Fantastic spot! We tried the tarot croquettes, curry & sweat potato gnocchi. Every bite was flavourful & delicious! Our friends had the jerk chicken & also enjoyed.

5 étoiles sur toute la ligne, l'ambiance, l'accueil, le menu! Tout était délicieux & preuve d'un menu recherché. Le menu change aux deux mois ce que je trouve divin. Il faut essayer les cocktails maisons! J'y suis allée pour mon anniversaire & j'ai passé un moment spécial. Merci d'avoir reçu mon groupe. Vous nous reverrez bientôt!

J'adore ce restaurant. Service attentionné, cuisine délicieuse & réconfortante. Le bokit est LE sandwich Guadeloupéen qui me ramène dans la chaleur des fins de soirées caribéennes. Un incontournable ! Sérieusement le meilleur restaurant créole en ville.

La nourriture était excellente, j'ai beaucoup aimé! C'était un "remix" de plusieurs plats caribéens classiques. J'ai aimé les rouleaux frits de poulets & les drinks étaient très bons aussi, je recommande le "Coach Dan"!

J'ai commandé le dombré crevette en pensant retrouver le plat de chez moi... la Guadeloupe! Malheureusement j'ai été plus que Déçu d'avoir reçu ce plat avec des crevettes cocktails... je peux comprendre qu'avec l'inflation sûrement le prix final aurait été plus élevé j'aurai préféré payer plus & avoir des vrai crevettes dans mon plat ! Le cocktail planteur il était trop dilué (peut être trop de glaçons...) Les Accras de morue trop de pâte vs morue . Je me faisais une joie d'avoir découvert un resto antillais dans les parages...

Belle ambiance sympathique... on se croirait en vacances! Nous avons mangé sur la grande terrasse. Les crevettes étaient excellentes & avons beaucoup apprécié la sangria & le mocktail au rhum.

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!!

Les cocktails sont délicieux. La nourriture est bonne mais pas excellente comme on s'y attendait. Certaines présentations sont à réviser. Cela n'empêche que c'est peut-être à réessayer. Le serveur était très patient & souriant.

Really nice restaurant with delicious food & great service. The cocktail menu alone is worth the detour with so many options & twists on classics to give it a tropical feel. The food was really good, like an elevated fusion caribbean comfort food. Our server Stevie was super nice & very accommodating. We were a group of 9 & he kind of made us a taste all menu. Very affordable feast :) Definitely recommend!

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🤤
