Excellent shrimp fried rice and very good service. The fried rice has amazing wok flavor. The wonton soup was only ok. It’s nice they serve hot tea and give fortune cookie for dessert. Reasonable price.

I love this place! The staff is nice, they can seat a big crowd if you call in advance, and the food is fantastic. Their prices are reasonable if you are getting a lot of plates to share. This is not the type of place where you get one dish for yourself, I think you would be missing out if you did this. I’ve never liked eggplant before, and the eggplant here blew my mind. I wish they had more beer options, but Tsingtao is always good.

A bit on the pricey side but the food was great!! needless to say portion was good too but they charge u service fee by themselves we paid 11$ might be better if they let the customers give it by themselves not forcing it but yeah overall good. I tried the lobster and beef sizzling

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).

Very tasty food, and one of the more affordable spots in Chinatown! Lunch runs us about 30$ for two people and is always filling and delicious. It may not serve the BEST dumplings in the area, but we still find ourselves returning for the coziness, comfort food, & low price. Oh, and remember to bring cash!!!

Great location with amazing staff. The restaurant is cozy and clean. The service is super quick. Food is good too. I'd love to try the noodles next time.

Unassuming restaurant, classic hole-in-the-wall style, with fantastic house noodles! Ordered the #2 hot and sour soup, #12 soup dumplings, and #19 pork and spicy vegetables soup for a fantastic trip down Noodle Road! (cash only)

They serve good Chinese dishes. I ordered soup dumplings (pork), chicken fried rice, and noodles with spicy pork. All the dishes were delicious. Their food is not high-end (which is what you’d expect, right?) but it's affordable and delicious—classic American Chinese food. This spot is recommended for hungry tourists who want to try Chinese cuisine."

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

Came in for some Japanese fondue on a rainy day which turned out to be just the.right choice. The classic combo gives you a good and balanced amount of delicious food. The atmosphere and setup are great. Service was impeccable. We had a great dining experience.

Great shabu-shabu. Well served portions and really good. Loved the Konjac noodles as a keto and diabetic friendly option! The seating is very limited and it is all counter sitting.

The food was awesome, especially the wagyu. I have been eaten wagyu in many places. This restaurant’s wagyu were very fresh and well prepared. Both my son and I loved it. The servers were really nice and kind to us as well! Will definitely come back for it!

The atmosphere is super enjoyable and the experience is definitely nice. The service was really good and their staff is friendly. This place is definitely great for healthier food options, but it's nothing extraordinary. Although, I really liked the goma sauce and the spicy broth. I took the chicken breast combo but I think there were better options. It was also pretty pricey, but I think it was worth it, especially if you're going with friends, it's a super fun 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.
Mike Mike - 2 months ago

I used to buy the cupcakes since the early years of Les Glaceurs. They were so delicious, always fresh and more affordable, I feel like the quality has really went down, the icing is much more sweeter and the cake is not moist. I’ve bought them as few times the past year or so and it happened more than once that the cupcakes were not fresh. I’ve giving many tries, but Im really disappointed.

Love the mini cupcakes here. The size is perfect. I really enjoy the box of mix assortment. Moka and Salted Caramel flavour is my favourite.

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!!

I liked a lot, good coffe, nice client service and my sandwich and muffin was great. I give 4 stars to atmosphere because is in mall, but is nice place.

I was at the lower level Cafe Depot in the food court of Complexe Desjardin on Saturday, January 14, 2023 at about 18h30, and the person making the coffee (sorry I didn't get your name) was amazing. She was the only employee so there was a significant line up, but she took care to make everyone feel special. My Americano was perfect.

Lovely restaurant, great food, good atmosphere. Nice indoor ambience, lovely outdoor seating area with great views of Skyscrapers backdrop and lovely sunrise and sunset view. I had a heart experience here, short wait time, responsive and helpful staff, there waiters were very professional, polite and friendly. The meal tasted great with overall lovely presentation. The cost was also very reasonable. Highly recommend! 👌🏿

Gorgeous setting facing the edge of the cathedral square. Had a great wine selection, food was delicious, and service was good. Uber dropped us off at the intersection just a few steps from the door. DEFINITELY get a reservation. This place is extremely busy but worth it.

I went there for lunch with my wife, and we wanted to try their "Beef filet mignon" and their "Lobster with Sabayon" but unfortunately this was impossible as they were serving only brunch with a unique menu for the holiday period! This could have been easily avoided if they had mentioned it on their website!!! Anyways we ended up eating the "Poulet Gaufré" and the "Bénédictines au confit de Canard" and they tasted good enough! The service was good and the ambiance too but we were disappointed because of the misunderstanding I mentioned earlier!

We had two visits to this bar inside the Hotel Place d'Armes, one was for an afternoon cocktail and a snack- the charcuterie was simple and a good size for pre-dinner snacking. The bartender John was nice to chat with. Then we popped in for breakfast, generous portions and served quickly. We were very pleased with breakfast and a mimosa to end our vacation stay.

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.

