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.

The staff is generally described as welcoming, warm, and professional, creating a positive overall dining atmosphere. While most feedback is highly positive, some patrons have noted concerns regarding the restaurant interior comfort, inconsistent availability of certain menu items late in the day, and isolated incidents involving service transparency.

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!!!! 😊

Food was dry. I ordered beef tassot fritay. Sauce was missing even i asked twice. The bald head guy behind the counter was dishonest & manipulative. For a pick up,Got charged almost 34$ for 28$ plate, he added 6$ tips to himself then handed the payment pad discreetly,hiding the screen with his hand, so u can just tap without any knowledge of the generous tip that you unconsciously donate. These type of behavior are from a personal nature, but irresponsibly propagate the hate & stygma on the Haïtian community & should be condemned.

La bouffe est extrèmement bonne, par contre les deux fois que j'y suis allé il leur manquait des choses (plus de riz collé/pikliz/macaroni).
Il faut pt pas y aller trop tard dans la journée.
Le poulet 10/10 rien à dire!
