Le Chien Fumant

Nous allons au chien fumant depuis plus de 5-6 ans et sommes généralement très satisfaits. Malheureusement, lors de notre dernière visite, le service a été plus que désagréable. La serveuse exerçait une pression constante afin que nous finissions nos plats. Ces derniers étaient déposés brusquement sur la table et ramassés avant même que nous ayons terminé. Extrêmement déplaisant.

One of the best-kept secrets in MTL. Maksim is a boss. The staff is all so friendly, and the food is the stuff of dreams.

Nous avons réservé une table et lors de la réservation, on nous a mentionné que nous avions 2 heures pour manger avant la nouvelle réservation. Or, ous avons pratiquement été mis dehors après une heure quinze... pour une autre table. Le service a été très expéditif. Tout à fait décevant et inacceptable.

Restaurant idéal pour célébrer, souper en amoureux, aller manger tard après le travail ou pour avoir du plaisir et dorloter ses papilles gustatives, le tout pour un rapport qualité/prix merveilleux. Un des meilleurs restaurant à Montréal! Service impeccable, grande sélection de vins.

Memorable! Ambian...

Memorable! Ambiance et nourriture exquise. :D

Worst restaurant experience as a Montrealer

Despite reading recent negative reviews, I decided to finally try out Le Chien Fumant against my better judgement. What struck me first was that it was empty for Sunday brunch. Brunch in Montreal is usually synonymous with long lines and high volume. One table of customers was being served while the rest of the staff awkwardly loitered at the bar. When we were ready to order, I asked if my eggs can be done "over easy", to which the waitress responded that they are done sunny side up. Confused, I asked whether the chef can flip the spatula and turn over the egg, to create an over easy egg. The waitress came back and said that the restaurant "does not have the equipment" to do my eggs over easy (sarcasm noted). Meanwhile, an unshaven and disheveled-looking manager and kitchen staff at the bar stared at our table, smirking, and seemed to enjoy watching our confused reaction. It was very awkward and we felt like we were being attacked. Needless to say, we walked out after the snide remark from our server, as we have never been treated so rudely in a restaurant setting. Nobody stopped us from leaving nor apologized. I understand a chef that does not want to change his cooking method, but I will never condone the staff of a restaurant treating patrons with sarcasm and disrespect. An establishment that is this small, empty, and off the beaten path should be very weary of letting a customer walk out with such a bad taste in their mouth. You've received an onslaught of negative reviews recently (particularly for service), and it is now blatantly obvious why. Word of mouth is a POWERFUL THING, and we will make sure to do our utmost to dissuade family, friends, and colleagues from funding your unmerited arrogance. As a Montrealer and food lover, I can easily say this was the worst restaurant experience in my own city.

Chien Fumant is Definitely worth a try!

This is a brand new restaurant that delivers on great food and wine. I particularly enjoyed the scallop cerviche and the churros-the churros are simply the best I've had in Montreal! Warm and cool ambiance and best of all, service is impeccable - the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and shows great appreciation for their customers!
