Restaurant Orange Rouge

"Chinese Fare with a (Huge) Twist The inspiration behind Orange Rouge's dishes is up for debate. Some might call it a spin on Chinese; some might say it's nothing like traditional Cantonese fare. Others will simply not be bothered to try, but simply return again and again. What is it about Orange Rouge that has locals lining up for a table? It is one of the restaurants in Montreal 's Chinatown worth the trek. For starters, Orange Rouge has a beautiful outdoor patio on a pedestrian street. And it also serves refreshing cuisine, with dishes like a chrysanthemum salad, sautéed squid, wild leeks, smoked tofu, and char siu braised pork, as well as some Asian-inspired cocktails."

"Orange rouge, Ville Marie by Havas Montréal. Aside from employing the nicest staff ever, Orange rouge is described as Chinatown’s best kept secret. With its generous selection of Asian-fusion dishes and beverages, the restaurant owes its inspiration to Chinese cuisine and a delicate mix of Japanese, Vietnamese and Korean flavours (much like Montreal, Orange rouge celebrates the power of diversity). Sit back and enjoy the refined, speakeasy-style ambience created by lacquered black walls and soft candlelight. Chef Minh Phat’s creations will take you on a culinary trip like never before!"

"Orange Rouge takes the word “fusion” and runs with it, far, with intriguing results, like buns with foie gras and tamarind, wontons with tzatziki, or a Korean take on tartare. At times odd, but never boring — wash it all down with a Thai-tinged mojito or Quebec microbrews. —Tim Forster" - Kaitlyn McInnis
