Laval-des-Rapides, Pont Viau

Haitian Grill

Review Summary

Overall, reviews for Ô Griot highlight warm, friendly service, a clean, welcoming vibe, and generous portions, with the griot singled out as the star for many diners who describe it as tender and juicy on the inside and crisply fried on the outside, sometimes noting it as the best griot they have had; the menu is varied and sides such as plantains, macaroni salad, pikliz, and rice coller are praised for balancing the dish. Customers frequently mention quick, attentive service and good value, and many say they would return, often calling it a must try and praising the atmosphere and the staff's hospitality. There are a few caveats: a promotional order mixup left some guests short of food, a club sandwich and its sauce were not to everyone's taste, and a couple of comments mention sides being too spicy or salty or the service being slow in a specific instance. Still, the consensus is that Ô Griot delivers quality Haitian inspired food with consistently favorable reviews and an inviting neighborhood restaurant feel.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Allopâté reviews describe pâtés with flaky, buttery pastry that melts in the mouth and a selection like beef, cod, and herring, with several readers saying the pâtés are among the best in Montréal and noting friendly service that makes them want to return.

Vimont

Haitian Creole

Review Summary

Overall, Tassot Créole receives mixed feedback with strong praise for service, ambiance and several dishes, while rice quality and overall cooking sometimes disappoints. Reviewers praise the friendly service and lively atmosphere, with notes that the griot and the sticky rice are excellent, tassot boeuf and tassot cabrit stand out, and the riz djon djon is described as amazing. Many diners say they regularly order on Uber Eats or dine in, calling the experience excellent on most visits. Yet other guests report problems, including poorly cooked food, bad rice, or even illness after eating, with one reviewer calling it the worst Haitian restaurant in Quebec and advising others to avoid it unless necessary. In short, Tassot Créole shines for certain dishes and service but shows inconsistency that can lead to notably negative experiences.View restaurant profile

Haitian Creole Jamaican Caribbean Fusion Grill

Review Summary

Reviews describe Le Fils à Maman as a comforting Haitian style spot with a homey mom and pop vibe where griot with rice and pikliz hits a perfect salty and tangy balance and the rice earns frequent praise.

Generous portions and affordable prices are repeatedly mentioned, making it easy to justify a repeat visit for griot and other staples. Some diners note small inconsistencies such as too much rice or not enough meat, sometimes a bland sauce, or missing plantain or salad in certain orders, but these are outweighed by the overall impression of a hidden gem offering authentic Caribbean comfort food.
