Krapow Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Montreal: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
ThaiIndonesianFusion

About

Krapow specializes in bold Southeast Asian flavors, focusing primarily on the aromatic complexity of Thai street food and vibrant Indonesian staples. The menu centers on the signature holy basil stir-fry, which provides a foundational heat that characterizes much of the culinary identity here. Each dish incorporates fresh chili, garlic, and traditional aromatics to ensure an authentic representation of regional spice profiles. Beyond the core protein-driven stir-frys, the kitchen explores fusion techniques that balance savory umami notes with subtle sweetness and acidity. The atmosphere remains focused on efficient service and the delivery of intense, spice-forward recipes served in a casual, functional environment. Patrons find a reliable selection of regional classics that emphasize the raw, unfiltered intensity of traditional cooking methods practiced across Indonesia and Thailand.

Review Summary

Krapow is a popular and cozy destination in Montreal that is widely praised for its flavorful, high-quality, and entirely gluten-free Southeast Asian menu. Guests frequently highlight the beef krapow, beef rendang, and laksa as standout dishes that deliver fresh, well-balanced, and comforting tastes. While the restaurant is noted for having a small, focused menu and limited seating space, the overall dining experience is consistently enhanced by friendly, attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a highly recommended spot for those seeking an authentic and delicious meal.

We really enjoyed our meal at Krapow. The food was flavorful, fresh, & satisfying, with a great mix of textures & bold taste. The crispy egg, rice, greens, & seasoned meat made the dish feel both comforting & delicious.

A nice casual spot in Montreal for a relaxed meal.

Kudos to owner & team. The resto is tastefully decorated giving off a street vibe. Friendly service/staff & the food was hallucinating. What a celebration for your taste buds!!!!
Make sure to accompany your meal with one of their rice beers to complete your experience!!!

This truly is'the best takeout in Montreal'. The chefs are always on point. The rice is perfectly cooked, so is the egg, which is still runny inside. The beef in beef krapow is so flavorful & so unique, it's like nothing I've tasted before. The portions are great because it comes out to two meals for me. Finally, the price is right. 5 stars from me.

Although, it was our first time trying your signature dishes on Super Bowl night; your Krapow Beef & Randang Beef portion was kindly generous & tasty but yet was greatly disappointed that them temperature of our dishes weren't steaming hot (& coconut rice wasn't fully cooked) & atmosphere of resto was also on the cool side.

Sadly, both my sister & I had gotten a severe upset stomach plus other symptoms 😢

Thank you for reviewing our feedback & look forward to hearing from you soon!

Delicious food with really great options for those that are gluten free (they are fully gluten free) vegetarian, & vegan. my favourite was the laska végane which is a Malaysian food with noodles, mushrooms, bok choy, chillies, sprouts & more. Definitely has a bit of a kick to it but the flavours are phenomenal & very authentic. They also have a beyond krapow which is served with an egg, rice & bok choy that surprisingly tastes like the regular thing. Great service all around & fantastic food

Amazing food! The beef Krapow was definitely the highlight of the meal. It has a very "homey" feel to it. The strong & flavorful beef is really well balanced with the soft & well-prepared coconut rice. Great atmosphere. The food was served very quickly & the service done by Sophie was exquisite!

Ordered in for the first time, the dish is honestly elegant for supposedly street food style cuisine. The flavours are impressive. The portion looked small in the container but was actually a lot was very happy. More chicken than almost all other spots & lots of nice rice.

I would recommend a cheaper option without the rice for those who want take out & can make their own rice.

The Sambal chicken is out of this world & tasty. The coconut rice & baby bok choy served as accompaniment are delightful. They include a bird chilli you can cut up if you like spice so that works for me.

Their Tom Kha is not spicy enough imo, but still tasty.

They just moved location & the new place is very cute with more space to sit. Their music is also always great. Basically, I'm a huge fan.
