French message will follow! The service & the food was great, tender meat & chicken cooked to perfection. You will enjoy!
Le service & le repas était incroyable, la viande était tendre & le poulet cuit à la perfection. Vous allez adoré!
We've had takeout here before so we decided to have dinner at the restaurant. We ordered the Ginisang Talong (eggplant), the Adobo (chicken) & the Lomi Overload (soup noodle). My goodness, no time to talk, too busy eating, the food was so delicious. Will definitely return soon & I would love to try the Halo Halo dessert.
Highly recommend ordering the fried sea bass, skewers, & chicken, they were so good. The stir fried vegetables were also good. The overall flavor was great.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kalapaw Filipino Cuisine in the West Island of Montreal, & I have to say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.
I ordered the Chicken Adobo with rice, & it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich & authentic, with the perfect balance of savory, tangy, & slightly sweet - just how adobo should be. The chicken was tender & well-marinated, & the portion size was generous.
For dessert, I tried one of their Filipino sweets (I won't spoil it for you!), & it was simply amazing - the perfect way to end the meal. Sweet, comforting, & full of nostalgic flavor.
The service was another highlight: fast, professional, & very courteous. I felt welcomed the moment I walked in. The staff clearly takes pride in what they do.
The ambiance is warm, friendly, & relaxed. Whether you're new to Filipino cuisine or looking for a taste of home, Kalapaw provides a comfortable space to enjoy a great meal.
Highly recommend for anyone craving quality Filipino food in the West Island. I'll definitely be back!
This eatery serves several unique, authentic platters, including the delicious & crispy lechon kawali, adobo chicken, & crispy pata. Regrettably, many traditional kamayan platters for two have been removed from the menu. We usually finished our meals with the dessert Halo-Halo. However, the service was slow & slacky. On our latest visit, a Sunday at 8:35 PM, the server refused to serve us the Halo-Halo, stating we were the last customers & they wanted to close.
I love to support Philippine cuisine but I must be honest here. The place is beautiful & very clean with lots of space. However, there was only one waitress & it took quite a bit of time to get served. (It's not her fault) However her personality was a little underwhelming as a Pinay & for a waitress. Didn't smile or acknowledge most of what we were saying to her. The shrimp was awful! It was severely over cooked & was soggy. The quality was very cheap & not acceptable. The lechon kawali was very dry. I would suggest they need to work on the freshness of their food & the quality. The BBQ chicken was excellent! The BBQ pork as well as the rice was pretty good. I would go back because I want them to succeed but I think they need to work on some things. Compared to Republika they have a long ways to go for taste, quality & freshness.
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.
