Canada’s No. 1, with a Distinctly Elevated Perspective

Ranked No. 1 in the 2026 Elite 30 Canada, MOTT 32’s Vancouver and Toronto restaurants demonstrate how compelling Chinese fine dining can be when every part of the experience receives equal care. The cooking, service, drinks and design work together, giving Chinese cuisine the setting and attention it deserves.

Founded in Hong Kong, MOTT 32 brings that city’s cosmopolitan outlook to both Canadian dining rooms. Under the culinary direction of Group Chinese Executive Chef Sing Lee, the menu builds on Cantonese foundations while drawing from other regional Chinese traditions. His approach gives the restaurants a clear culinary identity, carried through by the Vancouver and Toronto kitchen teams in both the signature dishes and newer creations.

The signature Applewood Roasted Peking Duck is a centrepiece worth gathering around, while the dim sum shows the kitchen’s precision on a smaller scale. Across the menu, confident flavours and careful preparation give diners plenty to appreciate, with enough variety to build a meal around both familiar favourites and fresh discoveries.

Wine and cocktails have a meaningful place at the table, with choices that complement the range of seasoning and textures in Chinese cooking. The distinctive interiors make an immediate impression; attentive service carries the evening, helping guests feel comfortable whether they are celebrating an occasion or simply coming for a good dinner.

This first-place recognition honours a shared culinary vision and the people who deliver it in both cities. MOTT 32 sets a high standard for Chinese dining in Canada, with a clear sense of its roots and the confidence to welcome a broad, international audience.
