Kalapow est souvent salué pour ses plats filipins authentiques et réconfortants, avec des portions généreuses et un menu varié comprenant l'adobo, le sisig, le lechon kawali, le palabok et des desserts comme le halo halo; les saveurs sont décrites comme riches et familiales, et de nombreux avis soulignent que la nourriture est délicieuse et le rapport qualité prix raisonnable. L'ambiance chaleureuse et le service accueillant ressortent aussi dans plusieurs retours, ainsi que le parking pratique et la décoration moderne. Cependant les expériences se révèlent variables sur le service: des temps d'attente plus longs que prévu, des soucis de communication à la caisse et des échanges parfois tendus; certains trouvent les explications sur les politiques de paiement peu claires et estiment que le personnel gagnerait à être plus cohérent et attentif. Certaines portions et plats peuvent sembler gras ou plus piquants que d'autres et quelques plats kamayan ont été perçus comme chers pour ce qui est offert, mais globalement Kalapow est considéré comme une adresse qui offre une vraie cuisine philippine et pourrait devenir encore meilleure avec une meilleure organisation et coordination du service.
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!

The food & service at this restaurant is amazing!! Everything is so fresh & delicious: we ordered the oxtail, pork skewers & garlic fried rice. I highly recommend to those who want to try the best food from the Philippines!
We ordered Kare-Kare,Pinaputok na Isda; Halo-Halo, Kapampangan Halo-Halo, Garlic Rice. They are all good! It is not easy to find a good Filipino restaurant in Montreal . This is the one you have to try!
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.
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!
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...

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! :)
We ordered a mixed platter because we were craving for a “boodle fight” & the food is just okay. Not recommended to eat “boodle fight”, but I guess their other dish looks pretty good.
Additionally, have asked for a “bagoong/alamang” & they served the one that is not cooked & its very salty, there’s more room for improvement.
The ambience looks pretty decent. The mixed platter was served with chicken inasal(needs more seasoning/taste), salmon ceviche, salad, chicken wings(taste good), shrimps, & rice.
Suggestion: hope they add more fruits (mango/watermelon), side(tomatoes), make the chicken inasal more tastier, instead of chicken wings it would be best to switch it to lechon kawali & maybe add some cooked “alamang”.
