Oh man, what a pleasant discovery! From the sweet, smiling and helpful waitresses at the entrance, all the way to the clean bathrooms and then back in between with the unique Filipino food, this place defines the term "hidden gem"! After bookmarking it months ago, I finally dropped by to verify the hype and also because every once a while your body tells you to have something different from the 5000 regular choices out there. Filipino food happens to be on my rare list because we do not have many choices in the city and the ones I've been to, weren't anything much to rave about. This place changed the game for me for that cuisine. Surely it doesn't look much from the outside. Located in a shopping outdoor plaza and easily missed while driving by. Once inside, it's a different welcoming world. Contemporary, elegant yet casual decor with a hint of "hey come on in, this is our home, not just another restaurant" versus the usual "Just eat, gimme your money and lemme see your backside soon please" kinda attitude. Well hell, Bingo! That's what I mean. Give that waitress a cookie and an extra star just for that! The name is Angela btw. My first dish here was the Pansit Bihon. It was a day where I wasn't craving red meat so had this on a Saturday for lunch. It hit the spot and more with the added fish sauce and a few squeezes of lemon recommended by sweet Angela, who's the daughter of the owner by the way. Also worth noting at this visit that I asked for a sample of Sisig just to test the waters and make a comparison with another place I'd had that with a major disappointment in the past. After finishing my sample, I was surprised with the super tasty, tangy delightful taste. Couldn't contain myself so told Angela how much I liked it. At this point she said this dish is their specialty and also her mom comes from the Pampanga region where Sisig is originated. Cool! Guess what's my next main dish will be on my next visit. I returned the next day Sunday to give their buffet a try and get well acquainted with Filipino food. This is held from 10-2:30 on Sundays only and the menu rotates every week. If you're fussy about your food, better call ahead and find out what's on the menu. You can do so on Saturdays also if planning to go there for next day buffet. Again, everting from A-Z was super good. 7-8 dishes every time to savour. Really delish, fresh and very light on the stomach. My personal favs were the Misua soup, fried Tulingan (fish), Pork Adobo, chicken Caldereta, and of course a new discovery called Pork Dinuguan. Mouth is watering as I'm writing these. Thumbs up... all the way up up! Excellent job guy! Oh, and try their Ginataang Munggo, a red bean pudding dessert. Mmmm!! Some side notes, they don't have license for alcohol yet but they accepted my suggestion to have a BYOW at least with a smile and said they'd look into it. Other than that, nothing negative to report and I'm very happy to add this place to my "Top Picks" bookmark. Check it out. Cheers and bon appétit :) read more

Spent 120$ (delivery) to feed 4 people and nobody enjoyed their meal. Tasted like regular white people fast food or shopping mall cafeteria quality. It's like they're trying to compete with the "Chinese" restaurants here, which if that's what I wanted then I could have spent 50$ instead to feed everyone from one of those places. This food was not Pilipino and very expensive. Sad that some of my family members had eaten at this restaurant in the past and really liked it, but they really didn't like it this time, the quality went down and it became less exotic and more quebecois style of fast food. 6pc Fried Chicken: Only 5 pieces. Tender inside, everyone favorited them, but all agreed that this was not a foreign recipe, tasted like local white-people fried chicken. Even the gravy reminded me of KFC lol. Surprised it came with fries, felt like I got a delivery from a fast food place, even smelled like it. Pork Bar-Beck-Que (3 skewers): Moist, tender, and many pieces, but the meat was too thin and the sauce was overpowered by sugar, no other flavors noted. Siopao Asado (steamed pork buns): Very plain and cannot taste what's inside. Was favorited by one person and he wants to order only that again. Palabok (sauteed noodles w/shrimp sauce & minced porc): Very bland and greasy. Minced pork was not noticeable, pieces of shrimp was raw and translucent. Pansit Canton (Fried noodles topped with mixed vegetables + pork belly slices): Bland, greasy, but vegetables were nice, big and crispy. Crispy noodles that softened with the sauce on top was a nice texture. Pork belly was just thick pieces of fat and skin, which is alarming because usually the fat is melted off and actually has meat. I've literally had this exact same recipe at a Chinese buffet when I was young, but without the pieces of fat and skin. Sizzling Beef (Marinated beef with onions): Disgustingly strange texture, like it's been beaten to death or marinated too long with an enzyme acid, exterior of each piece was shredded. Flavor was unpleasant and hard to describe, but I think I ruined the "flavor" when I added their vinegar sauce ontop. When a foreign restaurant throws in parquets of taco chili sauce when you ask for hot sauce... I know I'm in trouble lol One of our group bit into a hot pepper and burned her tongue badly, which really surprised me because I didn't notice any spiciness at all from anything I ate. It looks like they don't know how to cook since the spiciness from the hot pepper did not disperse into any of their dishes and just stayed inside of itself. When placing my order, the system automatically locked the delivery to an extra 15$ fee and set the tip to 5%. I didn't change the tip, since 20$ is already enough to pay extra on food that's around 90$. It wouldn't surprise me that I was wrong and that's why they took away one of the pieces of chicken. I thought about calling to verify, but no point since I don't plan on buying from them again since I didn't find their food worth it. I should have known better though. I was taken away by all the good reviews online, but am only noticing now that they're all mostly white people, despite the fact that there are many non-whites in this city. This is clearly a place where most foreigners avoid because it's just another fast food place for quebecers who are known to not like exotic flavors. I think the only thing that was Pilipino here are the employees. The delivery guy was very nice though. read more

