Lotus D'Or — Restaurant in Granby

In the mood for Chinese food in Granby, we settled on Lotus d'Or based on the good Google reviews. It was a poor choice.

We ordered two dishes: bird's nest vegetable tofu, and chicken with vegetables in a red curry sauce and coconut milk. On arrival, they looked suspiciously similar. Pointing to the Thai dish, we asked the waitress if that was the red curry sauce one, and she said yes.

After tasting, we confirmed that both dishes were in the same thin, brown sauce. There was no trace of red curry sauce or coconut milk at all. The only difference was chicken-rice in one dish and tofu-noodles in the other. Their taste was unremarkable.

Considering the price (nearly $20 per dish) and what we got, it was a disappointing experience that we instantly regretted. We won't be going back.

UPDATE IN REPLY TO OWNER'S RESPONSE: "First of all we are not Chinese Restaurant !! Second of all go !!!!"

I understand your frustration at the negative review, however you should be more frustrated that a paying customer had such a poor experience at your establishment. Take the criticism in stride and strive to do better. My review is not the only negative one here saying the same thing.

If anyone should be frustrated, it's my party who paid for the lousy meal and tipped well anyway. Furthermore, I never said your restaurant was Chinese. I said we felt like having Chinese food and...

This place is a staple whenever I travel to granby Quebec, from the service to the freshness of each dish I order, I’ve been coming here once or twice a year when I visit granby or make a pit stop when I travel towards Sherbrooke. I mainly have the same order every time, which starts with a curry noodle soup, the spring roll ( which is probably the best spring roll I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of spring rolls during all my traveling ;)..) I get the dinner chicken/beef/shrimp dinner with rice. Perfect combination of everything I like on one plate. Also the hot plate with seafood, it’s perfect you get all the veggies you want to eat plus calamari and tiger shrimp. This time around I also tried the general tao chicken for the first time👌(amazed at the different flavors that hit the palette with this dish) Every single time I leave satisfied, full and happy, but at the same time sad that I’m going back to Toronto and won’t have it until the next time I travel to this part of granby. All in all I recommend you try this local gem that’s been around since forever. You won’t be...

The worst experience I’ve ever had. We came to Montreal to visit the zoo. We are English speakers and were treated so poorly because of it. From the moment we walked in the door and they found out we spoke English we were treated rudely. They had no English menus so we translated a lot on our phone. When we ordered we made sure to be as clear as possible. The wrong food was brought to us twice, when we tried to say that she just huffed at us and walked away. The second time after being ignored and disrespected for 20 mins we decided to pack up our food and leave, but said we weren’t paying for the one dish that we didn’t order and wouldn’t eat. She made us pay 90$ for two meals and one appetizer and then as we announced our displeasure, she demanded we give her a tip. I cannot believe we were treated the way we were simply for speaking English. Absolutely a shameful business and they should all be disgusted with themselves. The food we did get was greasy, soggy, and there were...
