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

Je suis tombée sur ce restaurant par hasard, & quelle belle surprise ! J'y ai goûté des crêpes au chocolat & caramel au beurre salé, un vrai régal. En plus, le personnel était vraiment chaleureux & attentionné. Une belle découverte que je recommande sans hésiter !View more

Super moment ! On est allés prendre un café & des crêpes sucrées, c'était vraiment délicieux. Le service était top, & le personnel super sympa & accueillant. Franchement, une belle découverte - je recommande à 100 % !View more

What a charming spot that is a mix of a speakeasy & a salon. The chocolate is excellent, & is as sweet as the owner's Ralph attitude.
It's on the expensive side but the chocolate is imported & frankly tastes great. This is not the overly sweet milk chocolate found in grocery stores, for me it justifies the price.
We had a great time. I recommend the crepe with dulce de leche.View more

Nous avons commandé l'entrée de caviar d'aubergines, un délice ! Ainsi que le chiktay de morue ( spécialité haïtienne) que j'ai découvert le soir de notre visite & qui était excellent! Le propriétaire qui célèbre son anniversaire aujd, joyeux anniversaire Ralph! est très gentil ainsi que son personnel! Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillie malgré le retard de mon ami (à cause de l'état des routes). Ce resto est à découvrir à Lachine! Nous y retournerons afin de déguster un délicieux chocolat chaud accompagné de crêpes. C'est également un rendez-vous les dimanche pour le brunch avec la fameuse soupe Joumo!
Merci à tous! Nous avons passé une superbe soirée!View more

Nice, cosy, almost intimate atmosphere. The kind of place where you go when you feel like listening to good music while you chill or have some work to do. Or when you want do take your love out for a nice, romantic little something.
The hot chocolate is actual hot chocolate - old style. You don't find that in many places. The chocolate crepe was delicious. & they also have several kinds of chocolate truffles. Don't go there if you're a diabetic, you won't be able to resist temptation! ;)View more

Stopped in to pick up an order for my very pregnant sister & honestly I'd go out of my way to come back here. It looked cozy & romantic, smelled delicious & everyone was SO genuinely friendly. My sister loved her food & if it wasn't so late in the evening, I would have had a coffee with the chocolate crepe because it all smelled & looked so amazing. They even went out of their way to hold the door for me on the way out. Just super lovely people making super delicious food in a super beautiful little spot!View more

A gem of a cozy café bistro - comfy couch, cute book corner, a small fireplace...& chocolate! Tchaka soup was warm & delicious. The crèpe au chocolat was divine. I'll be back to try other items on the menu. Merci!
Laura
Such a cute spot with great food & desserts. We had the Maïs a la Bonne Femme, hot chocolate (try the spicy one but it is actually spicy!), the dulce de leche crepe & a salted caramel truffle. Everything was delicious & the staff was so friendly when we came in just before closing. Would recommend stopping by!View more

Beautiful little bistro with limited but flavorful dishes ( great Haitian potage). Nice selection of french crepes & of course chocolate desserts( didn't try). Delicious pisco sour! Lovely attentive service & wonderful, cozy decor looking out to lake. Will definitely return! Should add daily menu & offer a salad option or two.View more

Special thanks to the owner 💜Ralph Leroy 💜who gave us a very good service & helped us picked our crêpe & chocolate This place wasn't packed, the music volum & genre was good , place was clean, & the aesthetic was very classy.

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
