Review Summary

Reviewers describe Kalysta as a standout Caribbean and Creole inspired restaurant with a relaxed, welcoming vibe and a menu that balances refined flavors with casual charm. The kitchen earns praise for superb food from cod croquettes and griot poutine to jerk chicken and plantains, with bokits and sauces that add extra kick. Cocktails are consistently highlighted as excellent, and a changing menu keeps tasting options fresh. Service is described as attentive and friendly, with guests feeling at home, while the atmosphere is convivial and reminiscent of the Caribbean. Some reviews mention good value for portions and reasonable prices, though a few note occasional ordering hurdles by phone or variability in noise depending on seating. Overall Kalysta is regarded as a memorable culinary destination for bold Creole and Caribbean flavors in a warm setting.

Every dish & drink we ordered, we LOVED.
The poutine was sooooo good, the something (I am not sure what) pickled on top adds a good refreshing taste.
The jerk mayo is very good.

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.

It's was good. I was probably expecting a little more... I feel the portions are too small. We had the menu degustation for 2, & we left a little hungry. Service was low, but it's expected with a Caribbean vibe restaurant. I would def go back for drinks, though the cocktails were super good!!! My other friend had the poutine it was good the flavors were amazing, that was a good portion of poutine but it wasn't hot!!

If you like to try something that is more up scale & tasty, that's the spot. You never had a Griot poutine like this, that just one dish🤤

Excellente expérience entre amis. La poutine aménagée aux saveurs caribéennes est excellente. Les autres mets sont savoureux. Les cocktails épicés sont exquis & notamment avec beaucoup de cannelle qui se marie si bien avec le rhum. Le service est attentionné & ils ont le souci de bien faire. Une excellente adresse de quartier qui mérite de se faire un nom au-delà de RPP.

Très bel accueil hier pour un évènement privé. Bouffe, cocktail & service, tout etais parfait. On repasse vous voir bientôt pour essayer la poutine au griot.
