The verdict

This is the easy, affordable fallback: laksa, rendang, satay and pork belly buns for roughly $30-45 each. Go early since parties under 6 cannot book. The catch is Thanksgiving Monday: standing hours say open, but there is no holiday confirmation, so phone before committing.

Tastet names the laksa as the standout
Open 7 nights, 5-11pm
Most mains under $25

Why maybeStrong, cheap, well-covered dinner, but Oct 12 holiday opening is unconfirmed; becomes a go on Tue-Thu or if a call confirms Monday.

Our estimate from posted prices, CAD, before tax and tip. Québec purchases carry the 5% federal GST plus the 9.975% Québec Sales Tax (QST, TVQ in French): 14.975% combined on taxable items. Tourisme Montréal: it is customary to tip restaurant servers, taxi drivers and hairdressers 15% of the bill, before taxes. Bellhops, porters and doormen generally get at least $2 per bag or service; coffee and food counters often have a tip cup by the register.
