Cuisine De Manille

AMAZING authentic Filipino food. I came there with my girlfriend and had the sisig, palabok, and halo-halo for dessert! AMAZING! I was actually born in the Philippines and had these dishes before, and eating here felt like home! Definitely recommend coming here!! We’re also visiting from Massachusetts!! Definitely will be going back if we go back to Montreal!

Delicious Filipino meal. I never really had a real filipino food before, only had the palabok from Jolliebee so I did not know what to expect when I go to the real filipino restaurant. Well, turns out this place did not disappoint me at all! Everything is delicious. My fav would be the palabok. Well presented as well. Thank you for making the good food!!

One of the best meals I’ve ever had! We tried the pork adobo and BBQ chicken inasal. Both were absolutely delicious. Big thanks to Joanne and the team for the excellent service. Can’t wait to come back!

I haven’t tried much filipino food. This place provides me a great experience with the filipino food. I really love sisig. Palabok also tastes good.( salty ). The spicy chicken is sweet and not that spicy spicy. Cute decoration. But the weather is super hot and inside is so hot. Paid streer parking in front of the restaurant.

1st time : I had the 3 salads and garlic fried rice. They were all delicious. The staff are so sweet and the space is chill with good music selections 2nd time: I had the veggie lumpia Shanghai and they were great 3rd time: I usually eat vegan but I made an exception and ordered the calamari. The batter was light and flavourful and the calamari seemed to be good quality. Was defs worth the exception

📍Kamayan Delicious and fun! A generous spread of meats, seafood, and rice, it's perfect for sharing. We picked BBQ pork and chicken legs. The garlic rice was a bit dry, and I wish there was hot sauce for extra kick. 📍Halo-Halo Cool and refreshing with just the right sweetness. Loved the ube and leche flan!!! 📍Honey Melon Juice You can really taste the fresh melon! Light, fresh, and super refreshing. Great match with the meal. However $12 per drink is a bit overpriced.

The fish (bangus) has gotten a lot smaller. Will never order again, however, the pork bbq was always a favorite.

Went on a Thursday evening, and enjoyed our family dine-in as we have the place for ourselves. There are many patrons picking up orders or ordering take out. We ordered the sisig, ginataang gulay, and crispy pork with atchara. The food is what I expected. Delicious and satisfying. Considering this is in Montreal, the food, ambience, and hospitality, made me feel like I'm truly in Manila!

This is a simple Filipino restaurant with a big flavor! The restaurant is very clean and the workers know their job they're reasonably priced and give good service this is one of those restaurants that's a wonderful find in Montreal! The hollo hollo is a dessert for Kings

What a feast. The Kamayan platter is really for more than 2 people, but because everything was so delicious, I ate more than usual.

Very tasty food and friendly service. I think it's the best Filipino option in CDN. The fried chicken is excellent and the limpia rolls are unbelievable

My favorite halo halo I've had so far! Love the corn flakes sprinkled in there and very generous amounts of jackfruit, coconut and jellies. Wish there was more shaved ice so that it didn't melt into milk so fast. Great price for the amount they give too, I shared it and we were so full.

Not gonna lie, the one take away from eating here is that the food was cooked ahead and then reheated. Fried calamari and fried chicken are ok, but lose that wow factor when lukewarm. This is a grab'n'go type of place but I'm sure to ask next time for the possibility of making it fresh. Taste is pretty good overall and cafeteria style setting is very different than what I was expecting.

So we came across this spot and we were very excited to try their famous halo halo dessert/drink. We've heard great things about the drink so wanted to give it a try. It was a bit pricey ($9.95) but you get a pretty big size which was good The taro Ice cream was salty .. which I was not expecting.. it threw me off a bit but the little things inside tasted pretty good (jelly and coconut Shavings) When mixing the whole thing, the flavour was a bit confusing to the palette .. it was like having a creamy nutty dessert but with pieces of jello and flan Probably wouldn't get this again.. but service was great 100%

This is an off-season review of the only thing I had at Cuisine de Manille: Halo-Halo Halo-halo is a fun and popular Filipino treat that is best enjoyed in the heat of the summer. It's basically a mix (hence the name) of all kinds of jellies, ice cream, coconut, sweet beans, etc. Recipes and flavors vary widely, but it's kind of a tropical version of sundae. Cuisine de Manille's halo-halo is really pretty, and portions are generous. It's quite refreshing to eat in the summer - if you're into sweet (and rather artificial) flavors.

