Cuisine de Manille, formerly known as Pearl of Manila, is an authentic Filipino restaurant that has been serving up traditional dishes since 2003 in Montreal.
Overall, reviews portray Cuisine De Manille as a lively, welcoming spot with generous portions and a mix of authentic Filipino dishes, where the kamayan feast and catering get strong praise for variety and quality, while some items like calamari and fried chicken are described as oily or underwhelming, and price and consistency are noted by a few diners; the service is frequently described as friendly, the atmosphere as clean and cozy, and dishes such as adobo, pancit, halo halo, and pork barbecue are highlighted as standout favorites that make many guests want to return.
We had a great experience at Cuisine de Manille in Montreal!
We chose this place because of the good Google reviews, & it definitely lived up to them. We ordered the kamayan platter, & it was absolutely delicious - it really reminded me of a traditional'boodle fight' back in the Philippines.
The platter included garlic fried rice, chicken BBQ, pork BBQ, calamari, ensaladang talong, & atchara - everything was flavorful & well-prepared. The presentation was also beautifully done.
What made it even more special was the atmosphere. The walls are decorated with Filipino memorabilia & even a framed news clip from when they first opened (around 2004, I believe). It really gives you that feeling of home.
We left feeling so full & happy. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, & it's one of the places I recommend to anyone craving authentic Filipino food in Montreal.
J'aime beaucoup commander à ce restaurant, les brochettes porc bbq & le pancit bihon miam. Cependant, le prix monte & la quantité diminue au fil des ans, décevant… Sinon ç'aurait été 5*

One of the best meals I've ever had! We tried the pork adobo & BBQ chicken inasal. Both were absolutely delicious. Big thanks to Joanne & the team for the excellent service. Can't wait to come back!
📍Kamayan
Delicious & fun! A generous spread of meats, seafood, & rice, it's perfect for sharing. We picked BBQ pork & chicken legs. The garlic rice was a bit dry, & I wish there was hot sauce for extra kick.
📍Halo-Halo
Cool & refreshing with just the right sweetness. Loved the ube & leche flan!!!
📍Honey Melon Juice
You can really taste the fresh melon! Light, fresh, & super refreshing. Great match with the meal.
However $12 per drink is a bit overpriced.
The fried chicken is also available in the sweet & spicy though there's no picture on the menu & it was amazing. We got the Kamayan platter with pork BBQ & liempo & our servers were incredibly kind & accommodating even though we got there an hour before close & they allowed my friends to film.
Had the pork BBQ, extremely tasty & well seasoned. Service was impeccable, wasn't sure what to order & the young lady at the cash helped me choose. She was so nice she even brought me a small plate of sisig, since I mentioned I'd like to try it next time. Everything was fantastic, highly recommend if you want to try Filipino food.

Cuisine de Manille never disappoints! I always go for the Kamayan feast, & it's absolutely delicious & huge. From the crispy fried calamari to the flavorful BBQ pork & chicken, every dish is paired with its own sauce & sides like pickled veggies that add a nice touch. They recently changed the eggplant boat in the feast to a mashed eggplant with tomato. While it's still tasty, I personally prefer the previous version. For dessert, I always treat myself to a halo-halo. The creamy richness of the leche cake combined with the refreshing shaved ice is the perfect ending to the meal. I've tried a few other dishes, but they didn't quite suit my palate-just personal preference! Overall, the food is amazing, & the staff are super friendly. One thing to note: there's a $1 extra charge for garlic fried rice, so keep that in mind. Highly recommend giving this place a try!
I love Filipino food & this place pops off! The pancit, lumpia, lechon & pork BBQ sticks are all amazing! You will have to wait for the food to be ready but not too long. It's amazing & worth going to from Vermont!
Unassumingly splendid! Well prepared & very diverse menu. Easy to share plates & very worth doing so. Everything that was prepared was prepared wonderfully: Delicious pork belly, succulent bbq chicken, delectable skewers. Not to be taken lightly, & I understand the simplicity, but the only component in the restaurant that I feel is worth mentioning is that everything is served in or on disposable or throw away containers. There is difficulty finding staff & so I accept the simplicity of doing this in terms of cleanup but the environmental impact associated with serving 100% of your meals & disposable trays is worth mentioning.
The food is amazing u need to try the pork bbq & fried pork the plater for 2 too shared is great it's really enough for 2 people. Loved the food will come back
My go-o spot whenever I'm craving AUTHENTIC filipino food. Great portions for the price. My husband who's non-Filipino liked their very juicy & tender pork bbq. Hits the spot everytime!

Cuisine authentique des Philippines. Nous avons commandé un plat (style buffet) & tout le monde a adoré! Il faut essayer le lechon & bbq au porc. J'y retournerai à 100%!
