About

CHAI-YO delivers a strictly plant-based exploration of authentic Thai culinary traditions within a contemporary setting. The menu centers on traditional aromatic herbs, house-made curry pastes, and fresh seasonal vegetables to replicate the complex flavor profiles found in Southeast Asian street food. Diners encounter a focused selection of noodle dishes, fragrant soups, and spicy stir-fries crafted entirely without animal products. Every preparation emphasizes the balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy notes characteristic of the region. The interior environment prioritizes a clean, minimalist aesthetic that allows the vibrant colors of the ingredients to serve as the primary visual focus. This establishment operates with a commitment to sustainable, plant-forward cooking techniques while maintaining high standards for ingredient sourcing and preparation consistency throughout its rotating seasonal menu offerings.

Surprisingly walked past this 100% plant based restaurant in Montreal & knew we had to try it!

Flavourful, delicious, & lots of great options - we tried the Kao Kra Pao (with the powders they provided it was spicy & great flavour) & the chai-yo sandwich 93 which was also great! Thai iced tea to go with our meals.

We would've come back again if it wasn't our last day in Montreal. Will be back for sure!

Highly attentive staff despite being the only person managing all customers. Although it was a week day & a bit late for lunch. The food was very tasty & felt authentic. Decided to get their lunch combo specials. One was Kai Kra Pao & the other was Pad See Ew. Both were super tasty. The server was kind to customize it. Also got a lemon cake for dessert & it was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend visiting this place if you are in Montreal.
