Kalye Restaurant

AMAZING restaurant I went to with a friend on a Thursday night. It was freezing out & but there were still a few customers when we entered. It felt like a legit, authentic restaurant in Southeast Asia honestly, with the decor & the TVs playing food vlogs. I personally have not had Filipino food before so I was equally wary & anticipatory of the flavours to come.
A Filipino friend basically ordered for us: sizzling crispy sisig with egg & the chicken inasal with java (a type of lemon rice, I learned) that came with Shanghai rolls & a drink. Oh. My. Goodness. I don't think anything could have prepared me for this. The chicken: the crisp skin & tender meat was unbelievable. The sisig: so flavourful & hot & juicy; it was MINDBLOWING. Now I have never had it before so I don't know if they're all this incredible but I don't care THIS is the place to enjoy it!!! It is verryyy oily though, even after asking if it could be modified to be less so, so I would only order it once a month lol. Not to mention we were served a nice warm complimentary chicken soup. This plus the rice was great in complementing the meat dishes. The spring rolls were so delightful & crispy! Was not expecting a roll of meat inside it but I am not complaining in the slightest.

I am SO HAPPY with my first venture into Filipino food. I was a little worried about eating different parts of a pig that I had never tried before but that was completely unnoticeable upon every bite. Our server was kind & patient. I will be back for more, Kalye. The next time I come to Montreal, it's a MUST! 😋

The waitstaff were very outgoing & made it an exceptional experience👍. The kitchen staff must really love & take pride in what they do. Before we even ordered they served our table with a complimentary soup for all. The pork BBQ was full of flavour & melted in my mouth. The chop suey was the best I've ever eaten. The lumpia rolls were simple but delicious. Everyone that accompanied me enjoyed their dishes. I will definitely be eating at Kalye again.

Came here with my girlfriend for date night & to try some Filipino goodies. The girl at the counter was really helpful & gave us so many suggestions. I wish I could have ordered it all.
We had the pork sisig & the Shanghai rolls, both of which were AMAZING, absolutely delicious. We will absolutely be returning!
