About

Epicerie Pumpui delivers an uncompromising exploration of authentic Thai flavors through a menu defined by intense heat and precise aromatic balance. The kitchen specializes in traditional street food staples that highlight the pungent profile of bird eye chilies and pungent shrimp paste. Signature offerings include complex curries prepared with freshly pounded pastes and stir-fries that maintain crisp textures through high-heat wok cooking. Every dish emphasizes bold combinations of sour, sweet, salty, and spicy elements designed to challenge the palate. The space functions as an informal culinary outpost focused strictly on the integrity of its regional recipes. Diners encounter a direct, no-frills approach to Southeast Asian cooking where the quality of fresh herbs and pungent seasonings dictates the output of every single plate served from the kitchen.

Review Summary

Epicerie Pumpui is widely celebrated for its authentic, flavorful Thai cuisine, with many diners highlighting the Pad Thai, curries, and chicken wings as standout dishes. While the atmosphere is frequently described as cozy, trendy, and reminiscent of a charming corner shop, the space is undeniably cramped, often leading to long wait times and limited seating for groups. Most patrons praise the staff for being friendly and efficient, though a minority of experiences report inconsistent service and concerns regarding portion sizes relative to the price. Despite mixed opinions on the level of spice and occasional crowding, it remains a highly recommended destination for a casual, memorable meal in Montreal.

Classic, legit Thaï reconnu par la Thaïlande même. Setup style comptoir to go avec resto/terrasse à l'arrière. Le pad thaï est sur la grosse coche. Sélection d'alcool épurée, mais de qualité. Beau Merch. Ultimement pas cher pour la qualité & l'authenticité. On revient périodiquement. Hâte de regoûter au homard frit.

I love Thai food. Montreal doesn't have many good Thai food restaurants so when I saw the reviews for this place, I got excited. The food isnt bad per say... It isn't just what it says it is. The pad kra pao doesn't taste like any pad kra pao I've had before. Red curry is... Okay :). Salad was very good tho. I won't be back. But maybe other people will love it.

Ai commandé le spécial. Aucune des deux serveuses ne nous ont indiqué que le plat était piquant. C'était rempli de chilis hâchés. La serveuse n'a pas reconnu son erreur, mais elle nous a apporté des concombres. Je n'ai pas pu finir mon plat.

Came here with a friend for lunch on a Monday. The place was medium packed & there was no wait. We sat in the backyard terrasse which can be accessed by walking around the block. The terrasse comprised of 4-5 picnic tables under umbrellas on a gravel driveway (nothing romantic). We ordered the green curry, the special of the moment (which was a cornish hen on a bed of cabbage with a papaya salad on the side) & shared the cabbage salad. We ordered these on the recommendation of our waitress, who was excellent & friendly. Everything was extremely tasty & felt very authentic. The dipping sauce for the cornish hen was punishingly spicy. I felt it for days afterwards. If you like & can handle spice, then this dish is for you. Overall, I'm very happy to have tried this place as it embodies what I think is so incredible about Montreal food. These small, hidden away places that pack incredible flavors is what this city is about.

Pour quelqu'un qui déteste la coriandre, immangeable! Chaque plat son infesté de coriandre & il n'est m'entioner nul part la présence de coriandre. Ni c'elle des arachides d'ailleurs. Sinon, le plats était bon mais salé. Les cuisiniers ne portaient aucun filet à cheveux mais foulard. Les serveuses n'étaient pas professionnelles, elles portaient chandail bédaine & pentalon trouer. Les serveuse ne son pas venu nous demander si tout était correct & franchement, vue tout les beau commentaire, j'ai été déçu. Sinon les portion son bonne.
