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.
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 had beef rendang & nasi lemak, then a mango lassi & masala chai for our walk home, it was perfect. food was delicious, the spicy anchovy chutney was quite spicy for me but so good i braved myself to eat all of it, the boiled egg helped a lot actually. the spices on the fried chicken was very delicious too! & the crispy anchovies! the sour chutney on the rendang was also very yummy!
i really appreciate the kind owners' detailed attention to the food & drinks they make & to their customers. go here to support your local business!
The nasi lemak, meat thali, & fried shrimp noodles were all excellent, but especially the nasi lemak! Masala chai & mango lassi were great too! The owners are a sweet & hospitable couple from Sri Lanka & Malaysia.

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.
