Another beautiful cuisine found in the cultural diversity of Montreal is that of the Caribbean islands. Haitian dishes are the most famous, such as griot, tassot, jerk chicken, fritays, plantains, or pikliz.
Like on the islands, the atmosphere in each restaurant is friendly and festive, while the dishes are colorful, tasty, and generous.
The recipe for a successful evening: wear comfortable clothes to dance to the music, leave with a stomach ready for a feast, and have a thirst to sip festive cocktails.
