Krapow se spécialise dans les saveurs audacieuses du sud-est asiatique, en mettant l'accent sur la complexité aromatique de la cuisine de rue thaïlandaise et des spécialités indonésiennes incontournables. Le menu se concentre sur le sauté au basilic sacré, offrant une chaleur fondamentale qui définit une grande partie de l'identité culinaire de l'établissement. Chaque plat intègre du piment frais, de l'ail et des aromates traditionnels pour assurer une représentation authentique des profils épicés régionaux. Au-delà des sautés centrés sur les protéines, la cuisine explore des techniques fusion qui équilibrent les notes d'umami savoureuses avec une subtile acidité. L'environnement demeure axé sur un service efficace et la livraison de recettes intenses aux épices prononcées dans un cadre décontracté et fonctionnel. La sélection rigoureuse de classiques régionaux souligne l'intensité brute et authentique des méthodes de cuisson traditionnelles pratiquées en Indonésie et en Thaïlande.
Krapow est largement reconnu pour sa cuisine sud-est asiatique savoureuse et authentique, le bœuf krapow, le rendang et le laksa étant fréquemment cités comme des plats incontournables. La clientèle apprécie particulièrement le fait que le menu soit entièrement sans gluten et propose des options végétaliennes originales, faisant de cet établissement une destination prisée pour les personnes ayant des restrictions alimentaires. Bien que le restaurant soit souvent décrit comme un lieu chaleureux et charmant offrant un service exceptionnel et attentionné, certains clients soulignent que l'espace est restreint et que les sièges manquent parfois de confort. Malgré quelques remarques sur la taille des portions, l'avis général demeure extrêmement positif, mettant en avant la fraîcheur et l'équilibre des saveurs dans une expérience culinaire de qualité qui incite à la fidélité.
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!!!

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!
See the food? ABSOLUTELY BODIED IT. My wife loved the hell out of the faux meat krapow & I couldn't agree more. I got the beef rendang while her mom got the papaya salad. & YUMMERS. Also, the lady working here is super helpful too. She even went & helped us with parking in the area since we're not local. Amazing place will definitely come again for out next visit.

Unfortunately will not be ordering again since they switch the beyond option with the gusta faux beef. Lost it's juiciness & addictive taste that made us come back over & over. Now it is a lot more drier, still tasty but a lot less.
Idk what the bad reviews were for, the food is amazing! 🥲 As a South East Asian, this is easily one of the best versions of Krapow & Beef Rendang I've ever had. Everything was so spot on. If you're not used to spice or bold flavours, this is probably not for you. Also loved that the presentation was translated in the takeout box. There was a bit of a wait today, but well worth it in my opinion. I couldn't stop eating, it reminded me of
home.
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!
I ordered the beef Rendag via doordash. The taste is good at first since it has tasteful spices. However, the dish was Extremely Salty!! I had a hard time finishing it. I think it could be a good dish if they reduce the salt a bit, I would order the other dishes since it might be only this time that they accidently added too much salt
