| - Yes, the food is pricey!
Yes the drinks are pricey!
Yes this place may not be Authentic Thai!
But this place is hands down the best Thai restaurant I've ever been to. Siam has a cool, modern and contemporary ambiance that adds a really nice vibe to your dining experience.
The service was great. A lot of the restaurants we went to in Montreal didn't have good service, but this restaurant's service was probably the best service we had in Montreal. We didn't have to flag down anyone for water. The waiter was very helpful and answered all our questions.
We went here with four friends and we all decided to start off by sharing appetizers. So we started off with the Degustation platter, which includes Spring Rolls, Chicken Satay, Duck Wontons, Imperial Rolls, and Wrapped Shrimps ($35). All of the food in the degustation platter were good, but the Duck Wontons were my favorite. I just wished I would've had more, but then again its great I didn't because I wouldn't have room for our entrees.
For our entree we ordered 1 order of Chef Panithit's Crispy Chicken ($24) (Battered, fried chicken, chili paste and garlic) and 2 orders of Roasted Duck in Red Curry ($25 each) ( Roasted duck, cherry tomatoes, Thai eggplants, lychees, pineapples, red curry, kaffir lime leaves and basil.) The Crispy chicken was amazing. I will never go to KFC again! It was perfectly crispy and extremely flavorful. The red curry roasted duck was perfect. It was extremely flavorful and had a nice kick to it. The portions size were reasonable and we all left full and happy. We couldn't even finish all our food. We had to take some food to go.
The next time i'm in Montreal, I will definitely go back to this place. I'm so glad that my friends took us here, otherwise we wouldn't have ever known to go based on the yelp reviews. I'm shocked that i'm the only one on yelp who gave this place a 5 star review. Please listen to me and check this place out. You will not be disappointed!
