Vibe was good, they had a good DJ but the food was just ok.. no flare & pretty basic. They brought our order of rice to a diff table, it got sent back to the kitchen & when it was finally delivered to our table the rice was cold. Really fatty griot & the portions are small for the price.View more
Excellente expérience. Belle ambiance. Service impeccable. Le dj'était su a coche' 🤌🏾. Beau choix de menu, cependant, j'ai trouvé mon Riz djon djon trop salé & pâteux. Sinon le reste était parfait.View more
Endroit exeptionnel. Nous avons pris le menu spécial St-valentin : 10/10View more
DELICIOUS!!! Made a reservation here for a Sunday night which also had a live Cuban band, Havana Mambo, which was awesome. The staff was lovely, the venue is beautiful, the drinks were great, & the food was AMAZING! Their brunch also looks to be a good time, so would want to come back for that. I HIGHLY recommend for a great time, if you're looking for something fun, different, & delicious, this is the place to go!View more
My partner & I went here on a Saturday night after landing in Montreal. The service was great & the food was very tasty. The bao was really good! I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great African/caribbean food. The cocktail choices were also great & they were very tasty. The night we were there, there was a live DJ which was pleasantly surprising!View more
Très bonne cuisine ! Super restaurant. Haute qualité des produits. Cuisson parfaite du griot & du cabri ! Nous étions dimanche nous avons eu des musiciens cubains en live c'était top. Nous recommandons ce restaurant. Manger de la bonne nourriture des caraïbes par -15 degrés nous a bien réchauffé ! Le riz djondjon était excellent aussi ! Nous avions pris le menu dégustation ... Faire confiance au chef ! Très bons cocktails aussi 😉View more
Très belle ambiance, l’accueil était chaleureux & le service impeccable. Les cocktails étaient bien équilibrés & parfaitement préparés. Un endroit idéal pour passer un bon moment.View more
La cuisine est bonne & le personnel souriant mais 28$ pour un champignon coupé en deux sur un peu de sauce… J'ai juste l'impression qu'on m'a volé mon argent.View more
Warning: tourism trap 1st location was incroyable. 2nd location got a bit worse. 3rd location in Vieux-Port is made for tourists! Overpriced & overhyped. The service however, is extremely AMAZING! Ambiance of restaurant is lovely. I do not recommend the Chef Tasting menu, it's too expensive. - Bao was oddly tangy. Not a good bao. - cold menu: plantain hummus purée is extremely creative & executed so so well. - cold menu: arctic char & octopus was comme ci comme ça, pas mal. - avocado was mixed with cod, which is cool & unique. - pork (griot) was extremely dry. The meat sauce could not have made it better. - salad was lame & shrimp not good. - Coleslaw was spicy & really nice - plantain was dry - jerk chicken was the best thing, would recommend! - mushroom infused rice was creative & not bad - would not recommend the empanadas, they were dry. Overall, the items are so creative. But the ideas were not executed well. It's too bad that this is not good Caribbean cuisine.View more
We went to the Christmas bar downstairs. Everything was good, but I wish they had more dairy free options for people with allergies. Most of the Christmas cocktails had milk products in them which isn't bad in & of itself, just kind of wish they had something clearly labeled for people.View more
Wow belle soirée à cet endroit. La nourriture succulente & repensée! Le staff est super, je recommande.View more
The plantain was dry & the food just wasn't it. Definitely recommend anything from the grill though :) Loved the location & the waiters were nice. Over all, I would expect better food from a Haitian restaurantView more
Expérience médiocre au bar caché de Noël : Le poisson ne sentait pas frais, on nous a chargé un frais de réservation de 8$/personne alors qu'il n'y avait aucune attente sur place, on ne venait pas ramasser notre table, bref, le marketing de ce resto ne reflète pas l'expérience.View more
TOO NOISY !!! before you walk in you are confronted with a blaring speaker pointing outside, with the door wide open. Then you get inside , the place is beautiful & the menu is interesting. However don't plan on having a conversation because the music is too loud & everyone is talking loudly to hear one another. Not relaxing or enjoyable. Just look through the window to see the pretty interior then walk away. Turn down the stupid speakersView more
Mon amie & moi avons été très agréablement surprises. La salle était magnifique & le service exceptionnel. Nous avons été servie par Schubert. Le reste des serveurs ont également été extrêmement agréables avec nous. La cuisine était délicieuse & le groupe de Jazz en live offrait une ambiance superbe. Kwizin est définitivement sur ma liste de restaurants à faire & refaire! Je vous conseille vivement l'endroit!View more
The restaurant is quaint, the food is mostly good but the shrimp salad was pretty ordinary. The music was far too loud. The live band was great but I had trouble hearing the person across the table from me. The restaurant was not well heated, i don't usually mind the cold but had to keep my tuque on to keep my head warm. The speakeasy in the basement is no speakeasy at all, the music was far too loud & I still had a hard time hearing my partner. The decorations for Christmas felt a bit thrown together. The drinks were very nice but pricey, paying 22$ for a cocktail in a noisy room with people trying to talk loudly over the music made it difficult to truly enjoy the experience. Service in the restaurant was great, the staff is lovely. I won't be returning to the speakeasy (or recommending it to anyone) but I may go to the restaurant again because the food was great.View more
Moi & mon copain avons découvert le secret bar sous le Kwizzin, & quelle expérience! ✨ Le service était impeccable, & les drinks étaient tout simplement exceptionnels. Un énorme merci à Claudia, Stéphane & Kevin qui ont rendu notre soirée mémorable avec leur accueil chaleureux! La bouffe était délicieuse, & l'ambiance festive nous a vraiment mis dans l'esprit du temps des Fêtes. On reviendra sans hésiter!View more
