Review Summary

Kalysta is widely celebrated for its exceptional Creole and Caribbean fusion cuisine, with many diners praising the high quality of dishes like bokits, plantains, and unique poutine variations. The atmosphere is frequently described as cozy, relaxed, and authentic, making it a perfect spot for sharing tapas and enjoying creative cocktails.

Overall, the restaurant remains a favorite for its flavorful, high-quality food and distinct charm, though those sensitive to music volume may want to consider their seating preference.

Went as a group as we ordered some cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks, the tasting platters & some extra appetizers. Service & food were excellent. Depending on seating location, music can be a bit too loud (we were closer to the speakers) otherwise fantastic little spot!
Menu highlights for us included: cod croquettes, smoked meat gnocchi, griot poutine & jerk chicken.

Simon Olivier & son partner nous ont vraiment bien accueilli. Le choix de menu est vraiment attirant. J'ai choisi le menu dégustation deluxe.. THE BEST !!!!!!! Préparé avec soin & succulent! Abordable pour cette qualité culinaire. Les cocktails : WOW !!!! On a eu la chance d'être là durant la transition entre ancien & nouveau menu . On a eu le meilleur des 2. Vraiment heureux d'avoir découvert Kalista. On reviendra en plus grand nombre . One grate gem in petite patrie . Oh I forgot! The griot is out of this world yummy! Compliment guys. A refaire très bientôt. 👍👍👍👍

The food is AMAZING. I highly recommend to go at Kalysta. We ordered 6-7 tapas, including Jerk chicken, griot, salad, etc. Everything was delicious. Cocktails are really good too. Please go visit that restaurant ASAP, it's worth it !

Les proprios Éloy & Styvie sont 2 vrais hôtes passionnés qui savent recevoir les convives. Pris en charge dès mon arrivée, ils ont su me guider dans leur monde qui, je dois l'avouer m'était inconnu jusqu'à cette merveilleuse découverte. La culture antillaise est une superbe cure de l'hiver montréalais qui nous presse le besoin de dépaysement pour se rappeler les soleil des îles ☀️ J'ai eu l'occasion d'expérimenter le menu dégustation, qui m'a permis de découvrir l'étendu de l'offre variée & savamment exécutée d'une cuisine à découvrir pour tous les palais, du néophyte curieux & ouvert(tel que je l'ai été pour cette première) à l'amateur aguerri qui saura se délecter du meilleur griot sur Montréal. Les Accras sont un pur délice, & je recommande fortement jerky de poulet. Encore une fois, merci à vous & votre passion flagrante ❤️
