On our map. We haven't walked through the door yet — here's why it's on the list.
A family-run restaurant on Rue Notre-Dame after relocating from Place Ville-Marie, Szechuan par Mr Ma draws on 42 years of the Ma family's experience in Montréal's Chinese restaurant business. In an intimate room of white tablecloths and red lanterns, it's Mrs. Ma who greets guests and guides them through the menu, built around a whole Peking duck carved tableside and a Mongolian beef.
The restaurant runs largely on phone reservations, with no dedicated website.
Szechuan par Mr Ma is on the Regulars map — spotted, not yet visited. Our guides are written on foot, door by door, and no one pays to appear: when we walk through the door, this note will become a portrait. No points. No coupons. Standing is earned.
