Restaurant Kamúy insuffle les saveurs ensoleillées et authentiques d'Haïti et des Caraïbes au cœur de la ville. Le menu mise sur des plats traditionnels aux notes affirmées, tels que le griot croustillant et le lambi tendre, préparés pour révéler toute la richesse des épices. Les plantains frits offrent une texture dorée et gourmande, s'accompagnant de sauces maison acidulées qui viennent relever chaque bouchée. La cuisine privilégie les mélanges d'épices complexes et les cuissons patientes qui embaument l'espace d'arômes chaleureux. En complément, la carte des cocktails propose des créations originales élaborées à partir de fruits tropicaux et d'herbes aromatiques. Les couleurs vives et les motifs culturels imprègnent le décor, créant une atmosphère à la fois dynamique et ancrée dans les racines insulaires. Chaque aspect du menu témoigne d'un lien profond avec les traditions culinaires caribéennes par le biais d'assiettes généreuses et savoureuses.
Kamúy propose une exploration riche en saveurs de la cuisine haïtienne et caribéenne, avec de nombreux convives soulignant la qualité des plats tels que le griot, le ceviche et les accras. Le restaurant est souvent décrit comme un lieu idéal pour les rencontres entre amis, les sorties en couple ou pour manger avant un spectacle au Quartier des spectacles. Si une grande majorité de visiteurs apprécie la créativité des cocktails, l'ambiance rythmée et l'hospitalité dévouée de l'équipe, certaines expériences ont été marquées par des irrégularités dans le service, le niveau sonore ou des préoccupations liées au confort des tables et à la clarté des prix. Dans l'ensemble, l'établissement demeure une destination de choix pour ceux qui recherchent des créations culinaires audacieuses et une atmosphère imprégnée de culture.
We reserved 3 weeks in advance for 8pm but they didn't have our table ready for us until 8:20. A server spilt water all over the arm of one of my friends & barely apologized. My friends ordered the fish along with a few other dishes & they never got the fish so they asked about it, no apology. So they said,'well we'd like to still try it' with a bit of grumbling by the server it seemed. When it finally came, the servers started bringing the lights up & told us they were starting to get ready to close. I ordered the griot & a spicy ginger drink & both were really nice but I don't know if I'd come back cause of the service & I really had a hard time hearing here.
The food was flavorful, comforting, & full of fresh ingredients. It used spices & herbs to create rich, bold tastes, with dishes like rice & beans, fried plantains, & marinated meats. Their meals were warm, homey, & rooted in Creole tradition. Their drinks were also interesting & unique. Will definitely recommend to friends.
Con: difficult to find parking, but is accessible via Metro & bus.
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.

We were there for the jazz fest performance at 7:30, a perfect location & we were happily surprised at the quality of the food, drinks & service as we had never been before. Every dish had its own special taste but the hummus for me was wonderfully different. Service was friendly & accommodating. I would definitely return. Thanks for a wonderful evening.
Food was exceptional as well as the drinks. But I gave 2 stars for the service. Our waiter from Haiti does not know how to read the room. First he approached our table with a joke but it came across like an insult so it set us up poorly to begin with. Then, he only spoke to my boyfriend THE ENTIRE NIGHT. We were joking amongst ourselves that our waiter was in love. There were a group of 4 of us together & the 3 of us gave up at one point & just continued chatting between us since we were obviously not of any interest to our waiter. Not to mention, I'm paying the bill for myself & my partner & leaving the tip, so I'd appreciate some decency? He did not look at me once, he took my boyfriends order first, would randomly shake his hand, talked to him the entire time, ignored all the rest of us, made weird jokes, smelled like cigarettes, recommended things twice after we said we were not interested, & he waited so long to take our order but claimed he was letting us chat while we were wondering why he was taking so long. We would all go back but we'd hope to get a different waiter.
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.
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.
Très bonne cuisine créole avec des portions généreuses. Nous avons commandé 5 plats à partager pour deux personnes & nous voulions par terre. Le seul bémol : les drinks sont chers & petits. Un coup de coeur dans tous les cas!
