Mon expérience a été mitigée. Le service était moyen & manquait de sincérité, malgré des efforts apparents. J'avais précisé lors de la réservation que l'ambiance devait être calme pour une réunion, mais à mon arrivée, la musique était trop forte (reggaeton). Après avoir demandé de baisser le volume, cela a été fait, mais avec réticence. Les plats étaient bons, le chocolat chaud agréable, bien que servi en dernier, ce qui m'a semblé étrange pour un endroit spécialisé.
Les prix étaient abordables & sur la facture, un article m'a été facturé en trop, mais j'ai pu rectifier cela. L'expérience dépend beaucoup du serveur, & malheureusement, la mienne n'a pas été idéale. L'endroit est joli, mais pourrait mieux correspondre à ce qui est montré en ligne.View more

2 étoiles 1/2 en réalité
Je recommanderai fortement ce restaurant si vous voulez prendre un dessert .les crêpes étaient succulentes .
Pour le brunch nous étions 4 personnes & chacun de nos plats étaient fades & sans saveur : la crêpe du chef n avait aucune épice . Le poulet dans la crêpe semblait bouilli uniquement . Le riz haitien aucune épice , la ratatouille non plus aucune saveur .La salade artibonite avait trop de sauce .
Les 2 serveuses s alternaient & semblaient complètement débordées pourtant quand on est arrivées le restaurant n étaient pas encore plein . L attente était longue également. pour avoir nos lattes on a du rappeler à la serveuse numéro 2 qu' on avait commandé depuis un moment avec la serveuse 1 .
En résumé j y retournerai uniquement pour les desserts / un snack en passant . Pas pour un repasView more

I love , love this restaurant. I was looking forward to eating there for months now . A friend recommended it. The owner Ralph was personable , made my food on the spot after asking me a few questions . He treated my mother & I so well. We felt that we were having a private experience from the food to the service . The park across the street is a beautiful backdrop for this restaurant . I will be back & I've already share it with Friends I know are traveling to Montreal soon .View more

Makaya Chocolat & Bistro is hands down my favorite spot.
Every week, I drive over 30 minutes just to get their Creole Cajou Chicken with rice & beans-& let me tell you, as someone from the Caribbean, this is the best chicken I've had in a very long time.
The atmosphere is full of life & warmth, & the owner makes you feel like part of the family from the moment you walk in. You're greeted with smiles, laughter, & that unique Caribbean hospitality that's hard to find elsewhere.
Whether it's a regular visit or one of their themed weekend brunches, there's always something magical in the air. Makaya isn't just a restaurant-it's a whole vibe.View more

I am visiting Montréal from the States & my friend takes me here.
The food is amazing, the reception is so warm & caring. The servers have such manners, the decor is very cozy, & the owner comes to our table to ensure that everything was to our liking.
I would love to be able to come here more often. Too bad I don't live in Montreal.
But I am recommending this venue for casual outings, dates, tea time, & friends/family gatherings.
Thank you to everyone who made the experience wonderful for me.

Where passion, culture, & a culinary experience collide.
This gem of place, will transport you through courtesy, a great meal, & wonderful conversation. I describe it as a place because it's not only a restaurant it's also a place to experience your senses is on a different level.
The food is savoured.
The texture is intentional.
The temperature is part of the technique.
I will be returning to better understand what I'm writing about this place. There's something very unique about experiencing a meal here, something very authentic & inviting.View more

On April 3rd, I had a conversation with a friend regarding my trip from Florida to Montreal, during which she recommended visiting Makaya while in Montreal. Upon arrival, while driving to my sister's residence, I inadvertently entered Makaya's address into my GPS. When I arrived, the service exceeded my expectations. Those familiar with me know that I place a high value on excellent food & exceptional service, which is often difficult to find in Florida.
Subsequent to my visit to Makaya, I conducted research on the owner, Ralp, to expand my knowledge of his background & the underlying reasons for the exceptional service, which revealed his distinguished status as a Haitian icon. The service on Sunday evening proved to be even more exceptional than the outstanding experience of Saturday night. Ralp, I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude for the superb treatment & warm hospitality I received, which culminated in an extraordinary experience; I am committed to making Makaya a regular destination during my future visits to Montreal. I offer my sincerest wishes for your continued prosperity & success.View more

I had the pleasure of dining at THIS Haitian Bistro, & it was truly an unforgettable experience. The spices in the dishes warmed the soul, & the chef was just as warm & accommodating, making us feel right at home. We started with the bread soup, which was an explosion of flavor-rich, comforting, & full of depth. It was more than just a dish; it was an experience. Even the PURE chocolate dessert exceeded expectations, adding a perfect touch to our meal. The vibe inside was absolutely ideal for a date, with a cozy & welcoming atmosphere that made the evening feel even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy flavors in a charming setting!View more

Belle place, bon service. Le café latté glacé est un peu cher (12$) mais le service est impeccable & surtout ils offrent des bonnes pailles en plastique & non des pailles en carton qui deviennent molle en 30 seconde. Merci Makaya!View more
