We enjoyed the restaurant, the vibe, the staff, & drinks/food. Unfortunately, there was a long delay in our main courses, so I have to withhold a star.

Food & ambiance were great. Service was good but it forever to get our drinks, not just once but twice. Not sure what the problem was.

This is a bittersweet review. The food was amazing: originality, creativity & taste . Really, hats off to the owner & the whole kitchen team. The pork in the griot was OUT OF THIS WORLD. It was the perfect balance of crunchy on the outside yet so juicy on the inside. & as as someone who usually never touches the side cabbage salad, I have eaten all of the pikliz that was served. It married so well with the fattiness of the pork because of the beautiful balance of flavors & texture (sour, spicy & crunchy). Me & my partner have enjoyed their Dumbrey as well. The lobster dish was decent although there was more lobster shell than there was lobster meat (approximately two tiny lobster meat pieces of not even 1cm of width & 3-4cm of length, which can be understood as lobster prices are usually high). The lobster did taste fresh & we enjoyed the grains underneath (possibly riz collé?). The drinks were decent & the moelleux au chocolat had the perfect sweetness. I found that the rum taste was too strong in the rum dessert & the cinnamon (or other spices) taste in the pain patate too strong (may differ based on personal preferences). Now, my problem is with the service we have received. I have worked more than 4 years part-time in Montreal restaurants as a student so I can confidently say that I know what I am talking about. Usually, waiters make the first contact within 10 minutes (GROS MAX). We spent more than 30 minutes waiting for a first contact with a waiter. We saw the waiters talk amongst themselves as they seemed to be unsure of who had our table. Our waiter ended up coming after 35-40 minutes of waiting. His name is Jonathan & I have seen him dancing to the music next to the bar while we were waiting & taking shots with a group of girls right next to us. I would have been understanding if the waiter was busy, but from we have observed, he was not. He had 3 small initial contacts with us: 1st for small talk & to inform us that he will be bringing water to us, 2nd was to ask us what we wanted to order for drinks, 3rd was to ask us what we wanted to order for food. On both 1st & 2nd times, Jonathan quickly left when we were starting to tell him we were ready to order drinks & food. Most of the times, he would leave to the table with the group of girls to take shooters & chat with them. On the 3rd time he came around, we had waited for at least 45 minutes, close to 1 hour. When we had told him we were ready to order, he replied with "déjà?". My partner & I looked at each other puzzled because we had been ready 15 minutes after reading the menu & it had been more than 45 minutes since we were placed at the table. Later, the busboy had mixed up our desserts & that was the only time Jonathan apologized for a mistake (that was not even his own). He never took accountability for his own mistakes or for taking more than 30 minutes to establish his first contact with us. Instead, he seemed to be almost oblivious to everything. He was always fake smiling & ingenuine in his small talk. I am not sure if it is because he was too intoxicated, but he seemed to have lost the concept of time & appeared a bit lost. As I used to work in restaurants as a student, I know the struggle of most restaurant workers, which is why I typically give a tip of 18% if the service met my minimal standards (reasonable waiting time, politeness, respectful, & no need to fake any smiles or force small talk) & go higher if the service was amazing through the roof. However, this time, my partner & I only gave 15% & that was because the food was SO good. I even jokingly said to my partner; can we tip at least 20% to all staff in the restaurant except our waiter? All in all, food was great, the pork in the griot is the biggest star on the menu. Desserts & drinks are okay. Ambiance is nice although a tad bit too loud for my grandma personality. Service: probably good with the other waiters or if Jonathan worked sobe

Des recommandations adaptées à nos goûts, d'excellents cocktails & un service attentionné. On a adoré les fraitay, le griot & la ceviche.

We went to Kamuy during Grand Prix weekend with 30,000 people in the plaza next to the restaurant & the staff made us feel like we were the only ones in there. Excellent food, excellent dessert, & great drinks. Try the rum cake!
