Creole Haitian Caribbean

Review Summary

Overall, reviews for Casserole Kréole praise authentic Haitian Creole flavors with dishes like griot that are crispy and tender, poulet, pikliz with a nice kick, and a range of Caribbean spices and jams sold on the side. The food is described as homemade tasting, flavorful, and generously portioned, often at a reasonable price. Service is consistently friendly and welcoming, with smiles and helpful staff, even when arriving near closing. The atmosphere is pleasant and vibrant, though the space is small with limited seating, so takeout is common. The riz djondjon is noted as very tasty, and the overall experience feels like a warm introduction to Haitian cuisine, with many saying they would return and would recommend it. A few reviews mention inconsistency in meat portions or bones appearing in some orders, and one account of a frustrating phone interaction related to ordering via a delivery app. Despite these, the consensus is strong that Casserole Kréole offers some of the best Haitian food in Montreal and a memorable experience worth revisiting.View restaurant profile

Sushi Asian Bubble Tea Poke Bowl

Review Summary

Reviews for Boîte Geisha Laval paint a picture of consistently fresh, well-made sushi and a varied menu that keeps customers coming back, with many noting the value for money and generous portions, and praising warm, attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere. The sushi quality is repeatedly described as top notch, the rice balances well with the flavours, and ingredients often feel premium. Delivery and pickup experiences are noted as fast, with Uber Eats orders arriving fresh and in good portion sizes, and condiments such as soy sauce, spicy mayo, ginger and wasabi included. Some comments mention that bubble tea is of lower quality and not recommended. A recurring concern centers on tipping: while service is appreciated, the tipping policy complicates fairness, with complaints that tips left on the machine may not reach staff unless cash tips are accepted, prompting calls for clearer, fairer handling of tips. A few diners mention a dish with overly acidic rice, but the overall tone remains positive and a second visit is anticipated. Overall, Boîte Geisha Laval comes across as a strong choice for sushi lovers in Laval, offering freshness, quantity, and friendly service, with room for beverage quality and tipping transparency improvements.View restaurant profile
