THAILAND -- what comes to your mind when thinking about THAILAND? Is it the temple, the local market, the crazy nightlife, or the Thai smile?!
For me, it is PLAIN SIMPLE: THAI STREET FOOD! Just the ordinary comfort food next to the street - the smell of curries, the colourful dishes with perfect spices, and the wok skill of local vendors.
THAM.MA.DA, a Thai word used to describe something ordinary or simple, is a casual dining cuisine serving ordinary but authentic Thai street dishes. As well as Thai inspired drinks that will bring the “ordinary but extraordinary” vibes, the “same same, but different” food on the plate for you to EXPERIENCE.
Thammada stands out with a warm, intimate dining room, a menu full of fresh, well seasoned Thai dishes, and a friendly, attentive staff that makes the experience feel effortless. Across many visits, dishes like pad Thai, pad see ew, curries, satay and papaya salads are praised for balanced flavors, quality ingredients, and vibrant aromatics, while drinks and desserts add to the enjoyable vibe. The setting is described as cozy and charming, ideal for dates or casual meals with friends, and many highlight reasonable prices given the quality, with a few noting some variability in portion size or pacing. Overall, Thammada delivers authentic Thai flavors, thoughtful service, and a welcoming atmosphere that leaves guests eager to return.
Nouveau coup de coeur pour moi & ma blonde, c'est devenu notre restaurant préféré, je le suggère à n'importe qui qui aime mangé thaïlandais ! Bonne dégustation
Bangkok Iced Tea (mocktail) - 10/10
I had the mocktail version & it was amazing-like an iced tea mixed with a mojito, which are two of my favourite drinks. The flavour was a 10/10. There was a bit too much ice, so it felt like I didn't get much actual drink, & it wasn't the most visually appealing, but don't let that stop you from ordering it.
Never Ending Summer - 3/10
This drink mostly just tasted like alcohol with little to no flavour. It was honestly not enjoyable-more like alcohol mixed with water. It looked nice, but the taste didn't match. My friend only finished it because she paid for it.
Choo Chee Goong - 9/10
This dish was delicious. I have a low spice tolerance, & while it was quite spicy for me, it wasn't overpowering-I could still taste all the flavours. I personally would have preferred it a bit less spicy, but that's just my preference. I would still definitely recommend it.
Shrimp Pad Thai - 8/10
Very tasty overall. It only came with four shrimp, so I do wish there were a few more, but they were cooked perfectly. I don't usually like when shrimp tastes overly'fishy,' but this was done really well. I forgot to ask for no egg (since I don't like it), but aside from that, I enjoyed it. I do wish the menu had more vegetable options-adding something like broccoli to the pad thai would make it even better.
Menu
I was a bit disappointed that the online menu didn't match the in-person menu, as some items I wanted to try weren't available.
Overall Food & Atmosphere
The food is definitely good, & the ambiance is cute, chill, & enjoyable.
Service
The service was a bit disappointing. We waited about 15 minutes at the beginning before anyone checked on us, & about an hour for our food-even though we arrived right at opening & were the first to order. Other tables that ordered after us received the same dishes before we did ours. We almost felt a little ignored even
There were also delays with smaller things: empty water glasses for 5-10 minutes, plates not cleared for around 10-20 minutes, & a long wait (over 10 minutes) for chopsticks after our food arrived-I had to remind the server, he had brought them to the wrong table.
While the server was kind & gave a great drink recommendation, he seemed a bit overwhelmed or scattered, especially considering the restaurant wasn't very busy. Overall, the service could have been more attentive & organized.

