Reviewers note that Restaurant Canada Best offers authentic Malaysian and Sri Lankan comfort food in a small, unassuming space, with Nasi Lemak and Rendang frequently named as standout dishes. Generous portions, bold sambal, fragrant coconut rice, and crispy ikan bilis are often praised, and the Nasi Lemak is described as heavenly. A warm, welcoming atmosphere comes from a friendly husband and wife running the place, with attentive service and thoughtful dish recommendations. The experience is cozy and homey rather than flashy, making it well suited for casual family meals and friendly gatherings. Prices are viewed as reasonable for the quality, and many diners plan return visits, especially for the Saturday specials and a wide range of menu items from noodles to curries. The menu is noted as accommodating for allergies and halal preferences, and customization is a plus. While a few comments mention occasional delays, the overall consensus is that the food is flavorful, authentic, and memorable, inspiring guests to bring friends and return again.
This restaurant truly stands out! The attention to detail in both the food & service is remarkable. Every dish we ordered was delicious & prepared with care. The flavors were bold & authentic, & everything tasted incredibly fresh. The staff was welcoming, professional, & made sure we were comfortable throughout our visit. The overall experience was smooth & enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality dining.
A gem in Parc-Ex!
This was a truly beautiful culinary discovery.
The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with love. We took the Chicken Noodles & Nasi Lemak (highly recommended). As you can see, we completely devoured our dishes!
The owner & his wife, who run the restaurant, provided a warm & welcoming service. They took the time to guide us through the menu & give us great recommendations.
You truly sense the passion behind every dish. I highly recommend this spot & will absolutely be coming back.
A true must-try!!!
I got the Saturday special & the chicken 65 for entrée. I think the highlight of the dish is the chicken 65 which is also in the Saturday special, you get a lot of different flavors in 1 dish. There's fish, shrimps, chicken curry, vegetables & fried chicken. The portion is really good for the price! I'm definitely coming back to try something else because I'm not the biggest fan of seafood but I think someone who likes shrimp would enjoy this dish.
Restaurant Canada Best truly lives up to its name! The food was delicious & full of flavor. The people there were very kind, caring, & made me feel really welcome. I'll definitely be coming back again!
Canada's best restaurant truly sets the gold standard for culinary excellence. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with impeccable service, a warm & inviting atmosphere, & a menu that masterfully blends innovation with authentic flavors. Every dish is a work of art-crafted with the freshest ingredients, bold creativity, & a passion that shines through in every bite. This restaurant doesn't just serve food; it delivers an unforgettable dining experience that celebrates the richness & diversity of Canadian cuisine. Simply put, it's a gem that every food lover must experience.👍👍🥰
Amazing food with exceptional service! The ambiance was perfect, & every dish was full of flavor. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great dining experience.

