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.

1st time : I had the 3 salads & garlic fried rice. They were all delicious. The staff are so sweet & the space is chill with good music selections
2nd time: I had the veggie lumpia Shanghai & they were great
3rd time: I usually eat vegan but I made an exception & ordered the calamari. The batter was light & flavourful & the calamari seemed to be good quality. Was defs worth the exception

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!
First time at this restaurant! Super service, very friendly, the food was amazing! Thank you, we will definitely comr again & recommend it to everyone.
We ordered a platter for 2 adult & 2 kids & it was delicious.
Best Filipino food i've had outside of church, my mom & tita's homes & the islands themselves!! Ordered two platters & they were excellent & the staff were super kind!! highly recommend this place definitely the best filipino restaurant in Montreal. ingat ka :)
Amazing place! First time trying Filipino food & it was delicious. We split 2 platters between 6 people & tried as many things as we could, every part of it was great. The staff was also super friendly, thank you!
Ordered food for 6 adults, great food & portions. Everything was delicious. Just hard finding street parking on Victoria Street. Look for side streets for parking.

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.

I have ordered a couple times using UberEats & chose to celebrate with my family in the restaurant, I learned that was more an order/pick up Filipino restaurant.
I wanted to try their food as fresh as possible for my birthday & that staff accommodated with a very friendly service! (Thank you m for your food & hospitality)
My group ordered their special menu : kabayan platter & some appetizers. It was all delicious. Freshly prepared & tastes fantastic. Service is efficient & friendly. I will be back 👍🏽👍🏽
Cuisine de Manille is a solid spot for legit Filipino food! We had the kamayan feast, & it was hands down the best way to enjoy everything they offer. Grilled meats, seafood, veggies, & rice, all laid out on banana leaves for the ultimate feast. The flavors were on point, & eating with our hands made it even more fun! The staff is super friendly, & the vibe is relaxed. If you're visiting, definitely go for the kamayan experience-it's a must-try!

Ordered lumpiang shanghai, leche flan, & bikol express for take-out. They forgot to include the leche flan in my order. I had to take a 45 minute commute back there the next day. I wasn't a fan of the packaging for the leche flan because it wasn't sufficiently sealed for someone who commutes, so the caramel sauce spilled all over my paper bag. The food tasted as expected but felt overpriced for the quality/experience.
Belle découverte à Montréal! Service rapide, employés serviables & amicaux. On a beaucoup aimé les plats commandés, particulièrement le Adobo. Pour 2 personnes, 2 plats & 2 entrées étaient plus que suffisants pour être complètement repus. Ambiance de style cantine, avec une déco simple mais sympathique.
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.
Découverte du jour ! & agréablement surpris par ce restaurant qui propose un voyage culinaire au coeur des Philippines 🇵🇭 🥳 ! Le repas est excellent & je vous recommande fortement le Plateau Kamayan !