My girlfriend and I were very interested in trying Philippine food. So we took a chance and went to cuisine de Manille. We ordered the "party special" and it was excellent. There was this amazing pile of garlic rice in the center surrounded by fried pork belly, roasted vegetable, fish filets and other delicious items. The flavours were remarkable. We always talk about Cusine de Manille and we will go back for sure. Enjoy :)

Last night's mood: kamayan feast delivery for two ( fried chicken, garlic rice, eggplant salad, bbq pork, lumpiang rolls, fried tilapia, Yeah we polished it off right down to the banana leaf it was served on. Missing that Halo Halo tho . Love that they deliver and we can get a similar experience as in their resto. The food came hot and portions are great for 2-3 people. I love lumpiang (philipino egg rolls) so much that I ordered an extra batch. Would reorder there again.

My general experience with Filipino food that serves "cafeteria" style food is they tend to be pretty hit or miss for my taste palate. Showing up after 6 PM you get to choose leftovers that were prepped much earlier and they'll heat it up for you in a microwave. I don't say this negatively but simply a matter of fact. Some things shouldn't be reheated, for example calamari. Not a very rewarding experience. Price is super cheap though so great if you want to fill up on a budget. Food is authentic but overall there's better food in the area so this is a very mediocre experience for me.

Being really into Filipino food ( ehem New Jersey reppin over here) I was really anticipating Montreal's Filipino goodness! Cuisine de Manille was a top 3 search on my feed. A quick drive from downtown and parked right in front ( metered). A small modern look and greeted by the cashier/server. Decor was excellent... but the establishment is your typical order food already been cooked or your under the glass food or my way "the modern calinderia". Some looked fresh and some didn't. They offered combo meals which did not break the bank! The taste of the beef caldereta and kare kare was ok but sort of on the bland side. The stick bbq did not do justice. The Halo Halo was average. Too much jelly???

Good confort food and good service. One of the hidden gems of montreal!! I recommand the Halo Halo dessert, woth many type of jelly. Very colorful and very tasty.

This pinoy resto is always a go to whenever there is potluck at work. My coworkers enjoy their food especially the famous duo - pancit and lumpia

I visited Montreal right after my trip from The Philippines and had to check out some of the options that were in Cote de Neiges, where there is a sizable Filipino community. Cuisine de Manille serves a variety of ready made Filipino dishes to choose cafeteria style. I ordered the sisig with garlic rice and fritters...after trying some really good sisig in The Philippines the comparison just ain't the same! It's not the best sisig...it's decently made but I can't complain because it's an intensive dish if wanted fresh. The highlight for me was the halo-halo...making me remember how I enjoyed eating this refreshing icey mixture of ube, coconut milk, jelly and bean during the very hot summer days there. It looks like the dessert is a popular option as I saw many others order it right after their main meal. The dessert is really big for one person to eat so it's better for sharing!

if this place is in Vegas, it will close in 3 months. Vegas has got better food selection, friendlier and more accommodating service. This place ain't it

Nice interior. I always go here whenever I crave congee and pork bbq! Halo halo is a must try too!

The portions are huge and the service is excellent, you definitely have to try the national filipino desert Halo-Halo.

I went to Cuisine de Manille today because I had never tried Filipino food and was curious. There is no menu, but you can just choose from the food that sits in a Bain marie at the counter. Most of the food on offer was pork, some beef. I picked one pork dish and one vegetable dish, with some rice. The pork dish had a nice sauce that was a little sweet. It contained a variety of pork "cuts", from belly to tripe. There was also pork skin in it and a piece that I think might have been ear. A little unusual for me but it was all very tasty. The vegetables had a bit of a weird smell - not like food gone bad, but I think it was one of the ingredients that had a particular smell. The dish tasted ok, but I couldn't finish it because of the smell. Service was fast and friendly, most customers seemed to be Filipino so I assume the food is probably authentic.
