Kalapaw est largement reconnu comme une destination de choix à Montréal pour sa cuisine philippine authentique, offrant un intérieur spacieux et bien décoré ainsi qu'un stationnement pratique. De nombreux clients louent la générosité des portions et la qualité des plats emblématiques comme le crispy pata, l'adobo et le dessert halo halo, soulignant que le restaurant propose une atmosphère chaleureuse et familiale qui rappelle le goût du pays. Bien que la majorité des visiteurs soulignent la gentillesse et le professionnalisme du personnel, des rapports récurrents font état d'une lenteur de service et de difficultés de communication durant les périodes d'affluence. Malgré des expériences parfois variables concernant les temps d'attente et les procédures administratives, le sentiment général demeure positif, de nombreux clients étant impatients de revenir pour savourer ces plats pleins de saveurs dans un cadre convivial.
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.
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!
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.

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.
This was my first time trying Filipino cuisine, & I was delighted. The prices are reasonable, the serving size was good. I had a main meal along with a dessert, which were both delicious. One thing I could mention is that some people may find the food a bit salty (maybe it was just the meal I chose), but I like salty food. I guess one could ask to not have it as salty, but I really enjoyed it as it was. I also had some sort of fried banana dessert which also came with some ice cream, which was so good as well.
Food was very good in general. The palabok, pork Barbeque skewers, atsara & kinilaw were great.I was a bit disappointed with the sisig. Inasal was ok. All the desserts on point. Everything else were tasty. The atmosphere was nice except for the smoke from kitchen always coming out; ventilation is not good. My clothes smelled like smoke after the meal. Chairs were comfortable. The service was good except that they don't provide service spoons; it is annoying to ask each time. They should provide Serving spoons automatically for each large sharing dish. Parking was great, spacious & free.
There's usually a lot of tables. I would say this place is a bit of western-filipino food fusion. Some dishes are westernized, & yet, it doesn't lose its filipino food taste to it (which is really hard to do). I've brought both filipino & non-filipino friends here, & they all love it. Their food could take a bit of time to cook/prepare (within 15-40 minutes, depending on order) because they are prepared/grilled as you order, but it tastes freshly made! I love their BBQs & kamayan foods if you like variety. They are good for 2-3 people, depending on how hungry you are! Their desserts are also good. I love the turon, peach mango spring rolls, & ube spring rolls. Oh, their halo-halo is pretty good too especially in the hot summer days! I wish they had luminated signage, though. It was a bit hard for me to find the first time around, especially when all its neighbors are well luminated. I also thought they were closed because it was dark, so be sure to check the door. Here's a collection of our photos/videos from our visits:
We made reservation for 6:30 on a Monday. We ordered a few dishes for 7 adults & 2 children to share & it was enough to be full without over eating. Out of all the dishes ordered, our least favorite one was the sizzling pork sisig & the chicken wings...it felt like there was lack of flavor, maybe it is an off day. My personal favorites were: the pork skewers; so flavorful & the grill taste was simply divine! Followed in order of preferences: the salmon seviche with taro chips, the spaghetti filipino sauce, the adobo pork, the lumpia, pancit noodles. For desserts, we ordered the 3 different kind of deep fried rolls & halo halo. My personal favorite was the ube, then peach mango, then the jackfruit plantain.
The service was disappointing. We were served utentils for everyone, 4 napkins, & no plates. Even when the food came, we still didn't have plates to eat. We had to request/remind our original waiter. We had to remind them we didn't get our drink either. Water was filled only once (2 bottles filled all 9 glasses) so it was only as we finished our meal that we were broght more water. Another employee ended up helping our tables for the dessert round as we ordered almost all of them to share. This time around, this employee was on point.
The service took a while, but we were in good company so it helped.
I would recommend paying attention to the basics & do them well, & it would make this place a must place to eat for Filipino food.
