Lanterne Rouge — Restaurant in Quebec

Hiii!!! I’m Chinese and from Montreal, and let me tell you — I’ve been desperately searching for real, authentic Chinese food in Quebec for the past 3 years while studying here… and I FINALLY found it!!! My fiancé chatted with the staff in Cantonese, and right away we could feel the authenticity — the warmth, the vibe, the little unspoken things that only real Chinese spots have. And the food? Absolutely incredible. Every bite tasted like home. The front of the restaurant might not stand out or scream “come in” — but honestly, that’s exactly why it’s so Chinese. It’s always the humble-looking places that serve the most soul-soothing, real-deal meals. I’m 1000% coming back. This is the kind of place you tell your friends about and hope it stays...

Found this restaurant on Yelp searching for Chinese restaurants near our hotel. Not a fancy place so I was taken aback at first by the prices that seemed high to me. We were already here so we ordered and took the food to eat in our hotel room. Well, we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the portion sizes. We got Kung Pao Chicken, Singapore style noodles and beef Lo mein The stand out dish was the Beef Lo Mein. It had such a great flavor. We wanted to go back for lunch Saturday just for the beef Lo mein but when we went to order, we found out they (and all the other Chinese restaurants in the area) don't open until 4:00pm...

For take out order, this restaurant charges 20% tips directly from the POS machine without informing customer about the tip charge, it is the first time I meet such restaurant. Usually it should prompt customer to pay 10%, 15%, 20% or no tips on the POS.

What a shame!!!

The food price is also higher than the other similar Chinese restaurants.

About the food taste, it is not good as well, should be lower than the average Chinese restaurants.

I will never go back...
