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.
Les avis sur Cuisine De Manille montrent une expérience majoritairement positive avec des plats authentiques et généreux comme le pancit, l'adobo et le sisig, accompagnés d'un cadre chaleureux et d'un service souvent apprécié et attentionné; le kamayan est souvent salué comme une expérience conviviale et partagée, et le choix des portions est cité comme satisfaisant par plusieurs. Des commentaires négatifs reviennent toutefois: certaines assiettes sont décrites comme grasses ou manquant d'assaisonnement ou d'acidité, les portions et les prix varient et certains estiment le rapport qualité-prix discutable, des erreurs dans les commandes ou des plats servis froids ou manquants dans des menus spéciaux, et des attentes non comblées sur certains éléments du menu, avec des remarques sur les communications à l'emporter ou lors d'événements. Malgré cela, l'ensemble des retours souligne des saveurs riches et une expérience culinaire mémorable, et de nombreux convives recommandent l'endroit pour découvrir la cuisine philippine à Montréal et revenir pour tester d'autres plats, en louant la fraîcheur, la qualité et le service.
My husband & I came here for Valentine's Day & unfortunately left a bit disappointed. We originally planned to order the Kamayan, but were told the Valentine's Day special would offer that & more. In reality, it was more expensive & felt like it offered less value as it wasn't the same items.
They had run out of the chicken & calamari (as seen in the photos online) included in the special & offered fried chicken as a replacement. It also didn't include the lumpia rolls I was really looking forward to trying. When I asked about the rolls on the platter, I was told they were just regular spring rolls. It would have been nice if this had been clearly explained when we were ordering.
Overall, we just wish there had been better communication about what was included in the Valentine's special, especially since it was a set menu. We were really looking forward to the experience & left feeling underwhelmed. On the plus side.. the pancit & adobo pork was really good.
What a cute spot! The staff was so kind & resourceful. The restaurant was super clean & well decorated. We got a tasting platter & it was great! Definitely something new to my pallet, & I recommend it to anyone else as well!

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!
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 👍🏽👍🏽
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.
We got the big platter to share, the food was good overall. It's more of a fast food than a dine in restaurant… I don't know why I tipped. The service didn't deserve the tip in my opinion.

Ordered the custom specialty platter for 2 for delivery through Uber Eats. We were so shocked at the size of the platter when we arrived. I don't eat Filipino food often, so I do not have much to compare with. My favorites were the lumpia (egg rolls), calamari, & the garlic rice. Least favorite was the egg plant as I did not like the tomato salsa stuffing. The delivery took about 40 minutes which affected the meat. The lechon especially was cold by delivery which made it really tough to chew. The chicken was alright, but would've preferred chicken skewers instead (only pork skewers are an option). Overall it was enjoyable & is a good deal meal split between 2 people. I'll have to eat in next time so I can try the food hot & fresh.
Our all time favorite Kamayan Platter, big portions always fresh & beautiful presentation. & of course the taste is 100% 😋 We always order here when we are craving for Filipino food, & we drive all the way from South Shore. Worth it as i may say 😊 Just wanna commend the lady who gave us free Leche Flan because our order was not ready when we got there because of a misunderstanding. Very nice gesture ❤️
