| - This is by far my best dining experience in Montreal! I went there for the first time this summer and I plan to go back! I had never done hot-pot before so I didn't know what to expect. The idea: You have big pot of broth which cooks at your table (table has a hot plate, so no open flame) and you dip things in there to cook them and then pop into your mouth for instant nirvana!
The details: $25 per table (add $4 for spicy broth), add table fee, add more money for meat. Total = $50 for my hubby and I and well worth it.
1) Choose broth: You can get a clear or spicy broth or both (divider in pot keeps them separate. We got both and I must say the spicy broth is much better.
2) Choose meats (extra): We got beef and lamb. Both were thinly sliced and tasted amazing when cooked in the broth.
3) Take plate and walk around buffet adding items to cook in the pot.
4) Dip items in hot liquid, blow to cool them off, pop in mouth. Nom, Nom, Nom!
The place was crowded and noisy but I didn't really mind. The food was that good! It was just such a wonderful experience to try all the different items from the buffet (mussels, prawn, chinese brocoli, bok choy, bamboo shoot, baby corn as well as the thinly sliced meats). It was quite a selection! There is a photo of me that my husband took which makes me look like quite a bad mother! My daughter is lying next to me in the booth, and I am ignoring her and stuffing my face with food.
I didn't give this place a five-star because well, it isn't "fine-dining" but it's good. I recommend it.
