Asian cuisine restaurants Canada

Located right in the heart of Old Montreal, this restaurant offers the most authentic Vietnamese cuisine, inspired by bia hoi (small street corner pubs in Hanoi). At the helm in the kitchen is chef Ross Louangsignotha, who brings a modern take on Southeast Asian cuisine while retaining the essence of traditional recipes. The Tonkinese soup is a pure delight (with the addition of rare beef), as are the imperial rolls. For night owls, the restaurant has an on-site cocktail bar, the Nhâu Bar.

Bao Bei defines itself as a Chinese brewery. And it is indeed a mixture of cultures: the base is definitely Asian, but revisited in the manner of tapas, small dishes that allow you to taste several flavors. It takes about two dishes for a small hunger, three dishes to be completely satiated. Don't miss dim sum, a real treat and an Asian speciality not to be missed! If you have the opportunity to go there on Saturdays, you can stroll out to the night market in Chinatown, in the same street.

An excellent address for lovers of Chinese cuisine and dim sum. Its varied menu allows you to combine one or more dishes. If you are several, menus for 2, 3, 4 or 6 people will save you.

In Montreal, plant-based cuisine is a source of boundless creativity. Here, we're discovering vegan Indian dishes with a particular focus on the nutritional quality of the ingredients chosen. Byrianis, dals, curries... everything is bursting with flavor. The "chicken" tikka is particularly good, and the mango lassi is just delicious. At lunchtime, the thali can be an interesting place to sample several small specialties. And it has to be said, you'll be very warmly welcomed, with attentive service. It's a pleasant address in every way.

A Korean restaurant serving typical Korean cuisine. Located in the small Korean quarter, the Korean House is distinguished by the delicacy of its dishes and its traditional alcohol le. The richness of this gastronomy that harmoniously combines Chinese and Japanese flavours is becoming known.

NAMI was one of the first sushi and Japanese restaurants in the city and has since become a classic in Toronto. The framework is simple and clearly refers to the Land of the Rising Sun. In addition to combos, you will find a nice selection of sushi and sashimi à la carte, not to mention rolls and hand rolls and grills. For a more authentic experience, we suggest you take a seat at the Sushi Bar. The waiters usually greet your departure with a "Gochisosama Deshita! " (thanks for coming to eat).

Here is a table that relies on the famous fundamental rule of the 7 R's, the basis of zero waste, in addition to offering a gourmet experience based on local and seasonal products. On the plate, an Asian fusion cuisine served in the form of tapas, including the inevitable baos (steamed stuffed buns). Half the menu offers vegan, vegetarian and/or gluten-free options. In the glass, local beers, wines from small producers and cocktails, many of which are based on Asian spirits or tea.

Toronto is the Mecca of world flavors in this country and Tinuno is a proud representative of this gourmet diversity. Cathy Ortega and Gerald Aquintey, the duo behind the restaurant, offer you the typical cuisine of the Philippines without having to pay the price of a flight to this Pacific country. To live the full experience, we strongly suggest to take the kamayan, a feast served on banana leaves and which is eaten with bare hands. And for late risers, Filipino breakfasts are served all day long.

Located a stone's throw from St. James' Church, this Japanese izakaya offers only Japanese specialties, as well as revisited versions such as Moshibèkon Yakitori ( moshi and bacon skewers). You can accompany your meal with a typical cocktail, a Japanese beer or, of course, a good sake. The place can be noisy at lunchtime, so be warned! Also worth discovering: its little gourmet sister, Hanzo Izakaya, located on Saint-Nicolas Street in the heart of Old Montreal. We recommend it!

A former Chinese art store is now home to THE trendy spot of the moment. The kitchen in the center of the room gives diners the pleasure of observing Japanese dishes in preparation. Sashimi, grilled duck aged in miso or tantan udon: these delicate dishes are ideal for sharing. Glasses of wine or sake take on a special flavor under the soft lighting. And for even greater intimacy, the small vinyl bar in the basement transforms into a unique club in the evening.

The Red Tiger is a kind of hybrid between a neighborhood pub and a typical Vietnamese street food restaurant. On the menu: green papaya salad, barbecue and sesame pork skewers, mini Vietnamese chicken and shrimp pancakes... We recommend that several people share a few dishes, so you can try everything. There's a great list of house cocktails and even a signature beer, a light blonde that goes down well. If the place doesn't have a terrace, there's a large garage door that opens wide on sunny days.

Did you know that the first steam ravioli (dumplings) were made over 1,300 years ago? This is, among other original information, what the menu of this small restaurant teaches us. Zhen, the owner and chef of Mother's Dumplings, was inspired by her mother's recipes to make mouth-watering ravioli that melt in your mouth, at equally sweet prices. The selection is vast, in boiled, steamed or pan-fried versions. The small restaurant also offers noodle or rice dishes, stews, soups, etc.

Let's face it: we don't go to Chez Chili for the setting, but for the plates, each one as good as the next (and believe us, a good part of the dishes have been tested and approved!). Special mention to the excellent eggplant with garlic, melt-in-the-mouth, to be served with white rice and sautéed tofu for example, all for the right price. The service is always very pleasant and the tea is served at the table, alongside the classic water carafe. A real good address in Chinatown!

After the huge success of Sushi Momo, Christian Ventura is taking his vegan sushi concept one step further. With Bloom, the setting is a little more upscale, the style is refined in cream tones, between stone, wood and dried flowers. The menu, still in the same spirit, is very interesting. With konjac "salmon", tofu "crab" or sweet potato tempura, the vegetal creativity is limitless. The result is elegant and, above all, well-balanced. A good address for gourmets curious about new flavors.

This neighborhood address offers traditional Tibetan food in a simple and authentic atmosphere. The terrace at the back is restful as you wish. The dishes are concocted with meats and finely cut vegetables in the Tibetan style. The typical dish is the momo, a large ravioli stuffed with meat, cheese or vegetables. The Yeti menu includes a rich assortment of the house specialties. Something to feast on before planning, why not, a trek in the Himalayas!

Restaurant Kazu is (often) at the end of the queue, on the corner of rue Sainte-Catherine and rue Saint-Marc. Frequented by regular customers and students, this Japanese izakaya in the heart of downtown is a delight for the taste buds... and the wallet! The place doesn't look much, the interior is tiny and unpretentious, but you come for the good food: okonomiyaki, onigiris, nabemono... in short, real Japanese cuisine, tasty and surprising. It's THE place to go in the neighborhood.
