Si vous souhaitez manger quelques choses de réconfortant qui sort de l'ordinaire & vous transporte dans les pays d'Asie du sud, cet endroit est la parfaite destination. Salade de papaye incroyable, boeuf rendang succulent & le poulet sambal à couper le souffle! Excellent restaurant ceux qui veulent explorer!
Honestly enough can't be said about @krapow.ca located in the heart of Montreal. This unassuming spot in one of Montreal hottest neighbourhoods has been serving up delicious Thai food now for 5 delicious years. I'm just so upset at myself it took me this long to come visite!
I have to start off with one of the stars of the show the Laksa. Absolutely show stopper of a soup, can't remember the last time I've had such amazing depth of flavour in a broth. Truly beautiful balance between savory, heat & umami. A elite move if u wanna take this dish to the next level in my opinion is to add the Sambal Belacan Chicken on top. It adds a layer of crunch & texture overall to the dish that to be really adds. You can also add anyone of their 3 in house Sambals to it, all were just amazing. The noodles had amazing bounce to them, the toppings all perfectly curated. Honestly a 10/10 dish, FOODGASMIC💦 to say the least! & I like to add, everything they have is gluten free!
Next we have the Beef Rendang, origins now focusing on Indonesia & boy this dish really transported me there! It's was so flavour packed full of Spices & herbs, slowly cooked for hours & hours that the meat just feel apart in yoyr mouth. Honestly I can't believe I've only ever had this dish 3 times in my life & this time had to have been my favorite tbh. This rich, sweet & savoury Stew is just what I needed.
Last but not least we have the famous beef Krapow for what they are famous for. Honestly I've only ever had this dish made with pork so I was wondering what the difference flavour notes & textures might be. Truthfully, really pleasantly surprised. Not to much heat which was a little odd because normally every time I've had this dish it really just burns your face off. But I guess they have to keep it a little calmer for the whities LOL. But again really well balanced dish especially with the fried egg on top it really lends a richness to the entire meal you break it up & eat it all together really well done. My only thing if I were to give anything to improve or add to this dish definitely a little bit of heat, & cripier beef, but still 11/10!

We found this little gem of a place walking around Mont Royal streets. The food is really good. The menu is small, yet everything is flavorful & freshly made. The chicken sambal was quite tasty & so is the Krapow beef. The staff is friendly.
So far I've only had the Chicken Sambal twice, but both times it was tasty & quite filling. I think the only complaint I have about it, is that while it's labeled as very spicy it's actually not spicy at all. But you can always request it to be spicier to your taste. My only actual issue with the place is that both times I went, flies were everywhere & constantly harassing you for your food.
Great food, Great Service. I ordered Poulet Sambal (chicken). I recommend it! Krapow is a delightful little restaurant that offers an intimate dining experience with only about six tables inside & an outdoor seating option. The space might be small, but the flavors are immense! The atmosphere is cozy, & the open kitchen allows you to watch the chef expertly prepare each dish fresh in front of you. It's impressive to see just one cook skillfully handle all the orders while maintaining high quality. The service is friendly & attentive, making you feel right at home. The portions are generous & reasonably priced, offering great value for money. Each dish is beautifully presented & packed with authentic flavors. The only minor downside is that a dish listed as spicy was actually mild, but that's a small issue in an otherwise fantastic dining experience. If you're looking for delicious Thai & Indonesian cuisine, Krapow is a must-visit!

Krapow Montreal is like a little corner of Thailand right in the Plateau, perfect for anyone wanting to try some genuine Thai food. They've made sure everyone can join in, with a menu that's completely gluten-free. We tried the Boeuf Krapow & Poulet Sambal Belacan-both dishes were delicious & packed with flavor. The place has a relaxed, friendly vibe, making it just right for a quick bite or a more laid-back dinner. The staff are really welcoming, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Whether you're already a fan of Thai cuisine or just looking to try something new, Krapow Montreal is worth a visit, & it's easy to see why people keep coming back.
Krapow est maintenant situé dans l’ancien local du Tampopo (voir photos).
Ça fait depuis leurs débuts que je fréquente Krapow, nourriture d’inspiration indonésienne, thaïe & malaisienne. Nourriture originale, relevée & saveurs recherchées. Bonnes portions. Le nouvel local quadruple l’espace pour y manger à l’intérieur.
Je vous recommande le bœuf Rendang ou le poulet Sambal Belacan. Approx $25 taxes & service.
Fortement recommandé, un des meilleurs sur Ave Mont-Royal depuis un moment.
P.S.: votez si ce review vous a été utile, merci 🙏

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.
