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.
