About

Kovest Resto specializes in traditional Haitian cuisine, focusing on authentic preparations of marinated meats and flavorful grains. The menu prominently features griot, consisting of succulent cubes of pork marinated in citrus and spices before being fried to a crisp finish. Diners frequently pair these protein selections with pikliz, a spicy cabbage relish that provides a sharp contrast to the savory profiles of the main courses. Large portions of legumes, stewed vegetables, and rice and beans served with rich creole sauces characterize the core culinary offerings. The establishment maintains a functional dining space suitable for experiencing these robust Caribbean flavors in a straightforward environment. Patrons find consistent execution of spice-forward dishes that represent the distinct regional cooking techniques found across Haiti.

J'ai commandé du griot & le riz goutait les fruits de mer & la viande avait pratiquement juste du gras. Je ne recommande vraiment pas.. le pire griot que j'ai goûté à date.

C'est un des meilleurs restaurant à Montréal, quand tu manges la nourriture de Kovest tu as l'impression que tu te trouves en Haïti. J'aime vraiment les plats. Un jour, j'avais commandé un plat de fritay, c'était tellement beaucoup que j'ai dû manger mon plat à deux reprises de la journée.
C'est un restaurant que je recommande fortement!

Junior chef was courteous, kind, friendly & professional, & the food tastes very good. Authentic Haitian cuisine. Extremely surprised at the variety of options that were available, given the fact that we showed up at 11pm. I wish he was located in Ottawa. Highly recommend, Will come back again!!!! 😊
