10/10, delicious food & drinks! I recommend the 5-hour cooked pork on rice with plantains, the Mote con Chicharron, the Seco de Pollo & the Guacamayo cocktail 🔥🔥

Also get a dessert, because the co-owner is à pastry chef, she knows what she's doing 💯

Endroit vraiment sympathique, avec une ambiance chaleureuse & un très beau décor. Le service était attentionné, accueillant & très agréable.

Nous avons partagé le trio d'empanadas ainsi que le ceviche mixte aux fruits de mer, & les deux étaient excellents. J'ai particulièrement aimé l'empanada au plantain vert, qui était délicieuse & originale.

Je recommande vivement cet endroit & j'y retournerai avec plaisir !

This is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. If you enjoy friendly service & food that is bursting with flavor, I cannot recommend it enough.

I first wandered in for their happy hour special - two craft cocktails for the price of one. I also ordered the ceviche, which was incredible. It was full of delicious seafood & the leche de tigre was incredible. The staff all speak perfect French, English, & Spanish & were incredibly friendly.

The ceviche was so good that I went back the next night for dinner, & I was wowed again. On the bartender's recommendation, I ordered the pork tonga, & it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. It was full of complex flavor, fall apart tender, & a perfect portion. It is served with plantains that are by far the best I've ever had.

Any time I'm back in Montreal, I'll make it a priority to return to Kawsay.

Kawsay is amazing! The food was delicious & the presentation was really high-end. The caldo de bolas & the blue cheese mouchin were definitely the highlights, & the plantain & honey dessert was the perfect way to finish. Camila was an incredible host,super attentive & gave us great recommendations. Plus, the music & vibe there are just great. 10/10 recommended!
