Best Asian Food Restaurants in Quebec

"What is it: Were you to ask a Montrealer where the best Japanese can be found, they’ll tell you it’s Kazu. They’ll also tell you it’s best to arrive early, as there’s a regular line up the block. That’s due in part to this restaurant’s no-reservations policy, but also because of popularity."

"Kazu is the epitome of a restaurant for solo diners with their small and lively dining room and impressive Japanese menu. If you can beat the lineup, Kazu is truly the perfect spot for lunch or dinner. Especially if you’re a fan of steaming bowls of ramen and fresh sashimi!"

"One of very few places to offer Malaysian or Singaporean food in the city, Satay Brothers has over the years evolved from a seasonal market stall founded by two brothers and their mom to a bustling, destination-worthy restaurant on the Notre-Dame strip. Stellar peanut-sauced satays, steamed pork belly buns, shrimpy laksa, and coconut-topped rendang have propelled them to icon status on the city’s restaurant scene — with that early-days stand at the Atwater Market still very much in the picture."

"In addition to their small stand at Atwater Market, the « frères brochettes » opened a second restaurant to meet the needs of their growing number of customers. It’s an ideal place to have fun and meet people. There’s always a party atomosphere at Satay Brothers."

"Satay Brothers went from their cozy indoor nook to take-out food, and we shouldn’t be complaining. The chance to order Singapore street food is very appealing. Egg rolls, popcorn shrimp, soup, ribs, fried chicken and rice — need we say more?"

"Located in Swatow Plaza on St-Laurent, just above popular Asian grocery store Marché G&D, this place always seems to be busy and we can understand why. It’s hard to pop into the supermarket for some gai lan without also saying yes to a bowl of hand-pulled noodles on the way out, or to walk by their window-front noodle-pulling station without being completely mesmerised."

"Hand-pulled noodles with beef broth soup are the go-to at this Chinatown fave. Pull up a table in their strangely laid-out dining room, right next to a picturesque escalator to the downstairs grocery store and throw down just $8 for a small (read: huge) bowl."

"Obscenely large and tasty portions of hand-pulled noodles swirling in a rich beef broth are the draw at this Swatow Plaza staple, but the dandan noodles — slathered in spicy beef sauce and a crunchy peanut topping — should not be missed."

"In the space formerly inhabited by Phillips Lounge, restaurant Jatoba welcomes its guests into a truly enchanting setting. For those who are okay with handing over their whole wallet for a meal, this address is sure to impress. The cornerstone of the Jatoba experience is the iconic seafood platter – chef Olivier Vigneault’s specialty."

"Jatoba is located in the former Philips Lounge and the decor is magnificent. Chef Olivier Vigneault prepares heavenly seafood platters that have fallen to earth!. But also available for lunch and dinner are small dumplings, salads, and meat."

"Pickup up from this place a few times and the food is very good. It is pricey, of course, but a nice treat as they have some original dishes and very fre..."

"DowntownWhat you’re getting: Steamed pork and dill dumplingsWhether you’re a vegetarian, pescetarian, or carnivore, there is a dumpling with your name on it at Qing Hua. I mean, who doesn’t love pockets of dough that are filled with the softest, most deliciously cooked meat and vegetables, studded with herbs and then allowed to swim in hot, salty broth..."

"Qing Hua: If you want to feel like you never need to eat again and spend less than $8 CAD ($6 USD) doing so, make sure you check out Qing Hua. Their pork dumplings with mushrooms are LIFE. If you don’t eat meat, there are also a ton of vegetarian options."

"Aux cinq parfums is a very good restaurant located in the north of the island. You will specially like its appetising cuisine and its copious dishes. We recommend you to share several appetizers, as they are particularly delicious.(Photo credit: Aux cinq parfums)"

"Whether you are experienced or a novice to sushi, Le Fisshu will amaze you with its wide variety of tasty and refined sushi. You can eat as much as your hunger allows!. In addition, we also serve brochettes, dumplings, several choices of noodles and wide selection of desserts is offered to finish off your meal."

"A post shared by David Bowen (@davidbowen76) on Jun 29, 2015 at 4:44pm PDT. Prepare your taste pallets to be dazzled by the top class food prepared in this amazing restaurant. From the relaxing atmosphere to the perplexing food menu, you know you made the right choice."

"San Gennaro makes this list for its sale of the Neapolitan pastry like bomboloni, Italian donuts which are stuffed with nutella and cream. It's a small spot that made waves upon arrival a few years back, and still serves the city well with its espresso and pastries; not to mention their pizzas, gelato and biscotti."

"The newest Italian café to hit Little Italy by storm is San Gennaro. While they don’t only serve gelato, it’s worth heading over there for their delicious frozen treats. They make their gelato in-house with great and original flavours."

"Montreal has a huge Haitian community, and the food at Agrikol expresses that heritage. Located in a two-story house on Amherst, the restaurant has a transportive tropical vibe and a knockout oxtail stew. Most of the dishes are best shared; order the crispy fish accras, caramelized fried plantain, and whole fried fish of the day."

"Get a taste of Port-Au-Prince decor and Haitian food at Agrikol. This charming backyard terrace is surrounded by pendant twinkle lights, delicate white garden chairs, and candles setting the romantic mood. Agrikol gets even cooler, being the labour of love of Win Butler and Régine Chassagne of Arcade Fire."

"Montreal-based band Arcade Fire is the mastermind behind this Haitian rum house flanked by the most fabulous patio in the city, bar none."

"Imaginez la dose de réconfort et d’amour qui vous attendent en commandant à emporter ou en livraison !. Tout peut sembler bien simple, mais assurez-vous que tout est très bien fait et surtout, fait maison : du fameux pâté à la viande de la famille Belley jusqu’au fromage en grains."

"We don’t always think of rue Sherbrooke as a gastronomic stopover, but at Renoir, the French cuisine is at its best, and they aren’t at all shy about tapping into the available local produce. Olivier Perret, the elegant chef, looks after his customers by serving only the best local products. This same elegance can be found on the menu, especially in the De-Light formula, a meal combining gastronomy and today’s dietary knowledge."

"If you want brunch and you want a lot of it, Renoir is the only sensible option in Montreal — enough said."

"For years since its 1989 opening, La Colombe was Montreal's best bring-your-own-wine restaurant. The competition has since wised up yet, but it is still in the top three for value, service, and quality. A small bistro on the Plateau, this small dining room serves fine French cuisine for a steal, with a daily fixed menu that includes a soup, main course, dessert, and coffee, or splurge on one of the biggest pieces of seared foie gras you've ever seen."
