Nouilles de Lan Zhou, Chinese noodle restaurant in Montreal, Canada
Nouilles de Lan Zhou is a Chinese noodle restaurant in Montreal that focuses on hand-pulled noodles made fresh to order. The noodles come in different thicknesses and are served in broth with a choice of meat or vegetables.
The cooking method behind the menu was developed over many generations in the Chinese city of Lanzhou, where hand-pulling noodles became a recognized craft. This tradition was carried from there to North America and is still practiced here today.
The name refers to Lanzhou, a city in northwestern China where this style of noodle has long been a daily staple. Eating here gives a sense of how the dish is served and eaten in its place of origin.
Most dishes are affordable, which makes this a good choice for a straightforward meal without spending much. You can eat in or order to take away, so it works well whether you are in a hurry or not.
The noodles are pulled from a single piece of dough into long, elastic strands right in front of diners, using only the cook's hands. The process is quick and the result depends entirely on the skill built up through years of daily practice.
