Review Summary

Chef Mak is widely recognized for serving high quality, generous portions of authentic Haitian cuisine that leave many diners impressed with the flavor and freshness of dishes like griot, macaroni salad, and various rice options. Visitors frequently praise the friendly, welcoming service and the fast turnaround times, often describing the atmosphere as family-oriented and inviting. While the food consistently earns high marks for taste and variety, some patrons find the pricing to be on the higher side and note occasional inconsistencies in food texture or limited sauce portions. Concerns have also been raised regarding unreliable operating hours, with some guests experiencing disappointment upon arriving to find the restaurant closed despite online indications to the contrary.

I try to visit a new Haitian restaurant every time I pass by Montreal Nord, which isn't too often for me. The pricing here was bit higher than expected, but when I saw the big portion I was served it seemed more reasonable. I had my meal there & it was served in takeout containers instead of the available plates. But other than that detail the service was friendly, owners ensured that I was enjoying the meal. I went for their Chef Mak special chicken, a creation of their own which features a thicc, interesting thousand-island inspired sauce. Dish came with 3 pieces of chicken, a fat portion of creamy macaroni salad, a big pile of rice, pikliz, gravy & some plantain. The plantain was a bit dry for me but the rest of the items were awesome, particularly the macaroni salad.

Drove one hour to visit this place that my friend recommended me. I had no expectations & the food blew my mind. The sauce on the chicken plate is creamy & full of flavors, the rice & all the sides are on point. Will come back for sure. I heard in summer 2025 they will have a terrace also, can't wait to come back!
