Christophe Jiu Long Yu has been in Montreal for three years now. The Chongqing-born ITHQ graduate loves the city and his life here, But there’s something he’s doing his best to change.
“Chinese food is always evolving in China,” he says. “But not in Montreal. It’s outdated.”
Current restaurant culture in China is on a scale unimaginable to people who’ve never experienced it, especially considering that private (vs. state owned) restaurants didn’t even exist fifty years ago. Expertise in cooking was rebuilt from scratch after traditions disappeared in waves of political upheaval. Now, from farm-to-table to fast food empires, Peking duck to snail noodles, China is a dining paradise at every price point.
Montreal, with a Chinese restaurant scene largely predominated by legacy restaurants in a fading Chinatown, has yet to catch up.
