SKYBIRD Asian Grill — Restaurant in Montreal

Whether you’re looking for a quick, wholesome bite on the go or a leisurely meal with friends, Skybird delivers on both fronts.

The layout is refreshingly simple and highly efficient—a dream for both customers and staff. The smooth, intuitive service flow makes assembling bowls and Banh Mi sandwiches a breeze. It’s a franchise-friendly model with the efficiency of a well-oiled machine, but with the personal touch and freshness of a local café. Think of it as a healthier, more vibrant take on Subway, where you’re in complete control of every ingredient that goes into your meal. As someone who values clean eating, I appreciated the abundance of heart-healthy, wholesome options—choices my cardiologist would surely applaud.

Eager to dive in, I set out to create my custom beef bowl. I started with a hearty brown rice base and loaded it up with a colorful medley of fresh ingredients with cucumber – cool, crisp, and refreshing, tomatoes – plump, juicy, and sweet, fresh corn – adding a subtle, summery sweetness, jalapeños – bringing a gentle, lingering heat, Red onion – providing a sharp, tangy bite, black beans and white beans – packing a powerful protein punch.

For the final flourish, I topped it all off with crispy fried onions and selected the tender, savory beef with a rich sauce as my protein. My wife, meanwhile, crafted her bowl with the same base but opted for a chicken fillet, skipping the corn for a lighter, zestier combination.

The portions were not merely generous—it was magnificently abundant. Each mouthful delivered a deeply satisfying burst of flavors and textures, blending the freshness of the vegetables with the warmth of the rice and the richness of the beef. This wasn’t just a meal—it was a nourishing experience. The kind that doesn’t just fill you up but fortifies you, keeping you energized and content for hours.

I had to try their signature Vietnamese-style baguette sandwich. From the first bite, I was enchanted. The baguette was perfectly crisp on the outside, offering a delightful crunch, while remaining light and airy inside. The tender, succulent pork melted in my mouth, beautifully complemented by the tangy, zesty vegetables. The interplay of flavors—savory, sweet, and slightly spicy—created a harmonious and utterly addictive bite.

My wife and I shared the sandwich, and by the second bite, we were both hooked. It was a flavor revelation that instantly left us craving more.

What truly stood out, beyond the incredible flavors, was the speed and efficiency of the service. With my busy schedule, it’s reassuring to know I can stop by and enjoy a healthy, satisfying meal prepared quickly and expertly. The fresh ingredients, combined with the build-your-own customization, make it an easy and smart choice for anyone seeking a healthier alternative to conventional fast food.

After this experience, I can confidently say that I am now officially a bowl convert. It’s no surprise that traditional restaurants are increasingly adding bowls to their menus. The concept is genius—fresh, customizable, and packed with nutrition. It’s a meal trend that perfectly balances flavor, convenience, and health.

I’ll undoubtedly be returning for more of Skybird's signature bowls and Banh Mi sandwiches. My body feels healthier for it, and my taste buds are already craving round two. Bravo for bringing this fresh and flavorful concept to Pierrefonds—you’ve earned a...

SkyBird recently opened a sleek new location in Pierrefonds, and trust me—if you’re looking for a fresh, feel-good lunch, this place needs to be on your radar.

The space is bright, airy, and spotless, with warm light wood accents and a mirrored wall that makes everything feel even more open and modern.

Now, let’s talk food. I built a custom Sky Bowl with half white, half brown rice and loaded it up with pineapple, peppers, tomatoes, onions, corn, bean sprouts, and their new vegan Thai chicken. I topped it all off with Japanese barbecue sauce and a sprinkle of Asian crispy crackers. The vegan chicken had an impressively meaty texture and soaked up every drop of that smoky-sweet sauce. Flavorful, satisfying, and light—just how I like my midday meals.

But I couldn’t stop there. I also ordered the chicken bánh mì, leveled up with spicy gochujang sauce—and wow. The bread was warm and perfectly crisp, the chicken juicy, and that sauce? Bold, tangy, and fiery in the best way. It brought the whole sandwich together and made each bite seriously crave-worthy. A little messy, but worth it.

And of course, no visit is complete without a treat. I grabbed my favorite matcha oatmeal cookie—soft, chewy, and perfectly balanced with that subtle, earthy matcha flavor. Always a good call.

To wash it all down, I tried their canned Thai tea over ice—super refreshing and a great way to round out the meal.

SkyBird is nailing the fresh, fast, and flavorful formula. Whether you’re vegan or just craving a healthy and vibrant lunch, this spot delivers.

Foxy Tip: Don’t skip the gochujang on your bánh mì (thank me later), and whatever you do—grab that matcha oatmeal cookie for dessert. It’s the little things.

Skybird Pierrefonds – Fresh Flavours in a Beautiful New Space

Skybird has landed in Pierrefonds, and their newest location is a feast for the eyes before the food even arrives. The space is airy and inviting, with wide windows flooding the room with natural light. Wooden structures frame the interior beautifully, while a striking logo mural and plenty of greenery bring a modern, warm, and lively atmosphere.

We sampled a variety of their signature bánh mì sandwiches and the popular nutritional bowls that have helped build their loyal following. Skybird takes pride in its flavour-building techniques — like charring onions for a deep caramelized sweetness — and their array of sauces, which truly elevate each bite.

The bánh mì were solid, with fresh bread and vibrant toppings. The vegan version, however, featured chewy mushrooms that didn’t quite hit the mark for our taste. As for the bowls, while they’re typically a crowd-pleaser, the chicken in ours was on the dry side, which took away from the overall experience.

That said, Skybird Pierrefonds still delivers on freshness, flavour variety, and an atmosphere worth visiting. With a bit of fine-tuning on certain ingredients, this location could easily match — or even surpass — the reputation of its sister spots.
