Where to Eat Fantastic Filipino Food in Montreal | Eater Montreal

"Tucked behind an unobtrusive exterior, Cuisine de Manille reveals a sleek, open dining area run by the Contaoe family: Dado, who has lived and worked in Côte‑des‑Neiges since the mid‑eighties and opened the restaurant in 2003 (moving it to Avenue Victoria in 2012), and his son Peter, who often greets guests from behind the counter. As a family‑owned spot committed to homestyle Filipino cooking, they keep the menu traditional and rotating buffet‑style, making it ideal for sampling staples like chicken adobo, BBQ pork and laing (a spicy, coconut‑milk taro dish). Its authenticity is clear — many of the customers are Filipino families who come for reliable, familiar flavours after long days of work." - Stephane Lavoie
