We tried this restaurant for MTLàTable. Everything was great at first including the first course. We had to wait a long time to receive our mains only for them to arrive warm. That said, the taste of the lamb was good. I had initially ordered a bottle of sparkling water but I only received it when asked again for it. Same thing for my friends glass of wine. Finally we had to wait so long to receive the dessert because they made a mistake in the kitchen & even longer to receive our bill. I had to wave down another waiter to ask for our bill. The atmosphere is very cozy but a little too warm & dark. You can't really see what you're eating if you go for a later reservation. Overall, during the first course I was thinking to myself that I would definitely come back. Unfortunately, at the end of the night my thoughts weren't the same.
I ate at Kamuy during Mtl a table. The food was amazing. The portions are very generous. I took home a doggy bag. The staff were friendly. We will definitely return.

We tried this place for Mtlatable & the location is unique & off the main part of the street. The ambiance is very nice however a little hard to see menu as it was very dark inside with only one small candle on the table. The servers are nice & the chef was also present to make sure customers were enjoying their experience. We ordered from the 50$ menu which had a 3 course meal, appetizer, main & dessert. The appetizer I had was the jerk shrimp, I didn't taste the jerk & cabbage was a little undercooked. The main course I had lamb stew but as you can see from the picture it was quite raw & I did not enjoy at all. I was offered another main in its place. The dessert was basic but good, reminded me of an undercooked brownie. I did enjoy the place but I don't think I would go back.
Pour le service Je suis habituée à fréquenter ce restaurant où la nourriture est toujours excellente & l'ambiance agréable. Cependant, le 2 novembre 2024, j'ai vécu une expérience décevante avec l'équipe en place. Dès 5h45 ce jour-là, j'ai tenté de joindre le restaurant par téléphone jusqu'à 6h45, mais la ligne était soit occupée, soit elle sonnait sans réponse. En arrivant sur place, j'ai réessayé d'appeler, & bien que la ligne sonnait, le téléphone du restaurant ne retentissait pas. Lorsque j'ai fait part de ce problème à un employé, il m'a simplement répondu qu'il n'était pas assigné au téléphone. Ensuite, le service, habituellement très satisfaisant, a laissé à désirer. Un des employés, en particulier, était arrogant & sur la défensive, ce qui a fortement déplu à ma mère & notre invite qui venait d un autre pays . Ce n'était pas la première fois que je remarquais ce type de comportement dans ce restaurant de la part de cet employe en particulier De plus, lors du service, plusieurs erreurs ont été faites, notamment l'oubli de mon riz & de la sauce. Je préfère ne pas entrer dans les détails de l'échange que nous avons eu avec cet employé, mais cette expérience m'a vraiment déçue. J'apprécie beaucoup ce restaurant, mais l'équipe actuelle ne reflète pas la qualité habituelle du service.
I am probably going to spell it wrong, but the "griot" was amazingly good. It's one meal I like to eat from time to time & this one was amazing. Tender & crispy outside. Corosol juice is a noce discovery & a Chef's Paul Sour is just sour enough with a nice rhum touch. The jerk chicken will satisfy most people who loves spiced food like me. The chef Paul Toussaint came himself to our table to ask avout our experience. I can only recommend this place! We will go again ;)
2024: got the accras, tamales, & the jambalaya djeon djeon. Everything was delicious. Creole espresso martini was good but nothing special. 2022: Got the Dombrey sweet potato dumplings with octopus & coconut sauce, & the Daisi des Caraïbes to drink. Both were absolutely perfect. I just really wish they'd put more effort into drink presentation as it was just served in a black cup. Also paper towels to dry your hands in the washroom was literally just a brown roll on a ledge. Considering the price, I feel like those are easy things to improve.
Resto très décevant, pas d'éclairage en terrasse le soir, entrée & plats servis quasi simultanément, poulet jerk très banal .... pour moi, un attrape touristes dans le quartier des hôtels de Montréal....

Great friendly service with interesting tasty food. Servings are big enough to fill you up but not so big as to throw half of it away. Prices very reasonable, very well worth a visit.... or two. Highly recommended.
Food was spot on. Very clean non greasy. The pork was on point & the fact I got to have a Canadian dish in Pountine with a Haitian twist was an awesome experience. The drinks were nice & strong something Montreal lacks when it comes to booze. The staff was nothing but nice to my wife & young daughter. Thanks for the memories.

Kamúy; Endroit très sympathique dans un édifice style conteneur avec terrasse. Bien situé. Malgré l'abondance de saveur proposées, cela reste légèrement "fade" pour les attentes. Portion plus que généreuse à prix abordable.
An unforgettable evening from the food to the service. We had an assortment of incredible appetizers, entrees & desserts; it was difficult to choose a favourite since everything was delicious. The staff is kind & attentive & the entire experience was fantastic. Thank you!
