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.
