Stopped by to get their Creole Poulet on my linch break & it was incredible! Great flavours! Great service! & such a nice vibe. The guy that took my order was so kind & chill with my broken french :)
We chose this restaurant because it is near the Botanical Gardens & Biodôme. I'm so glad we did because it was an excellent discovery! The food was delicious. The service was friendly & attentive. I accidentally left my refillable water bottle on the table, & the server ran down the street after us to return it. Thank you!
We went during a slow period & got great service from the owner. She didn't speak English & we didn't speak French & we still managed to communicate & laugh. Partner & I had goat & chicken. Both were very good. I'm not a rice fan but I loved the rice here. Ate it all. The meat portions could be a little bigger but overall I really enjoyed my meal. The decor is a little'different'. There's like nightclub style white couches on one end & a full wall length mirror on the other side but it's a family restaurant. However we were not here for the furniture. We were here for the food & we both enjoyed it greatly. Would recommended. Again would love more meat with the meal but overall 5/5. For parking park on the street
J'ai visité ce restaurant sur la recommandation d'un ami & je n'ai pas été déçu. Le personnel est très accueillant & serviable.
Les plats sont frais & délicieux, & la décoration est vraiment agréable.
Un endroit à ne pas manquer si vous êtes dans le quartier !
You cannot go wrong with Big King Creole. The food was incredible! The meat was crispy & juicy & the fat was tender & melted in the mouth. The plantains were fantastic. Would absolutely make this a regular place if we lived in Montreal
Bon, goûteux, mais portion beaucoup trop petite. Pas bcp de riz & 4
Morceaux de griot. Le
Goût était là, la viande était juteuse, tendre & propre, mais c'est la première fois de ma vie que je termine un plat tout en ayant encore faim. Je suggère d'être un peu plus généreux dans vos portions, car ce commentaire revient trop souvent & tout sera PARFAIT 👌
Je vais retourner avec plaisi
The pork & rice was gas. Pouring that soup into the rice sent me into a state of euphoric bliss. Clean plate by the end. Truly a bistro for kings. Gonna have to come back.

Very pleasant surprise, it was my first there & the food was amazing. The meat was delicious 😋 , the rice was incredible & the plantains were just perfect 👌. I will definitely be back. Highly recommended. A must if you are in montreal.
Best créole in Montreal. Seriously I've tried a ton of spots, & this is the best jerked chicken & griot. The rice, the sauce, the plantain. These guys work their craft. Only thing is that I wish they gave more macaroni salad per portion (or even with the extra), because it's so good, but best place nonetheless.
We had an amazing dinner here with our multi-generation family. We had the goat, beef, chicken, & spicy chicken with plantains, rice, jus, & macaroni salad. We also drank Kola Champagne & Malta Cola. The service was very friendly & informative, as we had never tried Haitian food before. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody!
