 Sophisticated yet relaxed |
1242 Mackay Street Montreal, QC H3G 2H4 Canada +1 514 932 7099 |
The atmosphere is sophisticated yet relaxed at this highly regarded Mackay Street Asian establishment. The chef is Vietnamese, but he is adept at a whole range of styles, from Szechuan and Cantonese to Thai. The appetizers are distinctive both in texture and taste. They include Mini-Crab Rolls and Hunan Dumplings, while main dishes feature a series of lively hot pots and Vietnamese soups. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Meaty vegetarian |
4088 St-Denis Street (Near Duluth) Montreal, QC H2W 2M5 Canada +1 514 843 4194 |
If you like Thai food but you are also a vegetarian, this is the place to indulge your tastes. The décor is not overly formal and the ambience is guaranteed to set you at ease. Avoiding even nam pla, Thai cuisine's essential fish-based sauce, the menu includes a series of "vegetarian meat" dishes. These are bean curd products, processed and cooked to look and taste like meat. Standard vegetarian dishes are also available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Meat for the vegetarians |
4088 Rue St Denis Montreal, QC H2W 2M5 Canada +1 514 843 4194 http://www.chuchai.com |
Tired of the same mundane vegetarian grub? Chuchai is for you. This purely vegetarian eatery is known for its faux meat and serves up a variety of Thai delicacies. Noodles, mock chicken, mock shrimp, mock fish and tofu entrees cover the major portion of the menu. The flavors and aromas speak of traditional Thai. Do try the mock fish with basil, coconut milk and spicy sauce. The non-vegetarians will be in for a surprise and for the veggie freaks, it will definitely be a never before experience.

Ultra-cheap noodle house |
3711 St-Laurent Boulevard (Near des Pins) Montreal, QC H2X 2V7 Canada +1 514 288 9593 |
With a huge menu of Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese specialties, this bare-bones noodle house has quickly become a neighbourhood standby. The most expensive item runs only CAD8 ("Stir fried shrimps or squids with garlic sauce"), while the enormous Tonkinoise soups (noodles, broth, beef or chicken and vegetables) are a boon to the budget-conscious. The decor is non-existent and the music is treacly Asian pop, but you'll be in and out so fast that you won't have much time to look around. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hong Kong in Canada |
1115, rue Clark Montreal, QC H2Z 1K3 Canada +1 514 393 3838 |
The excellent traditional Chinese cuisine served at Lotte Furama shall make you feel like you are in Hong Kong. The eatery is charming and a row of T.V. monitors in the long hall play Chinese videos all the time. The menu is extensive; do try their specialties- the sparrow nest soup and lobster. Though a little expensive, the over all experience is worth the money. You certainly won't regret paying a visit. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Thai-Chinese fusion |
837 Mont-Royal Avenue East (Near St-Christophe) Montreal, QC H2J 1W9 Canada +1 514 521 7035 |
Asian hybrid restaurants are the latest rage; this one is attracting a large clientèle with a Thai-Szechuan fusion. The décor is modest, clean-cut, and comfortable. There's plenty of greenery and a glass front allows a good view of the vibrant Plateau street scene. Thai dishes include national noodle standard Pad Thai, Steamed Fish with Green Curry and Chicken-Coconut Milk Soup. Szechuan delicacies include Hargow Shrimp Dumplings, Tofu Fritters, Duck in Pancakes, and Shrimps on Fried Spinach. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Eclectic mix |
365 Bernard Avenue West Montreal, QC H2V 1T6 Canada +1 514 279 0688 |
It's not much to look at, but this small Outremont-area Vietnamese packs a punch. What is lost in cramped dining space is compensated for by delightful fare. The cuisine is an eclectic combination of Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai. Specialties include green papaya (the restaurant is named after it) in two types of salads: one with meat, the other with squid and chilies. They also make a tremendous seafood stew. Service is friendly. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bangkok hangout |
1235 Guy Street Montreal, QC H3H 2K5 Canada +1 514 933 9949 |
Thai restaurants are renowned for recreating the atmosphere of a Bangkok hangout, and this is no exception, with recessed lighting in a blue and beige room giving off a golden glow. The seating is also comfortable and relaxing. Whether you are a novice or an aficionado of Thai food, just about everything on the menu is excellent here. Dishes include fish cakes, Cold Squid Salad, shrimp with eggplant, Pad Thai and duck in red curry. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Wild decor and first class kitchen |
3550 St-Laurent Boulevard (Near Milton) Montreal, QC H2X 2V1 Canada +1 514 289 0998 |
As with nearly every restaurant on St-Laurent between Milton and Sherbrooke, Red Thai sports an eye-catching décor. More rare for the area is its first-class kitchen, which offers a very reasonable table d'hôte: soup, choice of appetizers (shrimp or meat dumplings), lemon sorbet, and one of seven main courses. Choose from sautéed sliced fillet mignon, sautéed assorted Oriental vegetables or chicken in green curry. Put out the fire with a pint of imported beer or a selection from the very reasonable wine list. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Pan-Asiatic cuisine |
2090 de la Montagne Street (Near de Maisonneuve) Montreal, QC H3G 1Z7 Canada +1 514 288 8898 |
This reasonably priced pan-Asiatic restaurant offers cuisine from Thailand, Japan, India, Malaysia and China (Szechuan, Cantonese and Hunan). Specialties include Thai Satay, Japanese Tempura Shrimp, Singapour Caris and General Tao Chicken. The simple setting is hardly noticeable and is best described as ordinary: metal chairs and tables, with utilitarian tablecloths, but it is in keeping with the uncluttered look of this small restaurant. A small terrace complements the modest decor. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Simplicity |
1925 Ste-Catherine Street West (Near St-Marc) Montreal, QC H3H 1M3 Canada +1 514 938 2235 |
Although the menu does not have much to offer in the way of variety and the surroundings are not much above someone's living room when it comes to decor, this Ste-Catherine Street restaurant in the Downtown West area has one very large redeeming quality: huge heapings of good Thai food at prices that won't break the bank. It's difficult to say how many "souvenirs" of Bangkok this restaurant will bring to mind, but the dishes seem genuine enough. Review © 2007, Wcities |
