About us

At Kwizinn Vieux-Port, co-owners Michael Lafaille and Claudia Fiorelli bring a vibrant fusion of Caribbean flavours to the heart of Montreal's Old Port. Chef Mike Lafaille expertly blends traditional Caribbean spices with contemporary culinary techniques to create unique fusion dishes such as our octopus carpaccio, lobster poutine, plantain burger, and bao fall of di bone. The bold use of fresh herbs, rich marinades, and zesty sauces brings out the authentic and vibrant flavours that define Kwizinn Vieux-Port’s Caribbean fusion cuisine.

For a more immersive experience, Kwizinn Vieux-Montréal offers a range of special events throughout the week. Enjoy jazz nights every Thursday from 6 to 9 pm, while Fridays and Saturdays feature local DJs spinning beats late into the night. Every Friday to Sunday, indulge in a delightful brunch from 11:30 am to 3 pm, where you can savour dishes like our Fried Chicken Sandwich with coconut-marinated chicken, maple syrup, pikliz rosé, or the Tropical Wrap filled with sautéed vegetables and a choice of shredded griot or braised beef. The menu also features our creamy 3 Cheeses Mac n’ Cheese, the flavourful vegetarian dish Grilled Eggplant Obe Ata, and the savoury Chef Lafaille's Griot with fried plantains and pikliz. After brunch on Sunday, enjoy a lively Cuban night from 6 to 9 pm. We also have a private dining room perfect for groups and special occasions, and we regularly host thematic evenings, from Caribbean-inspired culinary nights to rum-tasting events.

I ordered the Mac & Cheese & it was DIVINE!!! the reason I gave 3 stars is because when I made my reservation, the site mentions that I get 2 hours at the table. To my surprise 1 hour 20 mins in, I was already being asked to pay & leave because there was a reservation but I too had a reservation. I didn't even get to order dessert or a second drink. Due to this treatment, I most certainly won't be going back there.Nonetheless, the food is 💯💯💯!!

This was a fantastic little spot with a wonderfully imaginative menu. I warmly encourage the owners/managers, though, to be more thoughtful/inclusive with your beverage options. With nothing for people who don't drink (recovering, sober, etc.), but who don't want to have the same choices as the kids at the next table (specifically, OJ or one of two soda options), that aspect of a great night out was a little disappointing.
