Review Summary

Marché le Bled reviews highlight excellent service and appetizing dibi with attieke, with the meat well grilled. A comment praises a staff member as the best, though no names are given. Hygiene concerns are raised for the premises. The ginger juice is good, but there is a lot of grease on the bottles and they are filled only halfway, which is disappointing for the price. Overall, reviewers praise flavor and service while calling for better hygiene and more consistent portions, with customers signaling willingness to pay the asking prices but expecting a minimum standard.View restaurant profile

MAM GRILLADES

Open until Midnight

(122)

Villeray-Saint-Michel, Mile-Ex

BBQ Grill African Seafood/Fish

Review Summary

At MAM GRILLADES, reviews highlight flavorful, juicy chicken with a true BBQ finish from charcoal, authentic African grillades, and generous portions at a good price. The chicken is often described as worth the wait, with some experiences noting a roughly one hour wait for it to be well done, and in several cases dine-in service is limited to takeout or delivery only. Service quality varies, with some visitors praising warm, family-like hospitality and superb cooking, while others point to slow on-site service, long waits, and inconsistent delivery timing. Not fast food but soul food, with dishes like attieke with alloco and chicken repeatedly described as delicious. Overall, many reviewers rate the food as excellent and the chicken as amazing, contributing to a sense that MAM GRILLADES is among Montreal's best grillades.View restaurant profile
