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.

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.

Kalapaw is a great spot for delicious Filipino comfort food. The sinigang is perfectly sour, the crispy pata is crunchy & flavorful, & the kare-kare is rich & satisfying. Their halo-halo is a must-try for dessert - sweet, colorful, & refreshing.

The staff is friendly & the place feels warm & homey, with a touch of Filipino decor & music. Perfect for family meals or catching up with friends.

Been here multiple times & have never been disappointed. If you're looking for a family friendly restaurant with authentic filipino dishes, look no further. The thirty minute drive is always worth it

Came here with my family for the first time. The interior was rather modern & clean. We were quickly sat & it didn't take long for our orders to be taken.

Our meals came out quickly. We shared the Lumpiang Shanghai, which each roll being delicious & crispy. We also shared the following meals: Adobo, Lechon Kawali, Sizzling Sisig & Palabok. For dessert, we had the Halo-Halo, the Calamansi Leche Flan & the Buko Pandan. It was my family's first time tasting this cuisine & everything was well-liked.

The service could have been more attentive. When we finished our water, our waitress took away the empty bottles but never came back with them. We had to remind her to bring us more water. However, this wasn't a big issue.

Overall, it was a lovely & great experience for a family dinner. Great culinary experience for my family as well. Would recommend!

Great Filipino cuisine on the West Island. We had the Lumpiang Shanghai pork rolls to start, which were perfectly deep fried & tasty. We ordered two meals & shared the huge portions family-style. We shared the Sizzling Sisig (a hot sizzling plate of tender tasty chopped pork) & the Kare-Kare (fall-apart oxtail in a rich peanut sauce). We also devoured the must-have delicious garlic fried rice. For dessert, we had the huge Halo-Halo & a Calamansi Leche Flan. The menu is more than typical, & the portions are shareable & delicious. A definite must-try for foodies.

My family & I stayed at Marriot Bonvoy Residence Inn where we met Angel. She recommended Kalapaw Filipino Cuisine. We almost did not go there because of an impending snow storm. But we still went. We did not regret it. They were very friendly people. Great food. Great service. We got take out. Got back to our hotel, had dinner. Then the snow storm fell. Tried their kamayan platter, kare kare, palabok & lechon. Fantastic!

Extremely pleased with this restaurant! I came here on a Sunday afternoon with my family & everything we got was delicious! This place will now be in rotation of my favourite restaurants to go in Montreal. Anyone who's never had any Filipino food before please give this place a try! You won't be disappointed!!!
