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.
Dans l'ensemble, les avis présentent Cuisine De Manille comme un endroit vivant et accueillant, avec des portions généreuses et une cuisine filipino authentique, où le kamayan et le service traiteur reçoivent beaucoup d'éloges pour la variété et la qualité, tandis que certains plats comme le calamari et le poulet frit peuvent être gras ou décevants et que le prix et la cohérence sont relevés par quelques clients; le service est souvent salué, l'atmosphère est propre et conviviale, et des plats tels que l'adobo, le pancit, le halo halo et le barbecue de porc sont mis en avant comme des favoris qui donnent envie de revenir.
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. 🤤❣?🍽?
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.

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 food! Quick responses to inquiries. I inquired about having 7 dishes for my birthday. They were kind enough to answer & recommended portion sizes. Everyone loved everything but the chicken inasal, kare-kare, & pancit were the biggest hit! Portion sizes were more than what I expected.
I appreciate that they accomodated my order despite the restaurant being closed because they already have 2 events that day. They accomodated allergies as well. Amazing customer service! Would definitely order again.
AMAZING authentic Filipino food. I came there with my girlfriend & had the sisig, palabok, & halo-halo for dessert! AMAZING! I was actually born in the Philippines & had these dishes before, & eating here felt like home! Definitely recommend coming here!! We're also visiting from Massachusetts!! Definitely will be going back if we go back to Montreal!

First time at this restaurant! Super service, very friendly, the food was amazing! Thank you, we will definitely comr again & recommend it to everyone.
We ordered a platter for 2 adult & 2 kids & it was delicious.
Best Filipino food i've had outside of church, my mom & tita's homes & the islands themselves!! Ordered two platters & they were excellent & the staff were super kind!! highly recommend this place definitely the best filipino restaurant in Montreal. ingat ka :)
I have ordered a couple times using UberEats & chose to celebrate with my family in the restaurant, I learned that was more an order/pick up Filipino restaurant.
I wanted to try their food as fresh as possible for my birthday & that staff accommodated with a very friendly service! (Thank you m for your food & hospitality)
I highly recommend you try their food!

Découverte du jour ! & agréablement surpris par ce restaurant qui propose un voyage culinaire au coeur des Philippines 🇵🇭 🥳 ! Le repas est excellent & je vous recommande fortement le Plateau Kamayan !
I had a great dining experience at Cuisine De Manille! The food was absolutely delicious, & every dish was flavorful. I especially enjoyed the chicken & garlic fried rice, which had a rich & satisfying taste. The caldereta was incredibly tender & packed with flavor. But the highlight for me was the leche flan-it was so creamy & indulgent, clearly made with quality ingredients. The maís con yelo was also refreshing & delicious.
The only downside was that the service was a bit slow, & we had to wait longer than expected. However, the staff was very friendly & accommodating, making the experience worth it. One small improvement I'd suggest is the gravy for the chicken-it tasted too buttery & lacked the classic gravy flavor I was expecting.
Overall, the food was amazing, the place was clean, & the atmosphere was pleasant. Despite the wait, I'd definitely come back for the quality of their dishes. Highly recommended!
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!

The guy at the cash counter, named Rey, is cute. Very gwapo 🫶🏻 But on a serious note, the food is great. The employees & service are impeccable. Highly recommend stopping by this place.
