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.

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"!
