Best thai food restaurant on the island of Montreal. One thing I miss since moving to Montreal from the west island are my regular visits to Chalet Thai. Their signature peanut sauce is to die for!
Best things on the menu: shrimp in peanut sauce, cold spring rolls, papaya salad, tofu vegetables (in either garlic sauce or red curry) and of course the sticky rice! The ingredients are always fresh and the sauces are incredibly flavourful. I've tried just about everything on the menu so I can say with certainty that no matter what you decide to order, you'll be happy. All the dishes can be best described as both playfully delicate and satisfying. However, you might be disappointed by the pad thai if you're hoping for something traditional. The pad thai at Chalet Thai deviates from the norm.
The atmosphere is also wonderful. They play beautiful thai music on their speaker system and the decor is tasteful. If it's warm enough, I suggest sitting outside. Their terasse is right on the boardwalk giving you a clear view of the boats cruising on the St. Lawrence.
