We made a reservation an hour before for 10pm, surprisingly the kitchen was still open & they were very accommodating. We ordered four entrees & four drinks respectively. I got the jerk chicken with wild rice & a creole spritz, & I don't know if it was the fatigue from the day or eating dinner at an ungodly hour, but that was probably the best jerk chicken I've ever had. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, & the sauce exquisite. I also thoroughly enjoyed the spritz. For the quality & the quantity, it was certainly worth the price. Would recommend if you're ever in Montreal.
Amazing Carribean food. Would recommend the Jerk Chicken, Conch, & Pork Griot with fried plantains. Memorable taste, & well executed. One very minor point was that its not easy to eat: the utensils are a bit small, & we ended up mixing food from one plate with the sauces or garnishes from another, & the jerk sauce was very salted so that dictates how much you should add... but ee figured it out & had an amaxing meal. The mocktaila were also well made.
I would recommend the most: get the conch as an entree to share.
The food here is very good. We tried the Griot, hummus, pintarde (guinea fowl) & spicy jerk chicken & all of them were extremely flavourful & unique. The spicy jerk chicken is actually spicy which I appreciated as well! I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area or as a place to go before a show at Place des Arts.
While the food was great I do have a couple of critiques: The cocktail menu while pretty extensive was very expensive & there was only one beer available (Corona), & the tables were not very good. Wobbly & the kind you'd find at a cheap breakfast restaurant or something of that nature.
None of these things really hindered the dining experience & like I said the food was amazing, but if there's anything to improve it'd be these.

Some of our food was good, some was not great.
Atmosphere is cramped & loud, there were flies flying around inside the restaurant. It's a nice spot & a nice place, just felt like they could improve here. The servers were nice, but they were very slow, they checked on us once to see if we liked the food, but then never came back to bring us more water or to see if we wanted dessert or anything.
We had the Tomato salad, Ceviche, Fried chicken, Jerk Chicken, Griot & Grilled fish as well as 5 cocktails.
The fried chicken was delicious, the Griot was some of the best in Montreal, but the jerk chicken was horribly dry, the chicken was TINY, it felt like I was eating quail.
The Jerk chicken is 25$ on the menu, but after getting home & looking at my receipt, they charged us 32$ per portion (we ordered two portions to share).
The grilled fish was supposed to be 40$, they charged us 45$.
We were also charged 2$ more per drink than what was priced on the menu.
The bill for 4 people ended up over 325$ (before tip) with 5 drinks, a bottle of soda water, 4 appetizers & 3 mains.
For the price, the experience we had was not worth it.
I was disappointed with the food at this restaurant. I ordered the chicken, but it turned out to be a small, bony bird that was clearly reheated - part of the meat was even cool. It felt overpriced for what I got. I also specifically asked for my food not to be spicy, but the rice that came with the dish was spicy enough to make me sweat - definitely not what I expected. I wanted to order a beer, but they were out, & the server offered me a cocktail'similar to beer.' Unfortunately, it was just rum with soda & lime, & I didn't enjoy it at all. That one's partly my fault for not asking what was in it, but overall the experience was underwhelming.
This is a little gem you must try. It might look like a tourist trap but it is not. The food is delicious, generous, colorful, flavorful & you need to try their cocktails!
In the heart of place-des-arts, right before (or after) a show, it is a great option.
Last time, we went for only three plates for two & we had plenty! Get the accras; the plate is to share & so generous with 10 variations. Delicious. The half jerk chicken is a classic for a reason (get it spicy!) & we enjoyed the griot.
Every time I try something different & never been disappointed.
Pan-Carribean food met my high expectations & standards. Ceviche, GRIOT & the jerk chicken were wonderful. The server was accommodating, informational & dynamic enough for you to trust his judgement. Overall, a great experience. Will be back for more.
What a unique culinary experience of an underrepresented cuisine - modern Caribbean. Delicious & wonderfully spiced dishes. We had the hummus, shrimp & braised pork to start, absolutely delicious, the pork was so tender & paired very well with the plantain fritters & vinegar coleslaw. Mains consisted of vegetable curry, jerk chicken & the lamb shank, all seasoned to perfection & comforting, I really felt the love. Do yourself a favour & order the sweet potato dessert, a mix between pumpkin pie & spice cake, perfect for fall & winter. Coffee with coconut milk & rum is a must. Friendly, courteous & quick service in a cozy & homey atmosphere, music not too loud (this is a pet peeve of mine & this place absolutely passed the test). Even though the restaurant was full, there was a nice calm vibe throughout the entire service. The owner came to our table & chatted with us which is always a nice touch, definitely recommend for an intimate dinning expérience.
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 ;)
Came here on a Friday night. Ordered the jerk chicken & Haitian lambi. Our food took almost an hour to come out, however the staff were very kind. Jerk chicken was a let down-$28 for salty chicken. It didn't have any jerk flavour at all & the rice was too overpowering. The Haitian lambi was amazing though. I've never had Haitian food before but it was so good, so flavourful. Just wish the portions were bigger for the price.
