Nous avons été manger pour la 1er fois à ce restaurant car nous séjournions à l'hôtel Crystal. WoW ce fut un coup de coeur!! Le serveur Kolya était souriant, sympathique & nous a recommandé le boeuf panang… mais quel délice!!! Juste assez épicé & fond dans la bouche. De plus l'équipe que forma ait notre serveur Kolya avec la chef de table Marilie était superbe! Marilie aussi souriante & serviable que sont collègue! Bravo nous y retournerons c'est certain!
This is a MUST try restaurant in Montreal !! Everything is top notch from service to the food to the staff especially I wanna give a big shoutout to Julianne for making my birthday night special by surprising with a delicious dessert at the end !! I recommend 100% 5 star service
I've been to Siam about four or five times now, & overall, I would say it's a solid, well-rounded restaurant. The space itself is elegant without being over the top. You can tell the restaurant is aiming for that more elevated dining experience, & in most ways, it succeeds.
Let's start with what keeps me coming back: the table d'hôte. It's kind of their signature offering, a generous spread of five to six starters, two mains, rice, & either tea or coffee to wrap up for 90$. It's a great format if you want to explore the menu in one sitting. You get variety, consistency, & good value for what you receive.
The appetizers are solid across the board. From crispy spring rolls & chicken satay to those coconut shrimp skewers & dumplings, everything comes out fresh, well plated, & balanced in flavour. The sauces are well thought out, sweet chili, peanut, nuoc cham, & the mango salad adds that much-needed crunch & acidity. It's not reinventing anything, but it's all well executed.
The real star, though & I don't say this lightly is the beef red curry! It's phenomenal. The beef is so tender it literally melts in your mouth, like butter on a hot skillet. The curry itself is rich, velvety, & full of depth. You get layers of flavour: creamy coconut, a punch of chili heat, those unmistakable notes of lemongrass & kaffir lime, all balanced in a way that hits the palate just right. I've had it every single time I've gone, & it's one of the few dishes I'd actually describe as addictive.
Now... the less exciting part. The table d'hôte hasn't changed in at least three years. Same starters, same mains, same everything. & while it's comforting to know what to expect, I do think the menu could benefit from a bit of seasonal rotation or at least one or two new additions. For a place that positions itself on the higher end, a little evolution would go a long way. When I go out for this kind of dining experience, part of the joy is in discovering new things... & right now, that's missing.
That's where the five-star rating drops a bit for me. It's not the quality, that's there. It's the lack of freshness in the offering over time.
The drink menu is solid but leans expensive. Cocktails are well made & beautifully presented, tropical, often layered with Thai flavours like basil, ginger, or mango, but again, it adds up quickly, especially if you're doing the full menu.
Service is generally great, professional & warm, & the pace is well managed. You can feel the intention of offering a more refined experience. That said, I did have one visit that really missed the mark. One of the mains came out bland, which was a shock given how flavourful the food usually is. The dish was genuinely disappointing, & unfortunately, the staff didn't acknowledge it or offer anything to make up for it, which, to be honest, was a bit of a letdown at this price point. But in fairness, it was a one-time thing out of several great meals.
Most recently, I brought my partner, who's from Asia & usually quite tough to impress when it comes to Southeast Asian cuisine. He was genuinely impressed, with the flavours, the attention to detail, & the plating. That reaction alone gave me some reassurance that despite the stagnant menu, the core quality is still there.
So yes, Siam is still a place I would recommend. The dishes are consistent, visually beautiful, & generally packed with flavour. It's just time for the menu to get the same kind of attention the plating & ambiance already do.
10/10 pour la nourriture (essayer le Cari Panang boeuf)
10/10 cocktail (beau & délicieux - Mango sticky rice)
10/10 le service, service dévoué (servit par : Kolya une perle)
10/10 l'ambiance, pas trop bruyant, belle salle, belle deco
I was hosting a Bridal Shower for my friend & thankfully Siam offered a private room. They were extremely accommodating with us bringing our decor, setting up, & bringing in little treats. The staff were extremely welcoming. Oliver was funny, kind & went above & beyond for us & the group. (As you can tell in the photo- He had the soon to be bride & guests laughing the entire time).
Not only that, the food was AMAZING. We had ordered from the set menu. Which was extremely worth it. I had gotten the Chicken Satay skewers (Super tender & flavourful) & the Green Beef Curry. (The amount of meat was generous which is usually rare for fancy places). Both of these dishes were amazing & I've had lots of Thai food.
Other than our room, the interior of the restaurant was beautiful & had a massive buddha statue, which I loveee.
I am from out of town, so hosting an event in another city is hard, but Siam made it extremely easy for me & I did not feel judged or pressured by the staff with the amount of decor we had.
It's been a while since I've had food that blew my mind. Siam is the best place to go if you love authentic yet elevated Thai food.
We had the duck wontons, khao soi & the Thai roasted chicken followed by the mango sticky rice for dessert. Each dish & element was unique & had levels of flavour.
Would definitely recommend this place for special occasions.

We received the best service by Anna. She was so kind & fast & attended to all of us so promptly. Beat service we've received ! The food is also very delicious & huge portions . Would highly recommend.
An exceptional experience from start to finish! The service was impeccable, & the staff was attentive & friendly. The warm & inviting atmosphere made our evening even more special. The food was simply delicious, beautifully presented, & made with high-quality ingredients. A special thanks to Olivier for his outstanding service & kindness. I highly recommend this restaurant & will definitely be back!
Just want to start off by saying this restaurant went above & beyond to make sure I had an amazing experience. Greatest experience I ever had. I also want to thank Athit & Oliver who were our servers for the night. Super friendly & gave us amazing service! I had a reservation on Valentine's Day but accidentally booked it the day after. They took us no problem & gave us an amazing section. Food was also very good & very filling. Worth every penny! I HIGLY recommend!
Had the same experience as another patron's review earlier today, 01/26/25. The service was very disappointing. I had to ask for more water, the check twice, a spoon for dessert, etc. For my main course, I asked to sub filet mignon for shrimp & was told it would be more. I agreed to the up charge, yet when I got the bill it was more than previously stated. When I pointed this out, she said they got the amount wrong & just shrugged. How unprofessional. No acknowledgment as I was heading out either. Food was somewhat bland. Would not return nor recommend, unfortunately.
Je recommande très fortement ce restaurant. Le cari au boeuf braisé etait tout simplement délicieux dans un bouillon de lait de coconut somptueux. J'ai déjà hate d'y retourner. Staff TRÈS sympathique & accomodants.
