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.
The photos online look beautiful & definitely set higher expectations.
When we arrived, the actual space felt more simple & casual than expected.
The food itself was good, but the flavors were quite standard - the kind you'd find at many Thai restaurants. Everything was enjoyable & perfectly fine, just not particularly surprising or memorable.

This is such a hidden gem for authentic thai food in a budget! Tried the massaman curry with beef & chicken pad thai. The massaman was sweet with rich flavors of various seasonings, while the pad thai was flavorful & smokey! Truly enjoyed this meal here. Also the people are so sweet, I will definitely be back again just to see them again. Can't wait to try the other dishes soon as well.
One of the best hidden gems in Montréal! Come visit if you want to try authentic Thai food. The owner is super nice & welcoming! My personal favourite is their tom kha soup😌
Siwalee is the best Thai spot you could possibly find in the town! I absolutely love the pad see ew beef & green curry! You should all give it a try!!!!
Siwalee Cuisine Thaïlandaise was incredibly accommodating! I ordered a Thai green tea not knowing it contained condensed milk, & since I'm lactose intolerant they immediately apologized, waived the charge, & offered another drink. Their honesty & clarity were refreshing. Plus, the mango sticky rice & creamy coconut sago were absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be back!
The food is pure joy! This is made with so much love, i met the owner & chef, & it's a real reflection of how flavorful the dish was! For once the spicy barometer was on point!! The portion is amazing as well, cant wait to try more & would recommend 100/10
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!
Friendly & accommodating staff, really enjoyed the massaman & green curries. Thai milk tea was typically delicious. Mango sticky rice could have been a little better like serving it on top of the rice & adding more sauce.
Decor is a little basic, but I'm sure it'll improve as they get more established.
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.
I tried the Thai Green Curry (veg), Veg Momos, & Pad Thai. The Thai Green Curry was absolutely delicious - rich, flavorful, & perfectly balanced. The portion size was just right too.
The Pad Thai & Momos were a little on the sweeter side. I actually enjoyed the mild sweetness in the Pad Thai, but I felt the Momos could've been better without it. That said, they were still tasty & well made.
Overall, it's a nice place with delicious food & good portions. I left very satisfied & would definitely come back again!
