Keung Kee’s inconspicuous second-floor entrance in Chinatown belies its status as a standardbearer for Cantonese food in Montreal. Renowned for its seafood, it serves as a great spot for festive gatherings. The decor might be understated, but the cuisine is anything but: With an extensive menu, discerning diners often scan neighboring tables for inspiration and shouldn’t be shy about asking for the chef’s recommendations. Signature dishes such as lobster noodles, clams in black bean sauce, and steamed razor clams with vermicelli and fried garlic all come highly recommended. Don’t miss the Peking duck, served in a three-course extravaganza, and the steamed whole tilapia, either. With its late-night hours and ample portions, Keung Kee is a go-to destination for comforting yet refined food and a break from culinary monotony.
