Not only was the place spick & span, but the person who served us, Rose, was very helpful & respectful! We are from Mexico & it was the first time we had tried Filipino food. It was DELICIOUS!!! Adobo reminded me of a mole, but with pork!!! What a great experience!!! If you are looking for Filipino food, then this is the place!

Amazing Filipino comfort food. The flavours, quality, portion, & price were excellent. The staff were friendly, & the the dining area was simple yet cozy.
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.
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!

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)
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!
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.
Very consistent here in terms of food & customer service. Really good simple lumpia shanghai. Love their fried squid. Simple filipino food pretty consistent & service has been good!
