Probably my new go-to for Filipino food. The dishes here are delicious & extremely filling. The kare kare brought me back to my grandma’s & the bulalo steak was so flavourful & addictive. Can’t wait to try more items on the menu!

I'm obsessed. I'm from Toronto & couldn't wait to try this place on my next visit to Montreal. I most certainly was not disappointed. Every bite of the OG Bulalo was delicious & the beef shank & bone marrow was no joke. My dad even said it tasted better than the one he had in the Philippines. I highly recommend this place. Love na love!

A small counter offering the most delicious filipino meal soup! Generous portions. Classic flavor with their own flare & twist. The food will please both filipinos & those who want to try filipino cuisine. They also offer dessert options & some filipino food merch from other well known filipino food spots in Montreal! Not to mention the warm service they offer as soon as you step in

Had the Pares & Kare-Kare, as well as the canteloupe drink. Both dishes were excellent! My partner & I slightly preferred the Pares, because the beef was just so tasty & flavourful. But I also really likes the Kare-Kare, which even used actual ox tail! We also had the crab rangoons which were so addictively good, we basically finished it all in one sitting. We had the food to go, & I wished the Pares had more sauce to go with it (maybe the rice absorbed most of the sauce) & the Kare-Kare came with a side of shrimp paste. That said, the food was so good we can’t wait to go back & try more of the menu! :) Highly recommend!

GREAT PLACE & GREAT FOOD. Me & my friends made a commitment to come back every 15th of the month to try the full menu & figure out what our favorite is (today is the 3rd month, I already decided that Loco Gang is the winner for me) 🤭