By far the best Filipino cuisine in Montreal. This is definitely my go to place! Love every dish made. All made fresh and the plating is just great! The service is amazing! Always greeting each customer, always with a smile on their face and in their voice. I definitely recommend this place especially to my non Filipino friends so they can see how great our food is. Not only is the food and service great, but this place is beautifully decorated, they have an open kitchen and it's super clean. If you haven't been, or have been disappointed by other Filipino restaurants, this place will give you a change of heart. In one word: amazing ! read more

Always a great stopover after a long day's work! We go there every week and very affordable for the food amount and taste they offer!

The last time we ordered food from Beck's was a while back when they had first opened their doors in DDO. I must admit, the food we had at the time was disappointing especially the crispy pata - it was tough and chewy. We haven't gone back since but we were craving for Filipino food, so we decided to give Beck's another try - we glad we did! We ordered the crispy pata again (deep fried pork shank/trotter), and added daing na bangus (fried milkfish marinated in vinegar), sisig (chopped grilled pork mixed with spices and liver) and lumpiang sariwa (fresh vegetable spring roll). Everything was delicious! The crispy pata was WAY better this time - it had really crunchy crackling and was suprisingly not greasy. The meat was tender and moist. I didn't eat the sisig since I don't like liver but my husband enjoyed it (I will take his word for it). The milkfish was tasty and had the right amount of tanginess from the marinade. I personally didn't care for the eggplant as it was quite oily (it was deep fried). The dipping sauce that came with these three dishes had more of a fish sauce flavour than vinegar and was a bit too sweet for us; they also came with steamed rice by the way. The vegetables inside the fresh lumpia was perfectly done; the lumpia wrapper was soft and delicate. The sauce that came with it didn't have much peanut taste but the sweetness of it went well with the dish. I think it would have been nice to have some toasted peanuts on top to add some crunchy texture. We were able to have two meals out of the food we ordered (and have a healthy appetite)! For the price and quality of food - definitely worth going to Beck's! We look forward to trying the other items in their menu next time. read more

You're sitting at home, and like many days you're thinking "man I could go for some fried chicken". Your mind may wander to the first place that comes to mind, a place whose sign is pasted with a mustachioed man in white. But why settle? Especially when right down the road there is Beck's Filipino Cuisine. The fried chicken at this place is so good that upon biting in I audibly said "oh my god". However, this is a Filipino restaurant and not just a chicken joint. This means that not only can you get perfect fried chicken, but also delicious Filipino treats! Go out and get some now! What are you waiting for!? read more

We had heard nothing but praise for Beck's from our family friend so many times and decided to finally try it out for ourselves. We were not disappointed. It is located in the strip mall on Des Sources boulevard, between Marche Sheng Tai and Jean Coutu (Closer to the Jean Coutu side). There is plenty of free on-site parking available. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 5pm. We were greeted by friendly and helpful waitstaff and were seated immediately. After being given a few minutes to browse through the menu, our order was taken. The menu has a good selection of Filipino dishes. We ordered the Bulalo, Palabok, Longsilog and Beck Silog as well as an appetizer of shanghai egg rolls. Diners are all given a complimentary bowl of soup (Bulalo broth) which was excellent to start off with considering the cold weather lately. Portions are excellent for the price. And the food was so good. Service was quick and attentive. We even had Beck herself come by our table to ask how everything was. The West Island has been waiting for it's own "good" Filipino" restaurant. Finally, we have one. We will definitely be coming back again and again. You owe it to yourself to try this place out. read more

This was the first time I have ever had Filipino cuisine. I went with two other people, neither of whom eat pork. This was a definite limiting factor because most of the menu items feature pork. They each chose something from the remaining items, but there was very little to choose from: one had a soup featuring beef shank and the other had a traditional noodle stir fry dish with fish balls and chicken. Both were very generous portions and quite tasty, but not enough reason for a return visit. I, on the other hand, had the signature dish whose name I think was something like Sislig. It came on a hot iron plate with a raw egg on top. I was instructed to break the egg quickly and mix it into the diced pork and pig ear dish. I did so and it was absolutely delicious! This menu item has a one hot pepper rating and it was really tasty. Certainly not too spicy, but just hot enough to add a lot of zing to a dish which was already delicious, being a mixture both tender and crunchy at the same time. Definitely recommended! We were all served a complimentary bowl of deeply flavoured broth to begin with. The two non-pork eaters did not eat the soup; however, I found it very tasty. Service was really friendly and ice water was placed in a carafe at the table and replaced as needed. We were too stuffed to order dessert, but we saw the halo-halo being delivered to the next table and it looked awesome. read more
