About

Bistro Jaybi specializes in authentic Haitian and Caribbean culinary traditions anchored by signature crispy fried chicken. The kitchen emphasizes bold seasoning profiles using traditional island spices that transform poultry into a succulent centerpiece. Patrons encounter a menu driven by deep-rooted regional techniques including plantain preparations and savory legume dishes crafted for maximum flavor intensity. The preparation methods prioritize crunch and texture, ensuring each piece of poultry maintains a balance between a seasoned exterior and tender meat. This establishment functions as a dedicated outpost for those seeking traditional Caribbean soul food prepared with strict attention to historical recipe integrity. The resulting plates offer a direct look into the heart of Haitian comfort food without unnecessary embellishments or modern fusion distractions.

Plantains, oxtail, Mac n cheese, & griot were outstanding. Rice was a little dry; I wish they gave more sauce for it. Cute place. 😊

Giving 1 star because, I can't put none.
Order 300$ for 15 person is wild. The economy isn't a reason. The oxtail tacos seem like humid chips. They only gave us too sauce. & the plantain seem to have frozen doesn't seem fresh at all.

The bday girl is so disappointed, this is robbing people morning + the service was not good.

I recently tried this restaurant for the first time, & overall, it was a great experience. The oxtail plate was absolutely delicious-the meat was tender, falling right off the bone, & packed with rich, savory flavor. The jerk chicken was just as impressive, fresh & full of that perfect balance of spice & taste. The plantains were also a highlight, well-seasoned & cooked just right.

I also tried the jerk burrito. While it was definitely tasty, I did find that it could have used more meat, as there was a bit too much rice in comparison. That said, it didn't take away from the overall experience or my rating.

This was my first time trying this spot, & it definitely won't be my last. Looking forward to ordering more & exploring more of the menu!

J'ai commandé un plat de poulet jerk avec riz & haricots, plantain, & un à-côté d'oxtail - c'était EXCELLENT 🤩.
Tout était très bien assaisonné & les portions sont généreuses. Depuis que j'en ai mangé la semaine dernière, j'y pense presque tous les jours… j'ai juste envie d'y retourner.
Je suis vraiment content qu'il y ait enfin un restaurant jamaïcain à Laval. Les autres sont tous dans le sud-ouest de Montréal ou sur la Rive-Sud.
Ce restaurant est absolument recommandé ! La prochaine fois, je vais essayer la poutine au poulet jerk.
Ps: je n'ai pas de photos j'ai mangé trop vite.

We ate here yesterday. The food was cooked from scratch, was delicious, & not heavy. We had the oxtail plate, the griot burrito, & mac & cheese (the best ever!). Highly recommend. Widby, the owner, also catered my late husband's Celebration of Life party at home. Everyone commented on how good the food was (cold hors d'oeuvres & a sumptuous hot meal, with assorted desserts). Everything was beyond delicious!
