Review Summary

While the food is frequently described as delicious and a great value for the price, opinions on authenticity are divided, particularly concerning the preparation of rice and jerk chicken.

I can't say enough good things about the cabrit dish. So flavorful with the spice level just right. I haven't had a good haitian meal in months & this was a breath of fresh air.

Avec mon copain, on a demandé si on pouvait remplacer la viande de notre plat par des bananes plantains. Ils nous ont regardé de travers. Ils ont ensuite remplacé la viande pour une assiette seulement. Je me suis donc retrouvée à devoir payer le même prix pour un plat sans viande & sans remplacement. Pas très cool

The jerk chicken was delicious-tender, flavourful, & cooked perfectly. The plantain frites on the side were a great addition. However, the accompanying sauce could use more depth, & the salad strips were quite bland. Overall a good meal.

Un de mes restaurants préférés ! ❤? C'est délicieux ! La viande & les poissons sont toujours d'une fraîcheur & d'une tendreté irréprochables ! Je ne comprends pas pourquoi il n'a pas au moins 4.5 ⭐? Le rapport qualité-prix est très bien pour la qualité de la nourriture & les portions sont très correctes ! 👌🇭🇹

Le goût etait tres bon, mais sur 4 morceau de griot, 3 étaient d'énorme morceau de gras, en plus d'avoir une seule banane plantain. Mais niveau goût, rien a dire

A little disappointed with my experience here, I am very familiar with Haitian food
& whoever made the riz djon djon was definitely not Haitian. It did not even have that' Haitian djon djon taste at all. & the rice was a little too black.
The goat was OK,
SECONDLY , what they called'jerk chicken' was really not that, what they served was fried chicken with a sauce on the side, which they called jerk & it was nothing like jerk sauce to be honest the sauce was terrible & I'm usually not picky with sauces. So basically the Haitian rice is not really Haitian rice. The jerk chicken is not jerk chicken so it seems like nothing is authentic in this restaurant. I'm curious to know where the chef is from. The fried chicken was tasty, but they should not call it'jerk chicken.'
This is false advertisement & misleading.

Je venais de Châteauguay pour goûter à la cuisine de chef Toussaint & franchement je ne regrette pas d'avoir fait le déplacement! J'ai goûté la chèvre accompagné de riz collé & bananes plantains & franchement du goût à la texture tout était vraiment parfait. 10/10! 🤩😋😋

Excellent portion size. Nice & juicy pieces of griot which don't have any fat attached. Very fresh plantain & pikliz. Side of accra is a great addition.

Only drawback compared to a typical casse-croûte is that they don't serve sauce with the platter.

Great quality for the price!

Needed a quick bite at the mall, pleasantly surprised by enjoying one the best dishes I've had all year. The oxtail was packed with flavour, super filling, & easy to share.

C'est plus du poulet c'est de la caille les portions sont rendues minuscules. Dommage parce que le goût est délicieux.
