Pichai
Thai
The specials list is where Pichai really moves, rotating through local ingredients that shift with the season and Quebec's own producers. This boisterous Thai restaurant on St-Hubert leans hard into Isaan cooking, the spicy, funky, herb-driven food of northern Thailand, alongside a wine list of low-intervention whites and skin-contact pours. Thai families and well-travelled regulars fill the room together, both with strong opinions about what to order. Ranked 36th on Canada's 100 Best.

Fish balls on a stick
“But kick things off with a makrut lime cocktail, and follow it with fish balls on a stick or tapioca dumplings with candied pork and peanuts.”

Laab ped
“The fried fish balls in a sweet chilli sauce are incredible, as is the Laab Ped, a spicy salad of duck and duck hearts, but it’s the specials that keep the crowds coming back.”
