Review Summary

Le Platana is widely praised for its authentic, delicious, and high-quality Ivorian cuisine, with guests frequently highlighting the flavorful chicken, fish, and signature platters. The restaurant offers a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere that makes many diners feel right at home, often accompanied by lively music and friendly service. While the dining experience on-site is frequently described as impeccable and warm, there are consistent reports of inconsistencies with delivery orders and occasional concerns regarding the cleanliness of the facilities. Despite these areas for improvement, the overall sentiment remains very positive, with many patrons eager to return for the homemade flavors and hospitable staff.

Les repas étaient très écoeurants, très dégoûtants. Je ne recommande en aucun cas ce restaurant à quiconque. On en parle de l'état des toilettes? Très sales. J'ai commandé un plat de placali sauce gombo qui était immangeable à une somme qui ne reflétait pas le rapport qualité/ prix. Je vous déconseille très fortement. Il y'a d'autres restaurants africains à Montréal. Allez y partout sauf à celui ci

Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant - do not recommend.

The restaurant doesn't seem to have the slightest idea of what hospitality means.

I ordered food which took close to 3 hours to prepare. Nowhere was this disclosed so that customers can take an informed decision, on the contrary they had given me a 1 hour ETA.

When I called the restaurant to inquire, I was met with a condescending behavior, with no apology nor explanation for the delays & then I was hung up on.

I tried calling after another hour as there was still no sight of my food, but the restaurant never picked up the phone again. They either closed their line or blocked my number.

Once the food arrived, for a VERY late dinner, my friends enjoyed the dishes. I find solace in the fact that AT LEAST the food was good.

This behavior is beyond unacceptable.
It is regretful that I find myself writing this review. I'm always eager to uplift africain restaurateurs but in this case I must warn others. These are the standards of the restaurant. No steps were taken to address these issues, no apology, no goodwill gesture.

Je suis extrêmement déçu de ma commande. Pourtant cela faisait plus d'un an que je voulais aller sur place tester avec un ami. Aujourd'hui c'est sûre que je n'y mettrai jamais les pieds, d'ailleurs j'aurais du lire les commentaires ici avant de lancer ma commande. 51$ pour un Foutou sauce graine boeuf portion une personne c'est littéralement du vol, il n'y a pas d'or dedans de ce que j'ai vu ! Sauce graine vide, rien que la viande & un accompagnement de piment. Allez chez belle afrique, même s'ils ont plus de panure que de poissons dans leurs garba c'est plus encourageant ! Sinon le top c'est un autre resto que je garde secret en terme de qualité/quantité/prix !
