Review Summary

Overall, Marché le Bled receives praise for excellent service and appetizing dishes such as dibi with atieke and well grilled meat. Ginger juice is described as good, but bottles show grease and hygiene concerns are raised, with requests to improve sanitation. Bottles of ginger juice are filled only to a limited level and this is disappointing given the price. Patrons express that paying fair prices is acceptable but a minimum standard should be met. In summary, the reviews point to strong service and tasty food alongside concerns about hygiene, bottle filling and value that could be improved.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviews of Restaurant Le Goût du Sud show Haitian Creole flavors shining in generous, fresh dishes, with griot, cabrit, and riz collé drawing frequent praise. Haitian rice and lamb are often cited as delicious, with generous portions that travel well for takeout. Yet experiences vary, with reports of burnt rice, missing pikliz, and dishes not always matching orders. The space is described as small and quiet, sometimes featuring a single table, while staff are described as friendly. Suggestions include adding more flavor to sides such as plantains, salad, and macaroni, and a desire for more consistency in quality. Overall the reviews portray a solid creole option where classic dishes can be very tasty, but with fluctuations that keep some customers cautious.View restaurant profile

Tassot Créole

(54)

Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

Caribbean Grill

Review Summary

Overall, Tassot Créole garners a mix of praise and critique, with many diners calling it a worthwhile Haitian option featuring good cooking, substantial portions, quick service, and reasonable prices, and describing dishes like griot with rice and fried plantains as high quality. Some reviewers say the chicken can be bland and not well seasoned or marinated, and that the meats seem prepared to appeal to local tastes rather than staying authentically Haitian. Others point to the takeout style in the dining room and a lunch special that feels misleading. On the positive side, the food is often described as flavorful with straightforward preparation, portions that satisfy, and service that is fast, friendly, and attentive, contributing to a memorable Creole experience. Price increases are noted by some as making the experience feel a bit ridiculous or not as good value as before.View restaurant profile

Caribbean Fusion Creative Seafood/Fish

Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Sevenz Inclusive Lounge as a stylish, cozy spot with great food, friendly service, and a vibrant atmosphere supported by tasty drinks. The cuisine leans Caribbean and Creole with favorites like griot, accras, pieuvre, and bananes plantain, praised for bold flavors and attractive presentation, though some portions are considered small for the price. Many note that the ambiance and decor, plus music and a welcoming staff, make it a versatile choice for date nights, outings with friends, or small private gatherings. Occasional criticisms mention slower service at times, occasional overcooking or underseasoning, and value concerns when portions do not seem to match the price. Brunch on Sundays is highlighted by some as a must try, with a simple, balanced menu and strong drinks to start the day. The venue is described as clean, bright, and well designed, with references to a private room and options for events that run smoothly when well staffed. Overall sentiment is that Sevenz delivers strong flavors, solid cocktails, and a memorable Creole dining experience, making it a place to return to for dinner, drinks, or celebrations, even if a few visits reveal some inconsistencies.View restaurant profile

St-Viateur Bagel

Mile-End Le Plateau-Mont-Royal

Bagels Breakfast

Review Summary

St-Viateur Bagel is widely celebrated as an iconic Montreal institution, renowned for hand rolled, wood-fired bagels that come hot from the oven with a crisp exterior and chewy interior, and many reviews note the distinctive aroma and the experience of watching the bakers at work. The bagels are praised for freshness and a classic sesame variety, with a range of flavors and a self-serve setup at some locations that lets customers pick toppings from a fridge, though that approach isn't ideal for all. Practical details pop up frequently: the shops are cash only (ATM often on site), seating is minimal or nonexistent, and lines can be long but move quickly. The tone is typically enthusiastic, with many calling it a must-do Montreal experience and one of the best bagel spots, though a few reviews report occasional inconsistency in freshness, pricey sandwiches, or concerns about hygiene. Overall the consensus is that the place delivers a quintessential Montreal bagel experience, prized for texture, flavor and tradition, even as it remains a bustling, no-frills take-out venue.View restaurant profile
