Fall-off-the-bone kabrit! Where to begin? It was honestly such a fun night. The place looks amazing. It's very immersive & it feels like we're entering a fancy grave. I loved the music by A$h Banks; it was top-tier selections nonstop! The food was so tasty, really well-seasoned & exceptional. Each dish was so unique & well-executed. We had 2 cocktails which were very delicious & potent! The mac & cheese was baked & creamy, & it didn't taste like water, as opposed to 99.9% of other places where they serve mac & cheese. It was really authentic & comforting. My discovery is the octopus carpaccio - let me tell you this one is a show stopper. SO fresh. & it was topped with a bruschetta-like sauce & focaccia. It was so unexpected & daring to compose a dish like that, but the tastes blended so well together, & it was also topped with mashed avocado. SO creative. I recommend this dish to everyone! The kabrit was G.O.A.T. It came with shishito peppers & it was literally the most tender kabrit I have ever tasted in my entire life. It just fell appart & melted like butter in my mouth. The griyo was outstanding! This dish is very authentic & simple, but it is executed exceptionally by Chef Mike Lafaille. The pikliz was pikliz! Very delicious & it's just what you hope for & more. We also ordered allocco which was just a delight! They use the sweet, ripe plantain & it was such a perfect addition to our dishes. I find the the menu is ecclectic & unexpected, but there is definitely caribbean tastes & influence in every dish I've tasted. I find it so rare to find fusion restaurants that make sense & Kwizinn makes sense! It's really well-executed & it was worth every penny. Don't go there without an open mind. It's truly an experience & they also do brunch & have fun events. I also appreciate that they were very family-friendly. We came with a baby & they didn't make us feel uncomfortable, which some fancy restaurants can sometimes make you feel like & inconvenience if you have a family or young baby, but it was not the case at Kwizinn. It's very welcoming. The service was great! I could feel the passion in every person who served us. It shows that they love what they do. They tended to our needs & were super friendly. I love that it's a chic environment, but it's also very warm & loving. A huge shoutout to Claudia who is such a great host & made me feel at home! This one is already a staple in the city. It's so worth it. I can't wait to go back & try more dishes. I'm really proud that we have such an institution here in Montreal. Bravo to everyone involved! Fantastic experience. Will recommend & tell everyone.

Yo yo yo, the cuisine in this place is just 👌🏽👏🏻...I'm from Central Africa & eating here felt like I was at home. It's a very modern touch on Afro-Carribean food.

Our server visibly relaxed when we opened with "Help us choose. Spicy is okay." Things went well from there. We ate light, choosing the pork griot & the mushroom empanadas. Both were very good, Solid wine list too. We'll be back soon for a full meal.

It was average. My wife ordered the chicken, & they burned it. She said it was dry. It didn't look like what others had on their pics on here. They also didn't provide a half chicken, just wings & drumsticks. Felt like we didn't get value on our order here. I ordered the burger, & it was really good. The fries were the driest fries I ever ate in my life. It was unedible though. Overcooked was a regular theme with the food, even the plantains were dry. I didn't make for an enjoyable dining experince. Even the djon djon rice wasn't djon djon rice. We were confused at what we were served. The atmosphere was nice. I was thinking that I'd come back & order the appetizer plate before the food came. I think I'll pass instead.

Really flavourful & delicious food! The atmosphere was also gorgeous & I loved that there was a live DJ. The service though very nice, wasn't the most attentive & we found ourselves thirsty a lot & our drinks ended up coming after our meal arrived. But overall I still really enjoyed the experience!

Got to enjoy this beautiful new location with a group of friends. We got to try many sharing plates. All were absolutely delicious. The cocktails were amazing, the atmosphere was very pleasant. A must try experience. We will definitely be back.

Good atmosphere & food! The only negative (but that does quite impact the overall experience) is the service. Extremely slow waitress (& the restaurant wasn't packed). Took 15-20 minutes to get cocktails, & no water. We had to ask someone to give us some water after waiting for 20 minutes for someone to come to our table. We felt forgotten. I mean, the food is AMAZING & the live band was great - but the service ruins it. Then you're asked to tip 18% or more, makes no sense. Anyways, thanks for the great food & ambiance but please have your waiters be more attentive.
