To begin, the service was excellent from start to finish. Jean was attentive and thoughtful with our dietary needs and the kitchen delivered a beautifully prepared meal that was both satisfying and memorable.
Everything came together perfectly; will most definitely return

If you like great food with a neighborhood restaurant atmosphere then you’ll love this place. Not noisy, not a scene, just a chef and his crew cooking very tasty French inspired food. We were on vacation so we went for the $150 tasting menu. We didn’t know exactly how many dishes or how much food we would get but it was at least 6 courses. Nothing was in writing so we just went with our chef/host suggestions. Everything was good but I was so full at the end I couldn’t really appreciate the last course. The wines by the glass were excellent too. I would definitely come back here. We sat at the bar and watched them prepare the food. Fun!!

Le Chien Fumant is the single best restaurant in Montreal and you should go there. Friendly, competent service, delicious food and a great wine selection. I have never had anything less than a fantastic experience there.

Exceptional culinary experience
I had the immense pleasure of discovering this restaurant and I am simply delighted. As soon as you enter, the calm and cozy atmosphere transports you into a soothing setting, ideal for enjoying an exceptional meal. The service is impeccable, attentive and warm without being intrusive, which contributes to a most pleasant experience.
In terms of cuisine, it was a real treat. The razor clams, delicately arranged with caviar, were a pure delight. The sea bass, perfectly cooked and flavorful, literally melted in your mouth. And what about the braised dish accompanied by melting sauerkraut... A comforting dish rich in flavors that completely won me over.
I highly recommend this establishment to all lovers of fine gastronomy. An address not to be missed!

One of the most spectacular meals I’ve ever had. The vibes of this restaurant are amazing. Our service was outstanding and every bite of food was incredible. Every bite felt like one of the best bites ever and we’ve been talking about it for two months since we’ve been. Would definitely recommend the chef’s tasting menu because it was outstanding. We can’t wait to be back in Montreal to come back to this spot!
As we enter Q4 of 2024, look no further for indication the world has reached an absurd tipping point than the Smoking Dog. Here: a Montreal restaurant is charging $25 for a single scallop, and $25 for a single shrimp, and calling them each appetizers.
If you have worked in this business, you know a sophisticated operation's tricks to maximize revenue per table with limited floor space. Here: none of the wine on the menu have price listed by the glass. The server hovered over our table, interrupting our conversation every 2-3 minutes.
We didn't even finish the third appetizer. If it had been delicious, we would have - because we certainly weren't full.
All-in, taxes and a 15% tip came to $220. We had three 5oz glasses of wine and three "appetizers".
This place left me feeling naive and stupid for coming in - and hungry, but too sick to my stomach to want another bite.
