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.

Honestly some of the best Thai food I've had in Montreal. The atmosphere is super cute & intimate. The food is absolutely banging as it is packed with flavours & they give you a very generous portion. Great service too. I recommend the yellow curry it was delicious!!

Went here with great expectations from reviews & unfortunately was a let down. First this place is kid friendly as they don't have high chair or boosters seats & don't have a teaspoons either for kids. Second, we wanted to sit for our comfort. as we have a 3 year old, on the big table for four & was told that we would have to move if there's a big group. We decided to sit on the small table as who honestly wants to move while we are trying to enjoy our meal? Also there was already a group of 3 one of the 3 tables while there was 2 other tables with 3 spots. Not sure why they would tell us that they would have to move us instead of them as I'm sure they were'warned' also. Other than that, service was great. Now I really wanted to like the food however I've eated in many Thai restaurants & I don't know how this place has a high review as our main 2 meals were salty which was the Pad Thai Tofu Shrimp & the Stir Fry Pork. The Stir Fry Pork was suppose to be spicy & there was hardly any hint of spice. I asked the waiter just to check if they made it not spicy because I have a kid & he said no & also said that it's suppose to be spicy. Chicken wings was okay & the only thing I enjoyed is the pumpkin fritter. All in all I was very disappointed on the food & what they said about moving us to the small table which was very tight btw for 2 main meals & 2 appetizers. This is honestly the first restaurant that ever told me that they would tell us to move if there was a group of 4 or more. I honestly should have left after they said that but really wanted to try their cuisine which was also a let down.

Je ne saurais dire quel était le nom du plat que j'ai pris puisque c'était en thaïlandais, mais il s'agissait d'un porc caramélisé servi avec riz & coriandre fraîche. Le plat était succulent! Aromatique & goûteux! C'était tellement bon! Ils y a des condiments qui sont à notre disposition (sauces, épices & piments forts). Je recommande d'en mettre pour donner du kick & de la chaleur! Repas = franc succès!

Le seul point négatif à mon avis sont les prix [élevés] & les portions [adéquates, mais pas généreuses]. On est très loin de faire dans le street food en terme de prix, malheureusement.

En outre, pour une expérience gustative exotique & délicieuse, ça vaut la peine de se faire plaisir. J'y retourne pour essayer leurs autres plats, c'est sûr!

Excellente cuisine d’inspiration Thaïlandaise. C’est devenu ma « cantine ». Allez-y vous ne serez pas déçu. Sur place ou à emporter. 👍
