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.
We had the shrimp noodles & the lamb kitty rotti & everything was delicious! The service is really friendly & the portions are generous. We will definitely be back :)
The food is excellent, & the lady & her husband that cooks the food knows what they doing. If you like spicy Indian food, it's the place to be. & don't forget to take the mouton roll 🤤
Recently found this little gem serving authentic sri lankan food. The food was tasty, & the owner offers friendly service. I would recommend this to everyone.
We are from out of town & were starting to get disappointed in the Montréal food scene but then we discovered this little gem. As someone who spent a lot of time in Singapore, the Malay dishes from here take me back. Generous portions, flavours are spot on, food feels home-cooked & the owner is super sweet. We're seriously debating coming back here for some takeout on our way out.
I recently visited a restaurant in Canada & had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, with modern décor that created a comfortable dining environment. The staff were friendly, attentive, & quick to accommodate special requests, which made the service excelence 😊👍

Les nouilles de crevettes étaient vraiment très bonnes. Ce plat est servi avec un mélange de légumes croquants & frais.
Le gérant est adorable !
Bref, une adresse à recommander !
The 4.8 score does not lie. This is perhaps one of the most underrated spots in town. This restaurant seriously serves some of the tastiest dishes you'll ever have in Montreal. I've eaten here three times now & I'm hooked on their chicken noodles dish. Fresh, crispy vegetables, tasty chicken, perfect noodles & a generous portion. Canada Best is mos def the best of Canada.👌🏽
Honestly wasn't planning on writing this but bossman at the front told me to leave a review so here I am. This is one of those'if you know you know' kinda spot & was planning on gatekeeping it for myself but it's truly the real deal. Try everything
Franchement, j'ai adoré ! La nourriture était pleine de saveurs & préparée avec beaucoup d'amour par une maman malaisienne. Les portions étaient énormes & servies bien chaudes, comme à la maison. Le propriétaire est super sympa &, surprise, il parle même japonais ! Une super découverte de la cuisine malaisienne & pakistanaise. Si vous passez par là, allez-y, je recommande vivement ce restaurant !
