Dans l ensemble, Kalapow propose une experience culinaire philippine chaleureuse avec des saveurs authentiques, des portions généreuses et une ambiance conviviale, ideale pour les familles, avec de nombreux avis saluant des plats savoureux comme le poulet Adobo, le sinigang, le crispy pata ou le halo halo et soulignant un service amical et une bonne valeur; toutefois certaines visites ont été entachées par un service lent, de longs délais pour les plats principaux et les desserts, ainsi que des difficultes occasionnelles lors du paiement en caisse ou des mises a jour de commande; un theme récurrent est le contraste entre des plats remarquables et une coordination du service inegale, certains convives consider Kalapow comme une adresse de confort, tandis que d autres estiment que l organisation et la communication du personnel pourraient etre ameliores.
Variety of dishes perhaps the food in a style of a province in PH🇵🇭, I never seen a lechon kawali looking like crispy pata tossed in a sinigang before 🤣 Maybe it just me I came from Manila & I dont like my crispy pata soggy in a soup. The food gets cold fast, perhaps invest on a hot plate or a plug-in pot.. the place is spacious enough to have those equipment around. The crispy pata side sauce was diluted & it came in half an ounce remkin.. it should be at least 3oz
We were really looking forward to trying this Filipino restaurant, & while the food itself was decent, the service unfortunately made the experience disappointing.
The main dishes took a very long time to arrive, even though the restaurant wasn't overly busy. We tried to be patient, but the wait felt excessive. What was even more frustrating was the dessert service - we had already paid, & it still took about an hour for the desserts to come out. By that point, we were honestly just tired & ready to leave.
The flavors were good & you can tell there's potential here, but the long delays really impacted the overall experience. I hope the restaurant can improve their timing & service flow, because with better service, this could have been a much better visit.
Kalapaw offered such a good variety of classic Filipino dishes. We had masarap na gulay, sizzling pork sisig, pork bbq & turon. The food was amazing & comforting, we ended up taking a palabok to go! Shoutout to Monnet for making the best pork bbq & turon! Will definitely be back when I visit Montreal again :) Service was great
Really disappointing experience The food was significantly delayed, & several dishes had an overwhelmingly strong vinegar taste The shrimp did not appear fresh, & the service was minimal & at times unfriendly. I also experienced a headache & stomach pain after the meal.
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
The best place to eat & they serve good foods with the best quality of taste & the atmosphere was nice & relaxing not to much noise & we are so happy the way they served us.Kalapaw is a highly recommended for any person who likes Filipino Dishes.thumbs up for Kalapaw👍

A small & cozy restaurant. While its menu may not boast an extensive array of choices, the 2 persons combo is highly rated & celebrated for its eyes-appealing presentation. Many dishes have somewhat similar taste to the Chinese dishes, but even for those who are familiar with Chinese food is still worthy to go
Rsvp for 12 people on Saturday, May 25th for 4:30pm. Cons Service: Server was not the quickest. She never came to ask us: How was everything? Is there anything else I can get you? Do you need containers for leftovers? We always had to go to her or flag her down.. Asides from that, they played happy birthday music & sung the birthday song for the celebrant which was a very kind gesture! Thank you! Halo-Halo was bland & in my opinion, not your typical Halo-Halo. There wasn't much shaved ice. Pros The food was delicious & fresh. Not too salty to which was great because Filipinos tend to over season their dishes. We ordered the following; - Kare-Kare: loved! Veggies we're cooked to perfection (nice & crisp. Not over cooked). Oxtail was dinger licking good. - Sisig: first time having it & loved it! Nice kick of spicyness. - Palabok: good & fresh but not my favorite - Eggroll: Piping hot, crispy & fresh! - Porc bbq: very good & flavorful. - Lechon: nice & crispy! - Fried calamari: delicous & not overcooked. - Steamed rice: Fresh batch! - Adobo rice: didn't get the chance to taste it. - A whole ube cheesecake: delectable! I couldn't stop eating it! It was so good! Overall, will definitely come back & order for catering! Thank you!
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! :)
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.
