Good food, outstanding service. Flavours were on point but portion sizes a bit small for the price. Would recommend nevertheless for the unique dishes & gorgeous location.

Cet avis concerne le kiosque du restaurant situé sur la promenade du Vieux Port, devant le Centre des sciences. Vraiment, le repas était excellent. La portion était généreuse.

I celebrated my birthday here (large group of about 20 people) & every single person LOVED the experience. I highly recommend the tasting menu, it was an incredible bang-for-buck. The food was absolutely amazing, the place is gorgeous as well with a nice atmosphere. Chef Mike helped me set up the reservation & he was amazing & so helpful. A total 10/10 experience. The music was also a 10/10, the server was so patient & sweet too (even though some of the guests were very late & kept changing seats. I was a server once, & that can be a lot to deal with but our server did it with a smile).

They have a speakeasy in the resto too, which I would have totally visited but unfortunately we had reservations at a club so we had to leave.

Chef Mike, if you ever see this you are a total rockstar! Not only will I be back but I will continue to recommend your resto to every person I meet!

Our dinner at Kwizinn was exceptional! The cocktails & food were delicious. We chose their special price fixe table (Table d'hôte) option. The oxtail empanada, ceviche, fried pork griot, picanha steak were excellent. There was also live music - a mix of jazz, samba, & Caribbean music - which made dinner extra nice. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for dinner in Old Montreal, just one block away from the most crowded locations there, but close to everything.

Tried the Kwizinn food truck while walking through Old Port & was pleasantly surprised. At $21, the griot plate seemed a bit steep at first-but honestly, it delivered. They use a different cut than your typical griot: four big, fatty, juicy pieces of pork, perfectly cooked & packed with flavor. The riz collé was moist & delicious, not dry like you sometimes get. I'm usually not big on pikliz, but theirs hit the spot-just the right balance of acidity & heat without being overpowering. We also tried the plantain burger, which was super original & full of flavor. All in all, a delicious & memorable stop. Would definitely come back.

This place changed my g'dmn life.
No, seriously, that is how this place felt.

Came to Montréal & I fell in love, not with the city but with Kwizinn itself.
My daughter & I were recommended by friends to come here, & we wandered in at dinner time on a quiet Sunday evening. We had not really checked the menu/prices beforehand, but I think had we, we might have been scared off & not gone.
The atmosphere is immaculate. Their location is a beautifully decorated space near but not on the main road of Old Montréal. On one side of the restaurant is a larger group seating are & on the other is a more intimate dining room where the bar & floor to ceiling windows give you views of the square. From the flowers on the table to the color of the benches, you can tell everything in this place has been carefully chosen to reflect the type of restaurant they want to be.

It is kid friendly, but older kids; not like the ones that would scream. The wait staff was so attentive, too. Our waitress (I'm sorry I forgot your name!) was lovely & had so many recommendations for us based on our likes & dislikes. Water glasses were never empty, the table was cleared promptly, & questions were asked in great detail. Not in an irritating way, in an I see you & I care kind of way. It was genuine, & you can tell they really enjoy & love what they do.

All this, & I haven't even gotten to the food yet. My god.
The yucca fries & the sauce - definitely got my kid to eat her vegetables. The plantain burger made her eyes water both from spice but also love. & the Cornish hen with the sauce & grilled pineapple... wooooww. It was so tender & juicy while retaining the smoke & char of how it had been cooked. At the end of all that, they recommended dessert. I wasn't hungry, but we ate the beignets anyways. To round out the night, we were fortunate enough to take in their regular Sunday night Cuban band. It was a wonderful experience & we can honestly say that we might make a trip back just for the food.

Je pense que les commentaires résument bien. En gros, vous payez pour le cadre du vieux-port. La nourriture est correct, mais les portions & le goût ne suivent pas le prix. Les cocktails sont bons mais chers. Excellent service sinon.

Amazing! Vibe, decor, food, cocktails were all perfect! The octopus carpaccio was absolutely delicious!!! So much so that we went back a second time. It was the BEST dish we had during our stay in Montreal. I'm still thinking about it! We also had the griot which was very flavorful & not too fatty. Highly recommend Kwizinn! You'll eat well & feel happy doing it!
