Siwalee Cuisine Thailandaise brings the favors of Thailand's street food to the heart of Montreal. We serve authetic, home style Thai dishes - just like you find at a Bangkok food market.
Siwalee Cuisine Thaïlandaise draws praise for authentic Thai flavors, a warm family run atmosphere, friendly and attentive service, and good value, with frequent nods to green curry, pad see ew, pad thai, massaman and tom yum, as well as tom kha, papaya salad and mango sticky rice; the space is described as casual and inviting, the portions generous and the quality reliable across visits, and the owners' personal hospitality is often highlighted; while a few reviews note milder flavors or more standard profiles in some dishes and a couple of items such as gyoza or dumplings not standing out, the overall impression is that Siwalee is a hidden gem in Montreal offering authentic Thai cuisine, a standout experience for many, and a place they expect to return to and recommend.
We ordered a selection of dishes with the view of tasting for dinner & then taking the leftovers home.
The dumplings with peanut sauce & the chicken meatballs were both amazing to start our dinner.
The chicken Tom Yum & chicken Massaman Curry were outstanding & delicious.
For mains we ordered the Spicy Crispy Chicken with mango salad & the Beef Pad See Ew.
The portions were quite large which makes this restaurant extremely good value for delicious Thai food.
Highly recommend this restaurant!
Adorable family owned restaurant! The mango salad & laab were to die for - so refreshing in the 40 degree weather we've been having! & I can't forget about the best Thai milk tea I've had in mtl! My kids loved the food as well, this restaurant has kid friendly options & a high chair- we'll def be back
Edit: we have been back a bunch more times & I can say the taste somehow just gets better & better! The mango chicken dish is to die for!
Nous avons commandé en entrée des dumplings avec sauce aux arachides. C'était correct & tiède. Comme repas principal, nous avons pris les deux spécialités du chef, soit le poulet croustillant avec salade de mangue & le curry vert. Le poulet croustillant était tiède & un peu trop vinaigré, mais le goût dans son ensemble était correct. Le curry vert avec poulet était succulent, nous le recommandons. Petit resto bon rapport qualité prix. Le restaurant était plein & les gens semblaient apprécier l'endroit.
Amazing Thai food. The flavours are incredible. We had the tofu pad thai, papaya salad, larb salad, mango sticky rice & the pandas custard. All delicious.
We ordered the following:
- Thai Iced Thai + Thai Milk Tea
- Som Tam (Papaya Salad)
- Pad See Ew (Beef)
- Kaeng Khiao Wan (Green Curry - Chicken)
- Khao niao mamuang (Mango Sticky Rice)
Everything was excellent. Literally everything. The Som Tam despite being spicy was not overpowered. You could taste the complexity of the sweet & sour from the ingredients. The Pad See Ew was a very generous portion garnished with fresh chinese brocoli & just the perfect mixture of pad see ew sauce & caramelization on the noodles. The green curry was very tasty & the texture of the curry itself was perfect! The marinated protein (chicken in our case) was tender & juicy! The meal ended with a classic Thai dessert, a phenomenal mango & sticky rice.
Overall, we greatly enjoyed our food.
The service was top notch. Family owned restaurant with attentive staff, this restaurant should be on your radar if you enjoy Thai food or if you have the craving for an authentic Thai experience.
My wife is Thai, & I have lived in Thailand myself & we highly recommend this restaurant. We'll come back again for sure!
Authentic Thai flavours & warm friendly service. We were served by the owner & her daughter & we shared stories, laughs & the hospitality was nothing short of esquisite.
We ordered the Mango Salad, Pad Kraw Pao & the Massaman Curry. All were delicious, full of flavour & plenty of meat! The Mango Sticky rice dessert was sweet but not too sweet 🥭Price was also exceptional for the quality.
I would recommend to anyone!

Had a very wholesome experience! We came with a group of 8 as part of our bachelor party. The owner greeted us & immediately we felt at home. It felt like we had a family meal. The restaurant is thai family run & the food was authentic. I ordered the fried chicken cutlet, fried dumplings & papaya salad. Great price & extremely delicious. Will definitely come back!
Such a great find! The food was super fresh, authentic & full of flavor. The papaya salad & Tom Yum soup were amazing. Staff were really friendly & made us feel right at home. Cozy vibe & great prices. Definitely coming back!
I recently visited Siwalee Cuisine Thaïlandaise, a new Thai restaurant in Montreal, & I was genuinely impressed! This cozy spot delivers bold, authentic Thai flavors & a welcoming atmosphere that made for a great dining experience.
I tried a mix of dishes, & everything was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. I started with the mix fried fish balls & gyoza - both delicious & crispy. But the real standout appetizer for me was the papaya salad. Highly recommended! It was incredibly fresh, with just the right balance of sweetness, acidity, & spice - exactly how a Thai papaya salad should be.
For the main course, I had the shrimp Tom Yum soup, which was aromatic, rich, & packed with flavor. It had that perfect balance of heat, citrus, & lemongrass. I ended the meal with a comforting mango sticky rice, which was soft, creamy, & just sweet enough. To drink, the Thai milk tea was smooth & refreshing - the perfect finish.
Even though the restaurant is still new, the service was warm & attentive, & the space was clean & inviting. You can tell the team really cares about quality & hospitality.
