Review Summary

Kalapaw offers a wide variety of authentic and comforting Filipino dishes that many patrons find delicious, generous in portion, and highly reminiscent of home. While the restaurant is frequently praised for its vibrant atmosphere, welcoming staff, and overall quality, experiences regarding service can be inconsistent. Some visitors encounter long wait times for both dine-in and takeout orders, and a few guests have expressed frustration with communication issues and procedural difficulties during checkout. Despite these concerns, the establishment remains a popular destination in the West Island, known for standout menu items like the kamayan platter, halo-halo, and various classic comfort foods, making it a recommended spot for those seeking a genuine Filipino dining experience.

Unfortunately we do not recommend this restaurant. We called 45 minutes earlier to order for a pick up. We were craving for bbq pork so order it with other plates. Once home, the bbq sticks were not there worth for minimum 40$. Lost the money. Food was overall lacking taste. If you want pinoy food, I recommend restaurants located in Plamondon area.

The halo halo is plain. It's like ice cream with toppings. Other Resto put leche flan, tasty ube & classic Filipino halo halo main ingredients with aromatic halo halo flavour.

Excellente nourriture mais le service était très ordinaire, nous avons dû nous servir nous même. Très déçue du fait qu'il n'y ait pas de table à langer dans les toilettes, donc pas baby friendly.

The waiting time for take out is crazy long. I ordered 12:53 & got my order at around 1:30. When I arrived the couple before me who wants take out backed out because waiting time is 1 hr. , (I assumed they have more order than me)Shouldve been my hint 🤣 I ordered anyway coz Im really craving filipino food (the restaurant I usually go to didnt have take out that day)
& its just 1 order, inasal & rice. While waiting, there was a family at the bar (I thought they are also ordering take out) but they were given plates & etc. after sometime i looked again at their direction I thought they were done eating but i realized their food wasnt served even. 😬 they cancelled eventually coz they were told 20mins more.

You seriously need to improve your preparation time.

The service was great. Very warm, very professional & quick to respond.

Huge interior with nice decors.

Plenty of parking.

Food: i was told by my friends that they had the best-tasting Filipino food in Montreal so we tried some yesterday. We ordered the platter. I didnt find the mix of skewered items to be that flavorful considering the rich marinades & sauces that we have in the Philippines- it just didnt show. Out of everything we ordered, the calamari stood out the most.

People told me that Halo-halo was their best food item in the menu but by thr time we finished dinner, they were about to close so maybe next time.
