This is my go-to Thai place. Make sure you secure a reservation as soon as you get into Montreal. This cozy restaurant is straight down the street from me, just take the 24 down Sherbrooke. It is a husband- wife duo, the husband runs the front while the wife is the chef. They have SUPER spicy Thai food that is absolutely delicious. If they have the fish on their specials, you must get it.
