La Colonie Thai - Ville Lambert

A surprising find, only minutes from Montreal. Beautiful decor, very pleasant service. A family owned restaurant. The food was top for Thai in the Montreal area. A fine dining experience at reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

This is a real gem. Even on a Tuesday night, the place was almost full, for good reason. The dishes were so good, the flavors blending beautifully. The presentation was very appealing. The service was warm and friendly. I had the Tom Yum soup (among the best I ever had, and that is saying something), and the Neua Phad Phet (a beef stir fry plate), with rice. All of it was perfect. I can't wait to go back to have more, more, MORE!

On the positive side, side the decor is beautiful, that waitstaff very friendly and the food tastes good. But If you pick a vegetarian dish, you end up with a meal lacking in protein. If they have tofu in the Pad Thai, why can't they have a vegetarian dish that has tofu, or for that matter tempeh or other legumes?

Pour mon anniversaire de naissance, j'ai choisi de revisiter ce restaurant, samedi le 1er juillet dernier. Heureusement que nous avions fait une réservation car celui-ci s'est rapidement rempli et des clients potentiels, qui n'avaient pas réservé, n'ont pu être admis. C'est vous dire la popularité de l'endroit. Il s'agit d'un restaurant "apportez votre vin" et il s'ensuit que le rapport qualité prix est des plus avantageux. En effet, les prix sont très raisonnables et les portions fort généreuses. Et que dire des saveurs de cette délicieuse cuisine thaïlandaise. Le service était attentionné, courtois et souriant. J'ai définitivement l'intention d'y retourner pour y savourer d'autres mets. Enfin, il y a même une terrace qui était malheureusement inoccupée en raison de la pluie. Je recommande l'endroit à tous ceux en quête d'exotisme.

All the dishes from appetizers to mains were well spiced and presented. I found the portions just right for sharing. The service was attentive. The only issue I had with the restaurant is that the tables are too close together. This is not the place for an intimate meal or a business supper.
