Ma visite au Bistro Makaya fut plus qu'un simple dîner, ce fut une immersion dans l'essence même d'Haïti, rappelant la splendeur du Pic de Makaya, cette montagne emblématique située en Haïti & point culminant du massif de la Hotte à 2 347 mètres d'altitude. Dès l'accueil, le propriétaire a su créer une atmosphère chaleureuse & accueillante qui nous a transportés. En cuisine, le chef a véritablement capturé l'esprit du territoire haïtien, nous offrant des plats aux saveurs majestueuses qui sont un hommage à la diversité & à la richesse de la gastronomie locale. Chaque bouchée était comme une ascension gustative au sommet du Pic de Makaya, révélant des horizons de saveurs inexplorés. L'ambiance était magnifiée par la sélection musicale d'un DJ talentueux, qui, à travers des rythmes haïtiens, a ajouté une dimension vibrante & profondément authentique à notre soirée. Le Bistro Makaya n'est pas seulement un lieu de restauration; c'est une célébration de la culture, de l'histoire & du patrimoine haïtien, offrant une expérience culinaire qui est aussi riche & variée que le paysage du Pic de Makaya lui-même. Un grand bravo à toute l'équipe pour avoir élevé l'art culinaire haïtien à de tels sommets ! Mon seul hic est que aucun serveur n est venu me demander si je voulais boire ou prendre quelque chose. Le propriétaire m a gracieusement offert un apéritif vue l'attente.View more

This is my neighbourhood. So, I know that this is the only bona fide cocktail lounge on St. Joseph Boulevard. The decor can be described as eclectic with Haitian touches. The decor can be described as charmingly eclectic, with some Haitian art influences. It's a congenial place to have a cocktail & look out over the water. I was instantly attracted to the martinis on the drink menu. The person who served me also was the one who made my martinis. He mentioned that he made them in the New York style because of his experience in that city. I was not disappointed. So much so that I could not stop at only one martini! So, I recommend the apple & lychee martinis. I did not have anything substantial to eat, so I do not know about the quality of the food there. Despite that, the cocktail lounge is a very welcome addition to the neighbourhood. When my family comes to visit, I now have a congenial place to take them for some cocktails.View more

Makaya is an incredible Haitian bistro with delicious chocolate, desserts, food, & drinks. The atmosphere is warm & cozy, with a beautiful view over the old part of Canal Lachine. We ordered hot chocolate, frappés, savoury chicken & cheese crêpes, & bought some desserts to-go - everything was amazing! While we were there during the evening, & happened to catch a beautiful view of the sunset over the water, it also makes for a great spot for a coffee break &/or brunch.View more
