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.

Le grillot est bon, mais deux fois, jai pris des bols de salade de macaroni à cote & les deux fois ils sentait surît & était deja expiré. La dernière chance que je leurs ai donné, le poulet bbq goutait louche aussi. Dommage, je me souviens la premiere fois que j'avais essayé, jai été bien satisfait.

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.

A friend recommend this place. The griot plate was delicious fresh with big portion, the macaroni taste so good. The staff was friendly & welcome you with big a smile. I'm glad to find a good restaurant to get a good griot.

It's an incredible place for Haitian cuisine. I just tasted the best griot (super tender & savory) & riz djon djon ever!
But to be honest, everything was absolutely delicious.
My other top dishes to try : BBQ Chef Mak, Beef Pâté, macaroni (it's the best compared to the other places) & even the Légumes is WOW!
Amazing service, super fast & friendly. You are part of the family :)

Premier griot à Montréal depuis 6 ans à Québec. Il était délicieux, croustillant, tendre, goûteux. Portion très généreuse, pikliz avec un petit kick, salade de macaroni crémeuse. Certainement pas ma dernière fois à aller chez Chef Mak! Personnel souriant, service rapide & musique festive, que demander de mieux à quelques minutes de chez-soi. J'ai même des restes pour l'après-midi!

Un régal absolu ! Nous avons opté pour le griot, & chaque élément de l'assiette était un pur délice. Les plantains fondants, le riz collé savoureux, le griot bien tendre & croustillant, sans oublier la salade de macaroni (la meilleure en ville ), le pikliz relevé & la sauce exquise… Un véritable voyage de saveurs ! Une expérience culinaire à recommander sans hésitation.

J'ai commandé pour emporter pour la première fois, & ça ne sera pas la dernière ! Agréablement surpris par les gros morceaux de griot & le riz collé qui était parfumé & rempli de saveurs. Tout repas inclut des plantains, le macaroni, la sauce & du pikliz. Si vous ne voulez pas cuisiner, cet endroit est une bonne option pour dépanner comme takeout.

J'ai été accueillie de manière très chaleureuse. L'assiette de griot était simplement phénoménale & la salade de macaroni qui est incluse dans l'assiette ne goûtait pas le "magasin" comme bien d'autres endroit! J'ai déjà hâte de retourner, merci pour ce goût de la culture haïtienne

WOW! Quel resto remarquable. Service de qualité, courtoisie, efficacité. Griot pas sec ni gras, avec jus goûteux & salé à souhait, riz collé délicieux, pas trop sec. La salade de macaroni est exceptionnelle, tellement bonne, & leur PIKLIZ Le meilleur de tout. Goûte exactement comme les piments antillais, piquant & plein de soleil. 1000x recommandé.
