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 might be what home might feel like. I am not Sri Lankan nor Malaysian but this restaurant & its owners brought me & my friend a newfound sense of belonging & warmth.
The food was high in quality, good & with generous portions
The atmosphere almost felt like eating food cooked by your grandmother.
The owners are absolute gems!
This is a must in Montreal
Very nice hidden gem. Not many places to have Malaysian & this place was delicious. Very hospitable, homemade, momma poppa vibes. Servings are generous & food tasty. Will be coming back!
The best place in Montreal (& maybe Canada) for Malaysian food. Hole-in-the-wall kind of place owned by a lovely Sri-Lankan & Malaysian couple. I've been to Malaysia & their Nasi Goreng & Nasi Lemak is better than a lot of places I've tried in Malaysia. Very friendly people & service too.
Amazing food experience! Friendly owner & the food was very authentic, cheap & most importantly delicious. I definitely recommend the Nasi Lemak & Shrimp Noodles. There's no better malaysian or Sri Lanka restaurant in Montreal
Incredible Malaysian food in Park Ex, one of the few in Montreal. Warm service in multiple languages, incredible food. The $22 meat thali (available on Saturday only) has a variety of curry & easily feeds two people. Chicken rolls are delicious & filling & a great value.

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.
I have tried their Nasi Lemak dish & I found it was very good honestly (it's their special dish at this restaurant). Halal Sri Lankan & Malaysian food based on what they mentioned. I will try the other meals on the regular menu next time & give another review!
AMAZING 😍! Having been to Malaysia a few times, we know how delicious the food is. Ever since, we have been trying to find authentic Malaysian food in Montreal.
Discover Canada Best! It felt so good to finally eat a nasi lemak here in Canada. Wow! We were blown away. Just so good & authentic! Absolutely delicious. Reasonable prices too.
