Koh Tao Bistro Grill Oriental is a modern Thai full-service restaurant concept featuring its authentic menu, vibrant flavours and a shareable dining experience. Koh Tao positions itself as an approachable yet elevated destination for lunch, dinner, takeout and social occasions, supported by handcrafted cocktails and a contemporary atmosphere. Introduced in Mont St Hilaire in Montreal’s South Shore in 2015 by restauranter Ly Tran, the restaurant draws inspiration from the Cambodian and Thai culinary traditions of its founders’ family, bringing recipes and techniques shaped by generations of cooking. Its menu combines Thai-forward dishes with broader Asian influences, featuring items such as papaya salad, dumplings, Korean chicken wings, Japanese crudo and flavourful curries. In addition to the Saint-Hilaire location, the chain has added restaurants in St Hyacinthe and Boucherville and is currently seeking a location in the Drummondville area. The full-service Koh Tai is seeking highly visible 3000 to 3800 square foot locations with convenience access and ample parking. Dan Knafo at Dan Knafo Real Estate Services has been retained to handle the company’s site selection. Knafo adds that in addition to the full-service format, Groupe Koh Tao is also seeking a quick service concept, Petit Tao, with a similar menu. Petit Tao will operate in high traffic 1200 to 1800 square foot units with strong access, parking complementary co-tenants. The immediate search is for the first Petit Tao in Montreal’s South Shore area with other units across the Greater Montreal area to follow.
