Restaurant Canada Best

Tamil,Indian and Malaysian food, made fresh and delicious. Store has very friendly service that is accommodating and has a very homie vibe.(family run store next door)

Not much of an eat in, more take out but either way, you’ll be taken care of.

(I am trying new Malaysian food and so far their Nasi lemak is my favorite)

Would highly recommend, little place with big flavor!

This is my 2nd time eating this amazing, delicious food. The 1st time was in late July 2023, I had ordered through UberEATS, and I remember, as I was eating all that food by myself, how good it was. Ever since that day, I’ve thought about that experience on numerous occasions. We are now February 17th, 2024. On one of the coldest days of the year, my craving decides to act up to finally go to this place in-person, and sit there and absorb the entire experience. (Also, my GF wanted Malaysian food because her friend has been sending snaps of food they’re eating in Malaysia while on vacation).

At 6:28PM EST, we arrive. We look at the menu and we’d like to have it entirely, however, we are on a diet, so my girl & I only get 4 dishes— 1) Shrimp & Chicken Fried Rice 2) Shrimp & Chicken Malaysian Noodles 3) Chicken Kottu Roti 4) Nasi Lemak.

Within 15-20 minutes, the food arrives to our table, and I immediately just start eating the Kottu Roti. The 5 minutes after that, i have no recollection of. It was like I passed out into a coma and woke up, to find only a quarter of the food left on each plate. Yes ladies & gentlemen— I blacked out and savagely consumed all the food. The Kotto Roti is the best in Montreal— Probably the best I’ve had and best I’ll ever had. If you thought Thanjai was good, this is even better! I can’t believe it. The fried rice and the noodles are just too good. They get everything right, way better than any of the other region cuisines of India. I no longer feel like I have to go to Toronto for Hakka food because this epic fusion of Sri Lankan and Malaysian food takes care of what I would need from Toronto.

Lastly, we had the Nasi Lemak. You have to have the sauce on the coconut rice, the nuts, the cucumber, the fried chicken, the anchovies, all in one spoon and bite it down. The flavor combination is insane. I’m telling you guys, i was just sitting there with my mouth feeling like heaven. I was in a bliss of ecstatic feel in my mouth, and I wondered if this is how paradise felt. I just sat there in a daze.

The owners are a couple— the man is Sri Lankan, the wife is Malaysian. They thought of the concept of doing something different from everyone else, by making a fusion out of both of their cultures. In my opinion, i think they combined the best of both to make a truly unique taste that you cannot get anywhere else. Furthermore, the only workers are the man, the woman, and their two sons. This is literally just a family operation, and the man told me he wouldn’t feel right to hire employees, that he wants it exactly how they make it and won’t let anyone change anything.

This is a HIDDEN GEM in Montreal. When I finally propose to my girlfriend and get married, I will get Marché Canada Best to cater my wedding. I left this place with the thought in my head: “Forget about Michelin Star Restaurants, this is my type of spot.”

I ate so much, so well, huge portions, maximal taste, for $80. This was enough food for like 4-5 people but we just stuffed ourselves like crazy.

To top it all off, I also ended up getting a Mango Lassi. Honestly, the best Mango Lassi I’ve ever had. It was the necessary conclusion to the night. I couldn’t have a had a better night than tonight.

This is my first time trying Malaysian and Sri Lankan food,.it was very DELICIOUS 😋!
I got to try two of their traditional Sri Lankan plates: Chicken Rendang and Nasi Lemak.
As for Malaysian platters: we had the Chicken fried rice (my husband’s favorite) and Shrimp Noodle.
All of those plates were DEVINE!
I highly recommend for you to try Canada Best in heart of Parc Extension!

I’m Singaporean and my gf is Malaysian. We’ve been in Montreal for about 1.5 years at this point so you can imagine by now we’re starting to crave some yummy Southeast Asian food, which is rather hard to come by in Montreal (as compared to say Toronto or New York). By some stroke of luck, my gf saw someone post about Restaurant Canada Best in a Malaysian FB group, so we made plans to try it immediately.

When we got there, both of us ordered Nasi Lemak and my God, the first bite transported us back home in that instant. It was as if we had just gotten it from our neighborhood mamak shop. The coconut rice was fragrant, doused with a generous heap of sweet sambal chilli. The fried chicken was fried just right with spices, and even the ikan bilis (anchovies) and roasted peanut peppered the rice with crunchy texture. After we were done shovelling nasi lemak down our throats, we washed it down with their refreshing mango lassi, to ensure we didn’t choke and die from all that divine food. The other reviewers weren’t kidding about how good it is.

What’s truly unique about this restaurant is that it offers a mix of Sri Lankan, Indian and Malaysian dishes, a combination that is not that common even in Southeast Asia.

We’ll definitely be going back again for our nasi lemak fix, but I’ll be trying their lamb biryani the next time round.

Owner was so kind and patient with us. He figured it was our first time and gave us a few info about the different food they have on the menu and recommended us a few to our likings. We had to try their Nesi Lemak. We also had the chicken noodles + one of each of the cooked food in their counter.

The Nesi Lemak was A M A Z I N G L Y good!
