Chifa brings Montreal a taste of Peru’s iconic Chinese-Peruvian chifa cuisine, crafted by chef Marcel Larrea and co-owner David Dumay. Located next to their popular Nikkei spot, Tiradito, Chifa is a celebration of Larrea’s youth, designed to enjoy rich, shared plates.

The menu is thoughtfully pared down to a dozen tapas-style dishes that reinterpret chifa classics. Expect elevated versions of arroz chaufa and lomo saltado, each dish balancing bold comfort with a touch of freshness. Cocktails reflect this fusion, with inventive picks like the “Senchuwal,” a margarita spin with Chinese tea.

Designers Sarah Pelletier and David Schmidt have crafted a modern space with Incan-inspired decor, a long open bar, and intimate lighting. With room for 60, Chifa is set to charm Montreal’s downtown with its vibrant flavours, artful cocktails, and laid-back atmosphere.
