Delicious food & excellent service. It was our first time trying this spot, after reading many positive reviews, & we were very pleased with everything. The bistro is beautifully decorated & the meals were exceptional.
We will definitely be back - thank you for the friendly service!
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 .
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!
The hot chocolate is exceptional & there are excellent vegan options. Ralph, the owner, is very kind & generously remade one drink that, while lovely, was not 100% to our taste. The decor is beautiful & the space is very comfortable. I would highly recommend this gem for the delicious chocolate & the extremely welcoming & kind service. A definite favorite for every trip to Montreal!
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.
Delicious crepes, both savory & sweets, with beautiful presentation. Location is wonderfully chosen with a view on the river & parking easily available right in front. The service was impeccable; we were greeted with kindness, service was quick & attentive, & left us leaving satisfied.
Makaya was the perfect place to go after a long day! The kindness we received at Makaya was beyond appreciated. Not only were the staff so kind, they were super attentive! From recommending the best dishes & drinks to having patience to explain the ingredients that go into the dishes! I recommend Makaya for the tasty dishes, the kind service & what a beautiful terrace with gorgeous flowers by the water! You heard it here! Go see for yourself! 🌟
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.
