Very tasty south east asian food, if you’re on Ave Mont-Royal and looking to veer off the noisy terraces and into a more quaint location, I highly recommend.

The Krapow was surprisingly underwhelming in flavor for a Thai dish, so that was disappointing. The Tom Kha Gai soup was flavourful though. The service was good and it's a great neighbourhood spot, esp during the summer with tables set out on the sidewalk. The food is fine if you prefer toned down versions of Southeast Asian cuisine, but I was expecting something more authentic since Krapow seems to be aiming for a street food vibe.

We tried several dishes and none of them were authentic and they all tasted bland. The papaya salad and chicken belacon had no spice despite having 2 red flames next to it on the menu. The laksa soup was way too sour and lacked any depth of flavor. Same for the Tom Kha Ga that tasted like they just opened a can of coconut milk and mixed the chicken and veggies in there. We were very disappointed by this place.
Always nice to dine at a fully gluten free spot! Enjoyed the faux meat Krapow and Beef Krapow after a long flight

FOOD: Good variety of menu, GF options. Heat level not intense, but food flavours are fresh and balanced.
SERVICE: Friendly and attentive dine in experience. Though small, there is no feeling of being pressured to eat and go.
ATMOSPHERE: Clean with a limited number of tables and counter. Dining area does feel crowded though not really meant for long leisurely dining. Certainly comfortable and adequate for conversation and enjoyable meal. Open kitchen, you are able to see the cooks at work. Bathrooms clean with sink outside toilet room. Very nice independent restaurant in the neighbourhood!

Really had a bad experience at the restaurant, we arrived at 7:30, ordered 2 plates, there are only 4 items on the menu, and we were waited until 8:30 still no food. There were 6 people in the restaurant , plus us 2 so 8 people. I didnt expect that bad quality of service .

Almost everything is gluten free. Tastes amazing, great service!
Kudos to owner & team. The resto is tastefully decorated giving off a street vibe. Friendly service/staff & the food was hallucinating. What a celebration for your taste buds!!!! Make sure to accompany your meal with one of their rice beers to complete your experience!!! - Beef Krapow (delicious Thai dish made with ground beef, holy basil/krapow, garlic, and chili, all served with a mound of their signature rice, and topped with a fried egg ) - Beef Rendang (Indo-Malay dish of tender, savory beef flavored with shallots, lemongrass, garlic, chili, tamarind, and coconut milk, served with a mound of coconut lemon rice, fried shallots, and delicate pickled daikon slices

I was looking forward to trying this place and showed up on a Sunday around 6:30pm group of 3. Waited several minutes before the male waiter spoke with us and told us restaurant was full (which I could see). I indicated we were willing to wait and he said not to bother as it would be very long! (There was no one else waiting). I felt our presence wasn’t welcomed so we left. Hopefully the owner can see this review.

Laksa Soup 🍜 For The W!
Honestly enough can't be said about @krapow.ca located in the heart of Montreal. This unassuming spot in one of Montreal hottest neighbourhoods has been serving up delicious Thai food now for 5 delicious years. I'm just so upset at myself it took me this long to come visite!
I have to start off with one of the stars of the show the Laksa. Absolutely show stopper of a soup, can't remember the last time I've had such amazing depth of flavour in a broth. Truly beautiful balance between savory, heat and umami. A elite move if u wanna take this dish to the next level in my opinion is to add the Sambal Belacan Chicken on top. It adds a layer of crunch and texture overall to the dish that to be really adds. You can also add anyone of their 3 in house Sambals to it, all were just amazing. The noodles had amazing bounce to them, the toppings all perfectly curated. Honestly a 10/10 dish, FOODGASMIC💦 to say the least! And I like to add, everything they have is gluten free!
Next we have the Beef Rendang, origins now focusing on Indonesia and boy this dish really transported me there! It's was so flavour packed full of Spices and herbs, slowly cooked for hours and hours that the meat just feel apart in yoyr mouth. Honestly I can't believe I've only ever had this dish 3 times in my life and this time had to have been my favorite tbh. This rich, sweet and savoury Stew is just what I needed.
Last but not least we have the famous beef Krapow for what they are famous for. Honestly I've only ever had this dish made with pork so I was wondering what the difference flavour notes and textures might be. Truthfully, really pleasantly surprised. Not to much heat which was a little odd because normally every time I've had this dish it really just burns your face off. But I guess they have to keep it a little calmer for the whities LOL. But again really well balanced dish especially with the fried egg on top it really lends a richness to the entire meal you break it up and eat it all together really well done. My only thing if I were to give anything to improve or add to this dish definitely a little bit of heat, and cripier beef, but still 11/10!

See the food? ABSOLUTELY BODIED IT. My wife loved the hell out of the faux meat krapow and I couldn’t agree more. I got the beef rendang while her mom got the papaya salad. And YUMMERS. Also, the lady working here is super helpful too. She even went and helped us with parking in the area since we’re not local. Amazing place will definitely come again for out next visit.