I had Bilis Nasi Goreng (fried rice with dried anchovies) with a fried egg on top & I must say the flavors of the dish lives up to expectations. I also had Mango Lassi & its a good pairing drink with my nasi goreng. Check out their other dishes on the menu too. If you enjoy south east asian flavors, this is a nice restaurant to visit in Montreal.
Came back for the nasi lemak, stayed for the nasi goreng! The sambal, coconut rice, & crispy anchovies hit every note. Everything was packed with flavor - my go-to place for Malaysian comfort food.
We stumbled upon this incredible Malaysian-Sri Lankan restaurant purely by accident & what a delicious accident it turned out to be. It all started when we were looking for rice to go with some Indian food we had picked up earlier (which surprisingly didn't come with any). That's when we found this little spot. The owner, incredibly kind & welcoming, didn't hesitate to sell us some rice even though we weren't planning to dine in. But then we saw their Saturday specials & something told us we had to try it.
One bite, & we were completely hooked. The flavors were bold, rich, & absolutely unforgettable. We ended up putting aside our original takeout & fully committing to this new discovery. It was that good.
Sadly, we had to leave town early the next morning, so we didn't get a chance to come back before heading home. But that one meal lingered in our minds. My husband & I kept talking about it how flavorful everything was, how warm & genuine the couple was, & how we had to come back. We made a promise to ourselves that we'd return the following year.
& we did.
& just like that first time, they did not disappoint. The craving that built up for an entire year was completely satisfied. Their Saturday specials, the nasi lemak, & the noodles they made for my husband every dish was packed with flavor & soul. You can tell they cook with love. Everything tastes homemade in the best way possible comforting, authentic, & deeply satisfying.
What made the experience even more special is the couple who runs it. The husband & wife are some of the kindest people we've met humble, friendly, & so welcoming. On our return visit, his wife offered me a cup of chai tea, which was the perfect touch for the cold day. It was warm, fragrant, & felt like a hug in a cup.
We genuinely can't get enough of their food. I could eat it every day & never grow tired of it. This place is more than a restaurant it's a reminder of how food, made with heart & care, can create lasting memories. To the amazing husband & wife behind these dishes: thank you. We'll be back again & again.
Oh.... & did I mention? We came all the way from Boston. We drove almost six hours just to eat here again… & it was worth every mile.
An authentic, homestyle dining experience, this place is truly underrated & deserves all the recognition it can get!
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the sweet & friendly staff, whose attentive service made our experience even more enjoyable.
The menu is a delightful journey through the diverse flavors of Indian cuisine, & I can confidently say that it's one of the best & most flavorful we've tried so far.
The Nasi Lemak it was amazing, bursting with flavor & beautifully presented. Each component was thoughtfully crafted & made for a satisfying meal.
Additionally, the fact that everything is halal is a great bonus, ensuring that everyone can enjoy.
It is a fantastic dining destination that should not be overlooked. With its incredible food, warm service, & welcoming atmosphere.

I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but this Malaysian & Sri Lankan gem on Ogilvy absolutely deserves it. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the kindest, most caring staff I've ever encountered. They're always smiling, gentle, & genuinely passionate about what they do. They take the time to explain each dish with such love that you can feel their energy & pride in every word.
& the FOOOOOOD… ohhh my goodness… it's OUTTTTT of this world!!! So full of flavor, perfectly spiced, & just absolutely delicious. Every bite feels like a warm hug. The positive vibes in this place are contagious, & I always leave happier than when I came in.
If you haven't been yet, trust me - you're missing out. Canada Best is a whole experience, & I can't wait to go back. 🙌🔥🍛❤?
I had a chance to visit this restaurant recently. The ambiance was quite nice, with a comfortable seating arrangement. The food was flavorful, though some dishes could use a bit more seasoning. The service was friendly, but there was a slight delay in getting our order. Overall, it was a decent experience, & I might visit again to try something new from the menu.
Took late lunch today with family, i must say that the food & the service are excellent. Happy to meet in person with the owner that came from similar origin in south east asia. The nasi lemak authenticity remind me of my old days when I visit KL long time ago. All the menus that we order today not failed us, all are excellent, rich of flavors.

Was walking in the neighborhood & searched on Google for recommended places, & this restaurant popped up. Was welcomed by a very nice & friendly man & he gave me good suggestions. The food was great. I ordered Nasi Lemak & noodles/ chicken. Spicy & flavorful. The family back home agreed & was happy about this discovery.
My god am I impressed!! If you look at my profile you'll see that I mostly only remember the bad experiences with restaurants & establishments. Rarely am I ever blown away by something but this meal has done something extremely special. Props to the chef. The combination of flavors in the shrimp fried rice was like nothing I've had before. 10/10 one the best meals I've had this year.
Spectacular Malaysian & Sri Lankan food. The Nasi Lemak was amazingly flavorful & well spiced. The owner is very welcoming & helpful in offering up his suggestions. My wife & I went tonight for the first time & we're already looking forward to coming back!
