The food is soooooo good! We ordered grilled chicken with eggplant dip & also their house-made sausage. I'm Thai, I would prefer my dishes to be extra spicy but other than that everything was just perfect. The drink I ordered is so good. I can taste a hint of melon in it. The staff is very friendly, even the chef greeted us at the table. Great job to the whole team. I will definitely be back. 👍🏼
One of my absolute favourite restaurants in Montreal! Truly incredible Thai food, in a wonderfully welcoming environment. The staff are so friendly & knowledgeable, & the owner, Mathieu, is lovely. I recommend starting with some skewers (chicken satay & shrimp are favourites of mine!), then getting the pad Thai with pork belly & pad pak with some chicken wings, & washing it all down with a refreshing & delicious Cha Yen. & if it's in season the mango sticky rice is to die for.

We walked into this restaurant looking for a late night snack. We lovedthe service, & chicken wings! Delicious! Also the server was so hospitable & kind:)
Went for the Mtl a Table event. The menu consisted of 2 appetizers, main & dessert, for $50. While the flavors were good, the portions were ridiculously small. My main was 3 little scallops in sauce, no veggies (unless you count the garnish) & no rice. I honestly don't know who would be full after such a main. The appetizers were small too, but I figured that's ok cuz they're appetizers. The salmon tartare was finished in 2 bites. The chicken coconut soup was 1/4 of the bowl full. Luckily I had the mango sticky rice for dessert & got some rice there. The other dessert was also very small, coconut cream in two little disks. Leaving still hungry after paying $50 is not good value in my books.
Came here for a nice late night dinner for 4
& had a great time. The skewer deal for 5 was perfect to share - pork, chicken, & shrimp options, with the pork being our favourite.
Oysters were small but only $1 & topped with fried shallots & a creamy green garlic sauce to die for 🤤. Service was excellent (Pascale & the team gave great recommendations).
Loved the setup - outdoor seating available, & inside has a cozy vibe with big open windows.
Surprised it wasn't busier for a Wednesday because the food, atmosphere, & staff were all on point. We'll be coming back, merci!
Great Thai tavern, small bites, Satay's are amazing, maybe best Thai chicken wings I've had, curries, pad Thai, papaya salad all excellent. Good vib music, drinks & wine, & small 8oz beers.

Visited this Thai restaurant on Sunday night, Parking was a hassle, & when we arrived at 8:00 PM, the place was empty, which almost made us leave. But we decided to stay & try it out.
We ordered fried pork belly, beef, & fried chicken salad. The pork belly was great, crispy with a tangy dipping sauce. The beef & chicken salad were not bad, both sweet & spicy but tasted pretty similar.
We also tried the mango sticky rice, which was very sweet - sweeter than what I had in Bangkok, with a lot of condensed milk. It seems this place leans toward a sweeter flavor profile.
The place feels more like a bar than a restaurant, with smaller portions that are better for sharing & having drinks. The inside had an odd smell, like it needed some maintenance, maybe sitting outside would be better?
Every dish was exceptionally delicious, starting with the housemade mignonette for the oysters, which was out of this world. The Pad Thai was amazing, boasting incredible flavor & the perfect level of spice. We also loved the skewers-both pork & chicken were juicy & flavorful.
Another highlight was the delicious sausage with coriander, which had a unique taste that we couldn't resist.
We were blown away by the wonderful & creative cocktails.
For dessert, the sticky rice with mango was superb. SUPERB. -we couldn't stop eating it, even whIile already completely full 😅
On top of the incredible food & drinks, the daily beer special ($2.75 for a 6-oz lager), & Wednesday's $1 oysters, made for fantastic deals.
Service was super fast & friendly, making the overall experience even better. We had a wonderful; we highly suggest you go!
Usually you can't go wrong with Thai food ... but the papaya salad had a very strong fishy taste (beyond just the usual fish sauce), perhaps too many dried shrimps in it. We had meatballs, sausage, fried rice & the chicken satay skewers. Not too bad, but some of the dishes were salty.
Service was okay, nothing exceptional. But most upsetting is the non-compliance to the new Bill 72. The 15% tipping option was off the bottom line & not the'before tax'. Only realized after we walked out from looking at the bill because you barely have time to check the pinpad while its waiting for the payment card to be tapped. Had high expectations, but likely not returning.
CUP MTL is the spot to BE! My siblings & I came here for dinner with a friend on our last day visiting Montréal. They were a vibe! Food was top tier! Anything you order will make you feel satisfied. What we ordered: fried chicken which was fried & flavored to perfection; Shrimp Pad Thai had perfect sweetness & shrimp was great texture. Curry noodle soup was so flavorful! Sea bass soft & delicious. The owners were so sweet & welcoming. The chef was so sweet, you will love her!!! Very authentic Thai restaurant. You won't forget your experience here. Go!!

Feels more like a bar than a restaurant, with a hint of stale beer lingering & dim lighting that made it hard to see. I had to use my phone's flashlight to read the menu. We were excited to try this Thai pub, but the main dishes-chicken curry & pork belly-At $25 & $28, were pricey for what came as small portions & nothing particularly memorable. No ustensiles served we had to dig into a pot on the table to find forks & spoon ( no knifes). Luckily, the tapas section saved the night As we were still starving we ordered Satays & a Poutine: At $10, they offered similar portion sizes without the rice & cucomber slices & were much better value. Drinks were also well-priced & a good deal. Overall, I'd say skip the mains, go for drinks & tapas instead!
Very, very mediocre. Every dish was just okay. Apple papaya salad had enormous chunks of apple. Pad thai had almost no noodles?! Chicken massaman was two chicken legs with two rock hard slices of potato. Yikes. It's a cute patio for a drink but the food just isn't it.
We were a table of 6, & they messed up 3 out of the 6 dishes. Not removing the shrimp from the papaya salad & giving it to a vegetarian, not bringing the tofu until the end of the meal even though it was asked for 4 times. The market fish was not worth the price. There was & insane amount of cartilage in the Chicken masasama, & the over all opinion was that it was tasteless, no flavor, & will not come back again.
I wont hurt it with a poor star rating but i just want to voice my despair on the loss of the legendary Eduardo Duluth restaurant. I hope the new business does well but man... to have one more chicken parm under the fake vines & exposed brick. In another life
