Review Summary

Marché Méli-Mélo offers a mixed experience where many patrons praise the generous portions and high quality of traditional Haitian dishes like the griot, though others express disappointment regarding perceived changes in recipes and inconsistent food standards. While some customers highlight the quick service and warm, helpful staff, others report unprofessional interactions and recurring issues with missing items in their takeout orders. Despite these inconsistencies in customer service and recent menu quality, many long-time patrons continue to appreciate the authentic flavors and consider it a go-to spot for Caribbean cuisine.

That should be your first Haitian restaurant if you want to try Sticky Rice & Griot. The Djondjon Rice on the weekend is solid. Really generous with portion size, so you have the option of having leftover or eat it all & get hit by the ITIS... Choose wisely!

This is by far the best Haitian Caribbean restaurant in Montreal. The meats whether it's pork griot or chicken has flavour & is tender. The same for their rice which has lots of flavour . They are generous with portions . They are consistent with the service. You don't go wrong with them . Other Haitian restaurants the meat is hard to chew their rice lack spices won't name them & lack consistency. Meli Melo never disappointed me all through the years.
