The menu covers Haitian favorites like griot with rice, macaroni salad, Haitian spaghetti and fried fish, and the flavors are described as fresh and satisfying. The spot is conveniently located near the Langelier metro and is popular for delivery through Uber Eats, with portions that seem to offer good value for many diners. Overall, customers view it as a dependable source of hearty Haitian dishes and a standout option for comforting home style cooking.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviews of Seasoned Dreams show mixed impressions: some diners praise a clean, inviting ambiance, friendly service, and a well received half chicken with half fries and half rice when the kitchen is on its game, while others describe a decline in quality and less thoughtful packaging, noting salads with goat cheese and mixed greens have become watery iceberg lettuce with bland toppings, and a dish that used to be flavorful now feels lacking; overall consistency across visits is a recurring concern.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Allopâté receives praise for pâtés described as flaky and buttery, melting in the mouth, with beef, cod, and herring options that shoppers have bought and enjoyed, with some calling them the best pâtés in Montreal. The filling, while tasty, is a bit stingy and keeps the score from being perfect. Requests for extra spicy heat were confirmed but not delivered, leaving some disappointment. Service is appreciated and many customers say they will return soon.View restaurant profile
