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.

The food is great. But I recently ordered the dobis crispy spicy Chicken from uber eats & it's a total scam. I have ordered from this place multiple times. & they used to give you these huge pieces of drumsticks & thighs. Now it's'7' wings for the same price! & the'seven' wings aren't seven. 1 wing is a drumette, a flat & a wing tip. They split it in 2 & they call it 2 wings & they cut the wing tip. So you get 3.5 wings, not 7.
Edited after store reply:
Yeah it's a scam because you're using the same image of the drumsticks as you use for the wings. & you no longer have the'bone in blah blah' listed. & & they were never called'Bone in chicken'. You literally just added'wings' to the end of the title. They were the same price. & I have pictures to prove it. You even kept the other description but changed the name! As you can see from my order in 2021 they were 15$ same name'Crispy Spicy Chicken. & then today Crispy Spicy Chicken wings 14.95! Oooh not the same 5 cents less, lmao. I included your responses in my pictures so people have context. I ordered from you 100s of time! Dont play me.
Edit edit:
Bet. I'll see you soon 👍 Since you seem to not understand how misleading or a'scam' it is, I posted another picture of it showing that I'ordered last year' but that order from last year was NOT WINGS. Yes, I've ordered a 100 times for you & no, I didn't read the title because I'VE ORDERED SO MUCH I THOUGHT I WAS RECEIVING THE SAME THING I ALWAYS ORDERED THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME IMAGE & DESCRIPTION & SAID THAT I ORDERED BEFORE. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS'WINGS'. In uber eats, there's a function that says'order again', that's exactly what I did & then received something different from what I ordered last time. You literally changed one thing about the listing & kept everything else the same.

I bought some fried chicken & I find it was overpriced for the pieces that i got, $18.00 for three drumsticks three other small pieces chicken , no thighs, the chicken taste good but the pieces that I got are not worth the price..
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.

Amazing Filipino comfort food. The flavours, quality, portion, & price were excellent. The staff were friendly, & the the dining area was simple yet cozy.
Once a place to experience the Philippines without having to travel there the prices have gone up considerably & the portions gone down & the quality of food is not what you should get for what you now pay. Sad to see a place I once loved & frequented I now wouldn't go back. I want to update the review because Peter the manager reached out & showed a tremendous amount of care & took the time to respond & reach out on a personal level. I will judge not on the last 2 times I will judge for what the restaurant has always been in the past.

Expensive. The only worth it is the Fried Calamares. The Beef Goto is not delicious. You will really taste the msg. The egg is only half for the price or 12$+++!!? The Pancit Bihon is too small for the price the ingredients are so few. Too expensive. It doesn't have any shrimp or chicken. Just noodles & tiny bits of vegetables.
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.
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.😓
