Montreal's dumpling range reflects the breadth of its immigrant communities. Chinese xiao long bao with soup inside, Polish pierogi stuffed with potato and cheese, Georgian khinkali, and Vietnamese banh bao all exist in the same city. Chinatown is the densest pocket for Chinese dumplings, but some of the best spots are scattered across the Plateau, Rosemont, and CDN. Handmade matters here. The places that fold and fill their dumplings by hand, in the kitchen where you can sometimes watch, are always the ones worth finding.
