Did someone say dumplings? Shall I admit that a lot of our time was spent in Chinatown during this visit to Montreal?
I love dumplings. I'm a dumpling fanatic. Always have been. So, we grabbed 2 orders of dumplings here today: the boiled pork variety and the steamed shrimp, leek and egg style.
Both were fabulous.
We thought were also going to order soup dumplings, but they don't have them here. Want those slurp-able dumplings? Go next door to Bon Maison...same owners...different dumplings.
We figured if we didn't overdo the first round that we could stop by and grab soup dumplings later in the day. Which is exactly what we did. Stand by for that review, too.
When we arrived, the place was packed...only one table available pour deux. Parfait!! (Sorry...practicing mon Français).
Complimentary tea is provided by the only (seulement) girl (fille) working the whole place. She manages to keep things going...juggling waiting tables, bussing and seating hungry humans.
A couple of tips:
-cash only. First hint? Cash machine jammed into the already small entrance
-don't wait for her to bring the check...just go to the counter and pay (cash) there
Overall, a good pick for dumplings.
