Cuisine De Manille est largement reconnue pour sa cuisine philippine authentique et savoureuse, offrant une atmosphère accueillante et chaleureuse qui rappelle le confort de la maison à de nombreux clients. Les visiteurs soulignent fréquemment la générosité des portions, des plats incontournables comme le Halo Halo et les divers plateaux, ainsi que la grande amabilité du personnel, souvent salué pour son service attentionné. Bien que la majorité des convives rapportent une expérience très positive marquée par la qualité et la convivialité, certains commentaires notent des irrégularités occasionnelles dans la texture ou l'assaisonnement des plats, ainsi que des préoccupations concernant les prix et le service lors des heures de pointe. Malgré ces quelques critiques, ce restaurant demeure une destination prisée à Montréal pour ceux qui recherchent des saveurs traditionnelles dans un cadre intime et agréable.
Cuisine de Manille is a fantastic spot if you're looking for flavorful & authentic Filipino food. The service was quick, efficient, & friendly, which made the experience even better. The restaurant itself is more casual with only a few tables available, & they do not take reservations, but it still feels welcoming & comfortable. The food was the highlight of the visit, everything we ordered was incredibly delicious, rich in flavor, & clearly made with care. The portion sizes are also very generous for the price you pay, making it excellent value overall. I would definitely go back to try even more dishes from their menu.
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 $57 taxes & tip included with 2 classic dishes,fried belly pork & a pork blood stew with rice & pickles. The belly pork has crispy skin but the meat part is mostly fat & the stew my companion brought it home as a left-over. There ,he did a much needed make-over by adding some vinegar to kill the metallic gameness from the blood & only then did it taste the authentic delicious dinuguan it should be in the first place. If they slash their prices by about 25% perhaps I think the place can attract more crowd & increase their staying probability now there are so many (& counting) competitions in the vicinity offering same ethnic cuisine.
The food is great. But I recently ordered the dobis crispy spicy Chicken from uber eats & it's a total scam. I have ordered from this place multiple times. & they used to give you these huge pieces of drumsticks & thighs. Now it's'7' wings for the same price! & the'seven' wings aren't seven. 1 wing is a drumette, a flat & a wing tip. They split it in 2 & they call it 2 wings & they cut the wing tip. So you get 3.5 wings, not 7.
Edited after store reply:
Yeah it's a scam because you're using the same image of the drumsticks as you use for the wings. & you no longer have the'bone in blah blah' listed. & & they were never called'Bone in chicken'. You literally just added'wings' to the end of the title. They were the same price. & I have pictures to prove it. You even kept the other description but changed the name! As you can see from my order in 2021 they were 15$ 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.
