Great dumplings. Are filled with broth, giving them a lot of flavour. Definitely a local favorite, and at a very reasonable price. Bad decor, but thats part of the charm.

The best microbrewery in Montreal. Try the Aphrodisiac - a delicious chocolate stout. actually, scratch that, try everything. But maybe over several trips as they can be a little on the strong side.
