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.
Cuisine De Manille earns praise for authentic Filipino flavors, generous portions, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere with a variety of dishes that are often described as flavorful and comforting. The kamayan feast and tasting platters are a standout, offering a communal way to sample the menu, and the finger foods like fried chicken and pork items are frequently highlighted. Service is repeatedly noted as friendly and accommodating, and the space is described as clean and cozy, with staff going the extra mile in many instances. Some reviews mention consistency issues and value concerns, including dishes that feel oily or one note, items missing from special menus, higher prices for comparable portions, cold rice, and packing or napkin shortages, especially for takeout or busy times. Takeout and catering receive strong praise for reliability and presentation, with catering being a popular option for parties and celebrations. 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.
Once a place to experience the Philippines without having to travel there the prices have gone up considerably & the portions gone down & the quality of food is not what you should get for what you now pay. Sad to see a place I once loved & frequented I now wouldn't go back. I want to update the review because Peter the manager reached out & showed a tremendous amount of care & took the time to respond & reach out on a personal level. I will judge not on the last 2 times I will judge for what the restaurant has always been in the past.
Nice little comfy & lovey filippino resto... vibrant flavors of Philippine authentic cuisine-a tribute reflected in its name. Delicious food, we'll definitely be back for more.

The wings are to die for… I made one order & then went back & made a second because they were that good. The crisp, the sweetness,the hint of spice… seasoned to perfection. Hard to find in the city, truly. The service is outstanding & friendly. I will continue to support this establishment because I can tell they care & the quality is consistent. Special shout out, Michael:)
Cuisine de Manille catered my husband's 40th birthday & the food was an absolute hit! Everyone was asking where they could order more from. The communication was clear, timely. Everything was perfect & I wouldn't hesitate to use them again!
Amazing food! Quick responses to inquiries. I inquired about having 7 dishes for my birthday. They were kind enough to answer & recommended portion sizes. Everyone loved everything but the chicken inasal, kare-kare, & pancit were the biggest hit! Portion sizes were more than what I expected.
I appreciate that they accomodated my order despite the restaurant being closed because they already have 2 events that day. They accomodated allergies as well. Amazing customer service! Would definitely order again.
AMAZING authentic Filipino food. I came there with my girlfriend & had the sisig, palabok, & halo-halo for dessert! AMAZING! I was actually born in the Philippines & had these dishes before, & eating here felt like home! Definitely recommend coming here!! We're also visiting from Massachusetts!! Definitely will be going back if we go back to Montreal!
I haven't tried much filipino food. This place provides me a great experience with the filipino food. I really love sisig. Palabok also tastes good.( salty ). The spicy chicken is sweet & not that spicy spicy. Cute decoration. But the weather is super hot & inside is so hot. Paid streer parking in front of the restaurant.
Delicious Filipino meal. I never really had a real filipino food before, only had the palabok from Jolliebee so I did not know what to expect when I go to the real filipino restaurant.
Well, turns out this place did not disappoint me at all! Everything is delicious. My fav would be the palabok. Well presented as well. Thank you for making the good food!!
The pork belly was really dry. The calamari a real disappointment for my a lover of calamari. The chicken was flavourless… The only good thing were the pork items.. the rest, wasn't for me. I invite people to try but you could be disappointed:( & it was too expensive for what it was….
I really wish i liked everything because i was really craving some Filipino food.
