Beyond Taste; A Journey Through Texture, Sound, & Elegance
This was, by far, one of the most remarkable culinary experiences I have had in quite some time.
We were delightfully surprised by the harmony of flavors, each dish felt like a dialogue between creativity & precision. The thoughtful pairing of cocktails & wines revealed a deep understanding of balance & nuance.
The dessert, in particular, was extraordinary; its texture evoked the sensation of a piece of sky melting delicately on the tongue, an ephemeral pleasure best savored with closed eyes. The staff demonstrated remarkable knowledge & passion, effortlessly guiding us through each course with grace & expertise.
The ambiance was nothing short of fantastic a fusion of jazz undertones & Caribbean rhythms that transported us to another sphere entirely. Once again, Chef Paul Toussaint & Chef Victor Blanchet have outdone themselves.
We are already looking forward to the next event, eager to see how they will continue to redefine the art of dining.
Superbe découverte!

great food, loved the pork crispy (recommended by the waiter) but tje conch was really unbelievably good! both split were enough to fill me & my friend. also the pain patate was very tasty!
The food here is very good. We tried the Griot, hummus, pintarde (guinea fowl) & spicy jerk chicken & all of them were extremely flavourful & unique. The spicy jerk chicken is actually spicy which I appreciated as well! I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area or as a place to go before a show at Place des Arts.
While the food was great I do have a couple of critiques: The cocktail menu while pretty extensive was very expensive & there was only one beer available (Corona), & the tables were not very good. Wobbly & the kind you'd find at a cheap breakfast restaurant or something of that nature.
None of these things really hindered the dining experience & like I said the food was amazing, but if there's anything to improve it'd be these.
Nous avons passé une excellente soirée au restaurant: la nourriture était délicieuse ( le griot fond à la bouche, le poisson est bien épicés mais pas piquant, le pain patate en dessert arrosé de crémas nous a ramené à notre enfance). Le Dj met de l'ambiance avec des rythmes qui nous emporte ailleurs malgré le froid glacial.
Le chef est toujours présent, très humble & courtois attentif au besoin de ses clients .
Je vous recommande cet restaurant bien situé au coeur du quartier des spectacles
The food was flavorful, comforting, & full of fresh ingredients. It used spices & herbs to create rich, bold tastes, with dishes like rice & beans, fried plantains, & marinated meats. Their meals were warm, homey, & rooted in Creole tradition. Their drinks were also interesting & unique. Will definitely recommend to friends.
Con: difficult to find parking, but is accessible via Metro & bus.
'Never judge a book by its cover' would be the quote this place embodies. Nicely situated, & once you walk in? The décor captivates you, not just in terms of the artwork around, but also from the plant lives within the establishment, but also from other art pieces that gives life in a way that truly captivated & can have one feel warmth from. A nice little cozy spot to get to enjoy solo, with a date or group of friends.
We had an exceptional experience at Kamúy. The Haitian dishes were full of rich flavor & beautifully presented. Our waiter went above & beyond - he kindly walked us through each menu item, explained the ingredients, & made thoughtful recommendations that did not disappoint. The hospitality was warm & genuine, making the entire dining experience unforgettable. Kamúy is a true celebration of Haitian cuisine & culture - highly recommended!
J'ai eu le plaisir de dîner au Kamuy & je dois dire que tout était parfait. La nourriture était absolument délicieuse, pleine de saveurs & magnifiquement présentée. Le service était tout aussi remarquable : chaleureux, attentionné & professionnel. On sent que chaque détail est pensé pour offrir une expérience mémorable. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant à tous les amateurs de bonne cuisine !

J'y suis allée à quelques reprises déjà & à chaque fois, l'expérience fut agréable. J'ai beaucoup apprécié l'entrée d'hummus aux haricots à oeil noir, onctueuse & savoureuse, ainsi que le poulet frit, croustillant à souhait. Mon coup de coeur fut assurément le cocktail Corossol Colada. La fusion de saveurs créoles est très réussie. L'ambiance est chaleureuse, même si l'éclairage en soirée est un peu sombre à mon goût, sans que cela n'enlève à la qualité de l'expérience globale. Une belle adresse que je recommande autant pour un souper entre amis que pour une sortie de couple.
j'ai trop aimé ce resto. Déjà La cuisine est super bonne & pleine de saveurs. Leur riz djon djon était incroyable . Les cocktails aussi étaient super bons. Niveau ambiance, le service top.
Perso je recommande à 100 % si vous aimez la cuisine caribéenne ou si vous voulez la découvrir 😍
Très bonne expérience ! Le service est très sympathique, le patron attentionné avec chacun de ses clients. Les plats (comme le poulet karaage) sont délicieux ! Attendez vous à passer un agréable moment.
La nourriture est bonne plus gastronomique en terme de nourriture créole mais ça demeure beaucoup de friture. Par ailleurs, le service aurait à être révisé. À notre arrivée à 19h30, le restaurant est presque vide. Nous sommes deux, plutôt que de nous octroyer une table à quatre & bien placée, on nous assoie à une table à deux, sur la terrasse & au fond. Pas de bières, & pas de vin au verre inscrit à la carte & pas de prix indiqué. Le choix de vin blanc n'est pas très grand, un Chardonnay seulement, on nous offre de goûter à un 2e vin qu'on nous sert chaud !!! Le choix revient donc à au seul proposé. Nous demandons quatre plats, on insiste pour en prendre un 5e qu'il nous faut absolument goûter. Nous hésitons, puis finalement, le plat s'avère celui qu'on aime le moins. Dommage ! Le serveur aurait dû s'en ternir uniquement à nos choix & nous le proposer si nous avions encore faim. Il aurait dû s'assurer de nos appétits. Est-ce qu'on y retournerait ? non
Some of our food was good, some was not great.
Atmosphere is cramped & loud, there were flies flying around inside the restaurant. It's a nice spot & a nice place, just felt like they could improve here. The servers were nice, but they were very slow, they checked on us once to see if we liked the food, but then never came back to bring us more water or to see if we wanted dessert or anything.
We had the Tomato salad, Ceviche, Fried chicken, Jerk Chicken, Griot & Grilled fish as well as 5 cocktails.
The fried chicken was delicious, the Griot was some of the best in Montreal, but the jerk chicken was horribly dry, the chicken was TINY, it felt like I was eating quail.
The Jerk chicken is 25$ on the menu, but after getting home & looking at my receipt, they charged us 32$ per portion (we ordered two portions to share).
The grilled fish was supposed to be 40$, they charged us 45$.
We were also charged 2$ more per drink than what was priced on the menu.
The bill for 4 people ended up over 325$ (before tip) with 5 drinks, a bottle of soda water, 4 appetizers & 3 mains.
For the price, the experience we had was not worth it.
