Cuisine De Manille est largement reconnu comme une destination de choix à Montréal pour sa cuisine philippine authentique et savoureuse, proposant un menu qui met en vedette des plats incontournables comme le halo-halo, le porc adobo et les plateaux de kamayan à partager. De nombreux convives apprécient la générosité des portions, le service chaleureux et amical, ainsi que l'atmosphère conviviale qui en fait une option privilégiée tant pour les habitués que pour ceux qui découvrent cette gastronomie. Bien que la grande majorité des clients louent la constance de la qualité et la passion culinaire de l'établissement, certains commentaires soulignent des variations dans la texture de certains plats, des préoccupations concernant l'excès de gras ou les prix, ainsi que des défis de communication lors d'événements spéciaux.

This is hands down the best Filipino restaurant I have tried & I tell you I have tried MANY mostly in Mississauga & a few in Toronto. We only came to Montreal for a day tour & started to crave for Halo Halo. We looked up for Filipino restaurants near where we are but every one of them were more than 10Km away. Thank God for the all day train pass & we literally went super excited to get to Cuisine De Manille 8 stops later. We ordered a must broth of Spare Ribs Sinigang to match the Cebu Lechon, a Kare Kare & Goat Kaldereta were added as well as a small plate of Cassava Cake. Ofcourse the Halo Halo as our dessert.
The Pork Sinigang was the bomb with the sourness that perfectly meets what we have wanted for a Sinigang to taste like! We were also impressed with the crispiness of the Cebu Lechon & thought that was it, but then we tried the Goat Caldereta & we were instantly fans! We totally forgot about touching the Cebu Lechon after that Goat Caldereta sauce touched our palate! The Kare Kare according to my friend was nothing extra ordinary, the Cassava Cake wasn't sweet which is a good thing. It was just right. We were just too full slurping that heaven sent Pork Sinigang broth I barely touched the spare ribs but still ate one & it was good, then back again to the broth! The serving was good enough for 2-3 people to share but because it tastes so good, I would recommend to limit it to 2 so you won't fight over it in the end. The Sinigang was also packed with lots of veggies. The goat Caldereta was the highlight of our late lunch, it was unforgettable & we were trying to figure out how the sauce was made & maybe we can try cooking it at home but meh! I don't think so! It's too special to even attempt to duplicate it. The Halo Halo was fantastic full of ingredients & refreshing for a hot day. Overall this restaurant is something every tourist MUST visit. It is small but enough to hold batches of starving locals & tourists alike. We saw foreigners taking home party trays & that made us proud. I rated 4 stars for the service because we had to request for the serving spoons, we were given platitos instead of full plates so my rice were falling off, I need space for all that deliciousness to contain! Also the napkins were a bit scarce. But the food is the most important thing.
I hope they put up another branch in Mississauga or Toronto (I can uber eats if it's gonna be in Toronto). Whoever is your chef(s), sir/ma'am, hats off to you! The best Filipino food ever, ever, ever! Ever. 🤤❣?🍽?
Nothing innovative ,no elevated quality in the dishes - just simple,home cooking that any amateur can do in his kitchen. We (there's 2 of us) spent $57 taxes & tip included with 2 classic dishes,fried belly pork & a pork blood stew with rice & pickles. The belly pork has crispy skin but the meat part is mostly fat & the stew my companion brought it home as a left-over. There ,he did a much needed make-over by adding some vinegar to kill the metallic gameness from the blood & only then did it taste the authentic delicious dinuguan it should be in the first place. If they slash their prices by about 25% perhaps I think the place can attract more crowd & increase their staying probability now there are so many (& counting) competitions in the vicinity offering same ethnic cuisine.
We had a great experience at Cuisine de Manille in Montreal!
We chose this place because of the good Google reviews, & it definitely lived up to them. We ordered the kamayan platter, & it was absolutely delicious - it really reminded me of a traditional'boodle fight' back in the Philippines.
The platter included garlic fried rice, chicken BBQ, pork BBQ, calamari, ensaladang talong, & atchara - everything was flavorful & well-prepared. The presentation was also beautifully done.
What made it even more special was the atmosphere. The walls are decorated with Filipino memorabilia & even a framed news clip from when they first opened (around 2004, I believe). It really gives you that feeling of home.
We left feeling so full & happy. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, & it's one of the places I recommend to anyone craving authentic Filipino food in Montreal.

We ordered food for delivery good for three person & tried the calamari, pork lechon, lumpia, fried chicken, & ensaladang talong.
Unfortunately, the calamari was very disappointing. It looked like leftovers-just a very small squid, poorly coated & not properly fried. We took one bite & had to throw it away. If this had been served while dining in, we would have returned it. It also did not match how it appeared on the menu.
The pork lechon was also unpleasant. The smell of the meat suggested it may have come from an uncastrated boar, which gave it a strong, off-putting odor.
The lumpia was acceptable, & my husband was able to eat it along with the fried chicken.
However, I personally did not enjoy the chicken due to its smell, which seemed like it may have been cooked in old oil.
The only dish I truly enjoyed was the ensaladang talong, along with the rice.
Overall, this experience was disappointing, especially considering the variety of dishes we ordered.
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.
