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.

This is a true hidden gem in Montreal! We went to this restaurant for the first time & we were deeply impressed by the incredible cuisine! The environment was great & the tables were spacious. We were warmly welcomed. One of the problems was that the wait time might be a little long. However, the food was well worth it. The taste was incredible & not a single item on the menu disappointed us! The desserts are a must-try. We hope to return to this restaurant in the future to discover the marvels of Filipino cuisine.

For me, It's way too expensive for a regular size pusit inihaw $17 good for one person (about 4 inches) with no special seasoning.. my daughter ordered chicken inasal & it was not that good.. there's no rice or potatoes included, we need to pay another $9 for just the rice good for two...

Place is nice & clean, service was relatively fast. The food was delicious & full of flavor!🤩 We ordered the lumpiang shanghai rolls, the sizzling sisig & the chicken & veggies pancit bihon. The portions were very generous, more than enough for 2 people to share. Prices are fair for the quantity & flavor 👍🏻 This restaurant became one of my top favorites for filipino food & I absolutely recommend it! ☺️

Wait time: 2 hours. O star. The longest I have to sit in a restaurant waiting for my food in my entire life. They focus more on takeouts that they completely ignore the clients inside. Main course: 2 stars. We were served spoiled chicken inasal. The worst chicken I've ever had. Another record. Kare-kare was good on the first bite but couldn't finish it at the end - just way too much fat. Dessert: 3 stars. Haluhalu tastes so ordinary for the price. Meh. Won't be back for sure.

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.

Decided to try Kalapaw & it was 40% salty. We got several dishes as it's our first time to visit! We ordered the chicken inasal but it was disappointing. It was hard & salty, good thing it came with a vegetable salad to help with the saltiness. We also ordered sisig but it turned out salty, too! The kare kare, lechon kawali, calamares, sinigang, garlic rice were good tho! Overall, I recommend you to visit & try! :)
