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.
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 guy at the cash counter, named Rey, is cute. Very gwapo 🫶🏻 But on a serious note, the food is great. The employees & service are impeccable. Highly recommend stopping by this place.
Got served by a gentleman named Rey. Being new to Filipino food, he suggested great choices & explained each item. The food was great & definitely will be coming back to try more. Great staff, great food, what more can you ask for!
Nice place to eat - standard filipino fare for MTL, with the ordinary rice + meat or stew + some salad. Bopis (lung) I had once, & enjoyed (8/10), & the other dishes are fine - dinuguaan (6/10) & adobo (7/10). Everything is presented well & the atmosphere may be one of my favorites for restaurants in this area
Food was really delicious. I ordered lechon kawali & dinuguan, it was really tasty. The garlic rice complete the dish & would probably go back to try other options. Service was excellent!
