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

I ordered a small griot fritay. It was good. The plantains were flat & crispy just like I like them. The griot was tender & juicy. The marinade was tasty. No complaints!! The only thing that was poorly done was the picklies who literally just tasted like vinegar. The place is a bit small but I guess thats why they call it a bistro... The service was ok, nothing fancy.

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.