My favourite dumpling spot in Montreal! I wish they still had the fried tomato egg dumplings but we enjoyed the chicken curry ones a lot. Cucumber salad was delicious as well.
Jasmine Lee - 4 months ago

The dumplings were decent, but not particularly memorable. Presentation was pretty standard, nothing to write home about, and while the portion size was reasonable , it didn’t quite make up for the overall lack of wow factor. If you're craving dumplings, they’ll satisfy you, but don’t expect anything out of the ordinary. Also, this is a Cash only establishment.
Amelia Anderson - 3 months ago

Very delicious dumplings. I shared with my friends and we split the bill, and the price in total was quite fair or “cheaper than I expected.” The staff was also very friendly. A staff we talked to was multilingual, speaking Chinese (Mandarin and Canton), Japanese, English and French it was mind blowing.

You can’t be in the area and not try these! I was in the area for the weekend and came here for lunch twice! From the perfect consistency of the bao, to the flavours of the broth and perfectly seasoned filling, it’s 10/10 Heads up, it’s a cash only but they do have an atm ($2.50 fee) should you forget to grab some cash.

Recommend any of the signature dishes here. We tried the BBQ Pork, Duck, and chicken. Everything together was well balanced, all was very tasty. The staff was attentive and kind. The Bruce Lee decor was cool to see.

Disclaimer: I went to this restaurant at the end of the day, about an hour and a half before closing on a Monday. So I'm not going to judge too harshly. I really enjoyed the vibe. I kept thinking I was in a movie in the 80s. Which is great. The service was great. I'd like to try another dish before I make a final judgment. Because the chicken fried rice and dumplings were super good. My BBQ beef was a little "bony." What can I say? I'd still recommend it, though. Also, it wasn't super expensive for what you got!
Adam Jacques - 2 months ago

Food was a 3/5 for us, the meats (bbq pork and duck) were both just too salty which perhaps we are the outliers who find that many restaurants in Montreal serve extremely salty meat. Loved the laid back ambience and staff tho. Would return for a nice cold ice tea out of the hot sun.

Great place to go in Chinatown. The food is great (although my roast duck did have a lot of bones). The wonton soup is a must have. It's large enough for 2-3 people to share and comes with 4 wontons. It has a great onion flavor. My favorite of the meats is the roast pork - which is really pork belly with crispy skin. Even in soup the skin stays crispy. The char sui is also very good. They also have a very refreshing Hong Kong Lemon Iced Tea. The restaurant itself is tucked away and there is often a line. The line can be long, but it moves fast. Once seated, the service is very rushed and uneven. They usually only have two servers for the whole restaurant who also clean and prepare some parts of orders. I ordered the roast pork one time but the server messed up the order and brought char sui - lesson learned, triple check your order with them. You also might need to flag down your server. If you get there too late they usually run out of the more popular items and what they have when you sit down might not be what they have when you order. Because of the short staff, the tables and chairs are not always cleaned properly.

If you’re a noodle lover visiting Montreal, Nouilles de Lan Zhou is a must-stop destination. I arrived for an early lunch with my family at 11:15 AM, and the timing couldn’t have been better—no wait, and we got a cozy spot in their lively Chinatown location. We ordered the medium-sized bowls of their signature hand-pulled beef noodle soup. To our surprise, the “medium” was enormous, definitely generous enough to satisfy a hearty appetite. The broth was light yet full of depth, with just the right amount of spice to warm you up on a cold Montreal day. The thinly sliced beef melted in the mouth, while the noodles, freshly pulled to order, had that perfect balance of chew and tenderness. The bowl is also a visual delight, topped with vibrant cilantro, green onions, chili oil, and a dollop of spicy bean paste that packs a punch if you mix it in. Pro tip: Come hungry or share a bowl if you’re not a big eater! Overall, this spot delivers authentic flavors and excellent value for money. Be sure to arrive early because it’s easy to see how this place fills up quickly! Would I return? Absolutely!

If you're in the mood for a fun dining experience with tasty food, you absolutely need to check out Nouilles de Lan Zhou! One of the coolest things about this noodle shop is watching the chefs craft fresh noodles right in front of you—it's such a mesmerizing sight! The noodles are chewy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The menu is packed with a great variety, so there’s definitely something for everyone to enjoy. Honestly, I’ve had the best hand-pulled noodles here! You can pick the size of your dish, whether you want small or large, the thickness of the noodles, and even how spicy you’d like the soup. The meat is super tender, and the rich beef broth is just mouthwatering! Plus, the portions are huge and the prices are really reasonable. The service is top-notch as well! You’re in for a treat!

We are visiting from the states and were recommended to come here by one of the great guides at the tourist information center. The wait was worth it. We probably waited like 25 minutes outside but it was fun to watch the noodles being pulled in the window and it was part of the experience. The noodles were excellent and the portions were huge!

The homemade noodles are nothing short of incredible—chewy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Each dish I tried was bursting with authentic flavors that transported me straight to the heart of noodle culture. The menu offers a great variety, ensuring there's something for everyone. If you're looking for a unique dining experience with delicious food and a lively atmosphere, Nouilles de Lan Zhou is the place to be. I can't wait to go back for another bowl of those amazing noodles! Highly recommend! 🍜✨

Came here for the hand-pulled noodles, and they didn’t disappoint. There was a fairly long line, but it was mostly a few big groups that we ended up skipping past. The menu is small and they were out of the beef tendon, so we tried the beef soup combo and the veggie soup combo (with beef broth instead of veggie broth, which was available). Both were quite good and had the same broth, and the noodles were very good and chewy. The side dishes were nice to go with, but were better for garnishing than just eating plain. We also did not get the tea boil egg that comes with the combo, they must have forgot, as did we. The place is fairly cramped and the service was good enough.
