Overall, Cuisine De Manille is viewed as a solid go to for Filipino comfort food in Montreal, with multiple standouts and a lively, family friendly vibe, though some guests caution about variability and pricing.
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%!
