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.
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!

Unfortunately, I did not like my meal at Cuisine de Manille today. I had the kare-kare, & it felt very one-note. The dish had no acidity, no spice - just an oily taste from the fried pork & the peanut sauce. However, I did enjoy the garlic rice & the boiled green beans, although they were nothing to write home about.
As for the price, the menu said around $16 for my dish, but I was charged $20 (excluding taxes & the $1 extra for garlic rice). I think the menu prices should be updated to reflect that.
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.
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!

📍Kamayan
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.
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.
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.
Cuisine de Manille never disappoints! I always go for the Kamayan feast, & it's absolutely delicious & huge. From the crispy fried calamari to the flavorful BBQ pork & chicken, every dish is paired with its own sauce & sides like pickled veggies that add a nice touch. They recently changed the eggplant boat in the feast to a mashed eggplant with tomato. While it's still tasty, I personally prefer the previous version. For dessert, I always treat myself to a halo-halo. The creamy richness of the leche cake combined with the refreshing shaved ice is the perfect ending to the meal. I've tried a few other dishes, but they didn't quite suit my palate-just personal preference! Overall, the food is amazing, & the staff are super friendly. One thing to note: there's a $1 extra charge for garlic fried rice, so keep that in mind. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Happened to be next door & decided to try this place. I was so happily surprised!!! The staff was super kind & made a perfect recommendation for me having never been there or tried Filipino food before. Their pork adobo is beyond delicious. I will definitely be going back on the regular. Reasonably priced for portions as well. Taste homemade & nice presentation. I also got an Okoy (veggie pancake fritter) which was equally delicious!! Really worth trying & I'm excited to explore the rest of their menu.
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.
We ordered three dishes. Overall, the food was decent, & the prices were reasonable for what we received. However, the service follows a takeaway/food court motif, so tipping is entirely up to your discretion. If you want fried rice, be aware there may be a price difference that isn't clearly communicated. The pork soup was too sour for our taste; adding water didn't help balance the flavor, as it seemed they added lemon juice before serving. The skewers were tasty, but the adobo was unremarkable, possibly because our expectations were too high.😓
I love Filipino food & this place pops off! The pancit, lumpia, lechon & pork BBQ sticks are all amazing! You will have to wait for the food to be ready but not too long. It's amazing & worth going to from Vermont!
Their fried chicken & the Dado spicy chicken are both excellent. Very juicy inside & crispy on the outside. The skin on Lechon Kawali pork belly was a little tough to eat, but I think that was due to it being deliverd at quite a distance. I am sure it's delicious if you eat it right away. Garlic rice is also very good, as was the Ensaladang Talong. Overall vey pleased with this restaurant
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.
