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 a popular, cozy destination in Montreal known for its authentic, flavorful Thai cuisine and aesthetic, casual atmosphere. While many patrons highly praise the pad thai, curries, and mango sticky rice for their freshness and quality, experiences regarding spice levels and portion sizes can vary. The space is notably compact and frequently fills up quickly, often leading to wait times, but the majority of visitors find the culinary experience and welcoming service well worth the visit, making it a go-to spot for both locals and travelers.

The flavors were great, & I truly wanted to love it, but something was just wrong with my noodles. Either somebody soak the rice noodles in hot water, or there were far too few bean sprouts in the Pad Thai, ultimately making it a sticky plate of stodgy noodles.

The peach doesn't really stand out with the sticky rice. Mango is still the best. Please don't do this again ☹? as it ruins the moment of the mango sticky rice. The pad thai with shrimp is good but not that great. One order is good for 2 people. Overall, 3 out of 5. Food is nice but I don't think I should go back again.

Pumpui is a gem! The chicken wings were unreal, the shrimp pad thai was easily one of the best I've ever had, & the pork belly on rice (Pad Pak Boong) was just out of this world. We grabbed takeout but ended up eating right in front & honestly, the little mom-&-pop shop atmosphere made it even better. You can really feel the energy of the place. Even their rosé wine was spot on. 100% a 5-star spot in Montreal!

I'm from Thailand & I can say the taste is not quite authentic. However, the taste is okay.
The pad tastes good but it is not what the pad thai should taste like. Pad krapao is very salty & if you know thai people, we make fun of any restaurant who do pad kra pow with the long bean because it make the volume of the food to be bigger (less meat)

Anyway, it is an okay place to have Thai food but for anyone who is looking for authentic Thai food. Just saying, this is not it.

Had the fish curry & it was delicious! Some spice but not overwhelming. My family had the ribs marinated in coconut milk & sticky rice & they were very tasty. Super recommended.

Simply a must visit restaurant in Montreal.

I've never been to Thailand but Pumpui prides itself on serving authentic Thai dishes. I'll take their word for it because the flavours in their offerings are god damn sensational 👏👏

The fish ball curry is in my top 5 dishes in all of Montreal. Straight up.

Solid value for the price, service is great, & this summer they have a lil terrace in the back!