Un petit voyage en Thaïlande dans ce petit resto chaleureux, Tout est frais & le service est gentil. Sans prétention & sans fausse note, tout était délicieux!
A thai resto in Mile-End that was smaller than we thought but could still accommodate a big group. Floor was a bit slippery so would recommend putting a carpet. Shared different appetizers & dishes. Tasty food but more expensive & smaller portion than we thought! Service was great though!
Thamada is a great spot for date night in Montreal. The vibe is cool & relaxed, & the service was excellent. We loved the mango salad , satay skewers & the stir-fried beef with basil, chili, jasmine rice, & a crispy fried egg . Everything was delicious & well balanced. Dessert was just as good, We had the Thai roti with vanilla ice cream. A really enjoyable meal from start to finish

Seriously the best Thai restaurant in town. Everything on their menu is delicious & authentic. We especially love their Khao Soi & Pad Thai. It's our go-to spot when we crave Thai food.
the food never disappoints, easily one of the best thai restaurants in montreal. the owner & the staff are always welcoming & give us amazing service each time 🙏🏼
Très belle expérience, les plats étaient goûteux, le service était agréable. Seul point négatif, il manquait de protéines dans les plats (3 crevettes pad thai & +/- un haut de cuisse pad sew) c'est léger. Outre cela, tout était super!
Just had the most unreal dining experience at Thamada, & wow… this place is pure magic. From the moment you walk in, you're wrapped in the scent of lemongrass, chili, & all the warm, inviting vibes you'd hope for. 🌿🔥
The food? Next level. The Pad Kra Pao had that perfect holy basil kick with a fried egg so golden it deserves its own spotlight. 🍳 The Tom Yum Goong was bright, tangy, & soul-warming. It felt like a hug in a bowl. & don't even get me started on the Massaman Curry… velvety, rich, & melt-in-your-mouth tender. Pure comfort with a touch of elegance. 5 stars ong no cap.
Drinks are just as dreamy, a lemongrass spritzer that refreshes like a breeze in Bangkok, & Thai iced tea so smooth it's basically dessert in a glass.
& the server was the most professional man I've seen. Kind, great, & he could do tricks whilst preparing the drinks that I've never seen before. It's as if Dionysus the god of alcohol himself possessed the man.
Don't listen to the Nirvana reviewer, he lied in his review & doesn't know what he's talking about. I recommend Thammada for any fan of Thai food!

Literally one of the best Thai food in Montreal, in the heart of the exquisite Outremont, on the very unique Bernard street.
Outdoor patio as well as the inside decor are fantastic!
You'll become a regular once you pay this place a visit 😃
Good prices, kind staff (even though catching them may sometimes appear to be a formidable undertaking 🫢) & the special cultural experience make this spot quite representative of a Montreal restaurant!
Certainement le meilleur restaurant thaïlandais de Montréal à mon goût, on y mange très bien & j'ai toujours été très bien servi là-bas. Le cadre intimiste est idéal pour des groupes de 2 à 5 personnes. Je recommande grandement!
Overpriced Thai food, inattentive service, & an atmosphere that feels a bit like you are not welcome. We went on a Tuesday around 8 pm-I understand staff wants to close between 9-10, but for $100 for two curries, a small salad, & two non-alcoholic beverages I'd hope the service is attentive to the few guests.
The worst were Thai leaves that started to visibly to brown in my curry. No gonna visit again.

Disappointed that there was no sticky rice - what is Thai food without sticky rice? Italian places never run out of pasta, do they? Greek restaurants always have souvlaki, right? Chalet BBQ always has chicken..., so what gives? Not acceptable!
Simple menu, which I prefer. I am not thai but I have tried many thai restaurants & I did order few times from here & we ate at the restaurant too. For desserts, mango sticky rice is good but their Roti with ice cream is very good!
The very small spring roll pictured here was below average in terms of quality. The appetizer called'Poh Pia Tord' on the menu consists of 3 of these small spring rolls with an almost empty sauce container, & is sold at a ridiculous 16.95$ + tax price!!
The Pad Thai was very good though.
Overall this is a decent enough Thai place but too expensive for what it is, & there are some extremely overpriced items on the menu, which leave a sour taste in the mouth of those who fall into the trap (no other word to describe these spring rolls other than that it's a TRAP)…
