Food is good but pricy
What guests say about Kalapaw Cuisine Philippine
The food is often described as delicious, authentic, and generously served, with several customers recommending the halo-halo, main dishes, and sharing platters. On the other hand, many reviews mention very long waits, both dining in and for takeout, along with inconsistent service. The place is often considered clean, welcoming, and pleasant, but a few people found some portions small, some dishes served cold, or certain service details in need of improvement.
Reviews / Ratings for Kalapaw Cuisine Philippine
Food was good. Another time we took some family visiting for lunch but unfortunately they don't allow service dogs and we couldn't sit.
A little too long for the waiting but come eating time every feeling just gonna be disappearing. So, come early because they seem to cook everything from scratch which can take long but is pretty good considering it's fresh.
well worth your money
Food so homey and comforting. Really yummy and we love it here. Very reasonable price
Good Food💕
Unfortunately we do not recommend this restaurant. We called 45 minutes earlier to order for a pick up. We were craving for bbq pork so order it with other plates. Once home, the bbq sticks were not there worth for minimum 40$. Lost the money. Food was overall lacking taste. If you want pinoy food, I recommend restaurants located in Plamondon area.
The halo halo is plain. It’s like ice cream with toppings. Other Resto put leche flan, tasty ube and classic Filipino halo halo main ingredients with aromatic halo halo flavour.
Took nearly an hour for our food to arrive.
Good experience
45 mins wait & counting…. not sure how long for 2 sticks of pork bbq & sisig takes to cook ?
My fave
The waiting time for take out is crazy long. I ordered 12:53 and got my order at around 1:30. When I arrived the couple before me who wants take out backed out because waiting time is 1 hr. , (I assumed they have more order than me)Shouldve been my hint 🤣 I ordered anyway coz Im really craving filipino food (the restaurant I usually go to didnt have take out that day) and its just 1 order, inasal and rice. While waiting, there was a family at the bar (I thought they are also ordering take out) but they were given plates and etc. after sometime i looked again at their direction I thought they were done eating but i realized their food wasnt served even. 😬 they cancelled eventually coz they were told 20mins more. You seriously need to improve your preparation time.
Ive been coming here since they have been around. We always come back for the food but their service is top notch. Ran into an issue and the owner and cook fixed it right away. A true gem. Thank you.
The service was great. Very warm, very professional and quick to respond. Huge interior with nice decors. Plenty of parking. Food: i was told by my friends that they had the best-tasting Filipino food in Montreal so we tried some yesterday. We ordered the platter. I didnt find the mix of skewered items to be that flavorful considering the rich marinades and sauces that we have in the Philippines- it just didnt show. Out of everything we ordered, the calamari stood out the most. People told me that Halo-halo was their best food item in the menu but by thr time we finished dinner, they were about to close so maybe next time.
i wish i was from montreal so i could become a regular here
Ordered crispy pata. Huge serving but not tasty and it was cold. Expensive.
I ordered for takeout, and the wait time was crazy. It took around 40 minutes for only three items, most of which were just fried food. Since it was a to-go order, I expected it to be quicker, but it felt like dine-in customers were being prioritized over takeout orders. The lumpia, it was still pink inside, not sure whether it was fully cooked. Overall, the experience was disappointing due to the long wait and food quality issues.
Our food was somehow sent to another table and it was too late in the evening to order again. We payed for our overpriced sodas and left.
Variety of dishes perhaps the food in a style of a province in PH🇵🇭, I never seen a lechon kawali looking like crispy pata tossed in a sinigang before 🤣 Maybe it just me I came from Manila and I dont like my crispy pata soggy in a soup. The food gets cold fast, perhaps invest on a hot plate or a plug-in pot.. the place is spacious enough to have those equipment around. The crispy pata side sauce was diluted and it came in half an ounce remkin.. it should be at least 3oz
Really great place if you want Filipino cuisine! The mains were delicious and the Kamayan platter was a good size. The desserts were great as well! ☺️
I must say I was looking for a real pansit bolol for a long time , just found it at kalapaw at a very good Price too waitress is smiling and give good advice on food Best place in West Island ill be back thank you
Great meal and big servings too. Really enjoyed our lunch. All the staffs are kind, polite and very professional too. We went with our baby and we asked if we can get a corner seat to which they kindly gave us ( gave us the opportunity to feed our baby and put baby to nap while we eat). Highly recommended restaurant, will sjrely come back. During my husband's bachelor dinner, they also dined in and they all have great feedbacks about the food.
Halo Halo was very good and the service was great. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.
pretty good dishes but the portion is a little small, very long waiting time, nice service.
