Restaurant Papa is described in reviews as delivering authentic, homestyle Filipino cuisine with generous portions and affordable prices, a cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and dishes that feel like a home cooked meal, with standouts like crispy pata and jackfruit and even a flavorful, colorful dessert drink. At the same time, some orders raise concerns about allergy safety and food quality, including pre ordered meals that contained eggs despite requests, leftovers in adobo and pancit, and a fatty adobo with too many noodles relative to vegetables; a few comments also mention service lapses and a suggestion to limit orders to better respect allergy needs. Overall, the place remains a welcoming go to for comfort food, open on Tuesday mornings and praised for authenticity, generous portions, and value, though guests advise improving allergy awareness and consistency to maintain the home style experience.
I don't have any photos that execute written facts ... however, I was in a sham after being told to visit & order from this restaurant. In truth the dishes I tasted were too bland for my palette. Their pricing per dish is superb. In addition the amount of food given is enormous by restaurant standards. For me I feel where they fell short is the flavoring wow-factor. Mind y'all, I have a West Indies up growing where dishes are seasoned to perfection. I felt challenged to taste because a person from the Phil's said they are good. Now I disagree. I believe this restaurant can be a landmark of delicious dishes 1- if they can take positive criticism & invest in renovations. I don't think the person serving me should have had a beard every so long while hovering over the displayed dishes. I guarantee you I will go back to this restaurant some time soon.

If you want the authentic & affordable Filipino cuisine, restaurant papas is the place to be! It is my favorite filipino restaurant here in Montreal. The serving is huge, staff are super nice & funny & the atmosphere gives a carinderia & turo turo vibes from home! Everything is delish & my favorites are liempo, pata, pakbet, laing, fried fish, humba, papaitan & many more.
My go-to spot for good Filipino food. They are welcoming & very generous with their portions. I've tried most of their options, & everything they serve is great
This is my first time in Canada never thought i would taste home dishes.. Until my mom brought me here , my best experience home cooked filipino dishes my favourite is combo lenchon kawali & ginataang langka with rice & every pinoy dish they served. it was my home restaurant.. i really recommend this pinoy resto Papa's❤️the best Talaga affordable pa.. hindi kmi magsawa dito❤️a at yung serving madami kaya busog na busog kapa❤️
Comforting food, tastes like home 🇵🇭. The $15 combo is a great deal as it comes with two dishes, rice & a drink. The adobo was flavourful, sinigang was sour & the turon was a great way to finish off the meal. The tito & titas were very nice & friendly. The cafeteria style reminded me so much of the Filipino karinderia. The restaurant is quite spacious, lots of seating & tall ceilings. Will definitely be coming back & bringing friends here!
If you're Filipino & familiar with "turo-turo", this is exactly it, a genuine no-frills turo-turo place from folks up in the northern region of the Philippines serving up affordable & great tasting dishes. If you aren't Filipino, just know that the dishes here are genuine. We got two entrees with rice, a halo-halo (cold dessert) & a bunch of turon (banana dessert). The halo-halo was creamy & wasn't too sweet. The turon seems to be the best seller since there were a bunch of folks coming in & out ordering it to go, it did taste great when we ate it at the restaurant & tasted great even the day after.
My favorite Filipino eatery of all time! Portions are generous, price is good, people are friendly. Whenever I can, I always order the Papitan! Bonus is their generosity for feeding the less fortunate people. Very impressed.

Quelle belle découverte! Resto style cafétéria avec plusieurs choix de viandes & poissons. Tout était délicieux, surtout le léchons, & les portions très généreuses. Nous étions 7 personnes & on a tous adoré nos choix. Le seul bémol est qu'il faudrait un plus de choix de légumes. Le personnel au comptoir étaient d'une super gentillesse. On sent la fierté philippine!
Found this treasure accidentally! The minute I walked in, it felt like I am back in the Philippines! The food is fresh, delicious & in goood quantities. I got the Adobo, Bicol Express, Beef soup & a veggie dish! Everything was excellent! & the service was impeccable. I wanted half of the quantity of rice that they serve... she charged me less for that! Going back again today.
One of my go to Filipino food places as their food is great & the prices & portions are fair. I only wish Bopis was permanent on the menu!! Definitely recommend!
