Inside Restaurant Impérial (Pointe-Claire)
Restaurant Impérial in Pointe-Claire offers a straightforward, casual take on Cantonese-style Chinese dining that caters well to both group gatherings and family meals. Located just off the Trans-Canada Highway, the space is large and functional with plenty of parking nearby—though finding a spot can sometimes be a bit of a challenge during busier times. Inside, expect a single, open dining area that fills with ambient noise when crowded, making it less ideal for intimate conversations, but it’s perfect for lively group meals.
The menu highlights a mix of traditional Cantonese dishes and dim sum favorites served fresh and hot. Signature plates like the Imperial Double Boiled Salted Range Chicken and Cantonese-style crispy noodles stand out for those seeking familiar flavors with a bit of refinement. If dim sum is your focus, the restaurant’s offerings range from classic dumplings like Xiaolong Bao to more unique items such as peanut butter dumplings and assorted BBQ platters. The dim sum window from late morning to mid-afternoon brings a bustling mid-day crowd, making it an active spot for weekend brunch or casual lunch outings.
Ordering is streamlined via a QR code system, which helps keep things moving smoothly, though it does mean you’ll need to ask separately for utensils or water. Service tends to be polite but can be a little slow to respond when the restaurant is busy, especially about additional requests like sauces and condiments. For those using the space for special occasions, Restaurant Impérial offers private rooms and even projection equipment, which, along with accommodating staff, makes it a popular choice for local events such as wedding dinners.
Visitors who enjoy generous portion sizes and classic preparations of Cantonese favorites will find this spot satisfying. It’s particularly well-suited for groups looking to share a variety of dishes. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, though practical rather than polished, reflecting a focus on food and communal dining over formal experience. Overall, it’s a dependable place to enjoy hearty Chinese meals near Pointe-Claire’s shopping hubs and residential neighborhoods.
