Hiii, I'm Laotion and I just moved to Montreal recently and was one day craving Lao food. I decided to look up Laotion resto's in Montreal..I wasn't expecting anything buuut BAM! I found one :) It's not close to where I live but I decided to metro up to Cote Vertu and to my surprise the food is really authentic :)
I've had the papaya salad, chicken wings, tom yum soup, pho, lab and Laos Sausages. I love it all. I'm ecstatic there's a place that has some of my favourite dishes that no other restaurant in the city has. I go at least once every couple weeks when I get cravings for a home cooked meal.
Beware, if you asked for the papaya salad spicy..you'll get it spicy! I like the way they use crab paste in there too to give it that extra fishy taste the way I like it. (Most Lao people eat it like this)
The atmosphere is pretty simple and easy, prices are decent. I like hearing the women cooking and and talking in the kitchen, makes me miss talking Lao to my family. Things are fresh and made to order so if you're in a rush it's not the place to go to.
