The food is praised for depth of flavor, tender meat, and balanced seasoning, with the jerk pork singled out as particularly tender and the chicken plate a staple favorite; patties and ginger beer are also frequent favorites. Some reviewers point to small spaces with affordable prices, while others mention a second location affecting consistency, and a rare critique about a less fresh item or a cashier who was not as courteous. Vegan options are noted as a plus by some, and a few find the macaroni pie or certain sides less impressive, but overall the consensus is that Lloydie's offers tasty, comforting Caribbean fare worth returning for, making it a go to for Caribbean comfort food.View restaurant profile

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
