Le Piment Rouge

Almost a decade after its former location in the Windsor Hotel closed, celebrated high-end Sichuan restaurant Le Piment Rouge made a long-awaited comeback in October, with original owner Hazel Mah at the helm. Piment is still serving absolute classics from its OG menu — hunan dumplings, General Tao chicken with Piment Rouge sauce and millionaire fried rice with seafood, to name just a few — as well as a range of new crowd-pleasers from a second specialty menu, among them addictive golden shrimp balls, delicious steamed fish and a cabbage dish that brings new shine to a basic leafy green. Piment’s new digs in a beautiful but more intimate space on Beaumont Avenue in Parc Ex — featuring a nicely decked out bar and dining room — is an essential add-on to your Montreal restaurant to-do list.
