Review Summary

Makaya Chocolat & Bistro is a charming, scenic destination along the water, celebrated for its authentic Caribbean cuisine and exceptional hot chocolate crafted from high-quality cocoa. Many visitors appreciate the warm, personalized hospitality provided by the owner and the friendly team, noting that the atmosphere is cozy and perfect for relaxed gatherings. While the dining experience is frequently described as a flavorful, home-cooked delight with standout dishes like Creole chicken and various gourmet crepes, feedback suggests that the service pace can occasionally be leisurely due to the made-from-scratch preparations and current staffing levels. Overall, the bistro is widely regarded as a unique, inviting space that offers a memorable and heartfelt culinary experience for locals and visitors alike.

This is my neighbourhood. So, I know that this is the only bona fide cocktail lounge on St. Joseph Boulevard. 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 owner 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.

I have only had hot chocolate & crepe in this place. Hot chocolate hands on the best I have ever had. The consistency that I like.
The brie & salted caramel crepe is amazing.

The service was slow in a few times that I have been there. It makes sense for the hot chocolate because they make it from scratch. They will let you onow beforehand. But again they seem to be short staffed & except for the owner the rest of the staff do not seem to have proper training in the industry.
The restrooms are kind of worn down. Despite being decently clean.

Ambiance unique dans ce restaurant au concept original : un parfait mélange de 5 à 7 festif & de musique old soul qui crée une atmosphère chaleureuse & rétro.

Belle vue, personnel sympathique & ambiance agréable. Dommage que plusieurs items du menu n'étaient pas disponibles.

L'endroit a du potentiel & on repassera pour le brunch.
