With great respect for this inspiring cultural heritage, we honor it while creatively crafting our menu and working with only the freshest, highest quality foods. We believe that these culinary journeys will contribute to your happiness, one meal at a time.
Reviews portray Piklìz as a warm, intimate spot with attentive service and a vibe that blends Haitian hospitality with a cozy Montreal atmosphere. Dishes such as griot, djondjon rice, pikliz, plantains, and the creole macaroni salad draw frequent praise for bold, well balanced seasoning and tender textures, while banana donuts, accras, and the signature griot poutine are highlighted by several guests. The decor, music, and menu feel like a love letter to Haiti, and drinks and cocktails add a lively touch, with staff going the extra mile to ensure a friendly experience. Many diners say they would return, and some even use it for celebrations or as a go to Haitian option in the city, though a few reviews point out small portions for the price, occasional inconsistency in flavor or execution, and days when meals did not meet expectations. Overall, Piklìz is seen as a strong, memorable choice for Haitian cuisine in Montreal and worth another visit.
Pikliz feels like a neighbourhood restaurant with good food & great service.
On our first visit, the restaurant was full due to a big party (it's a small but comfy space). We asked Anna for a nearby recommendation & she came through with Satay Brothers, which was delicious!
We came back a few nights later, this time with a reservation, & enjoyed a really good meal. We tried a little bit of everything. The standouts for me were the hot sauce (which you can buy), pikliz, djondjon rice (wow!), banana donuts, macawoni, the mango cocktail, & griot.
Anna was a wonderful host & took great care of us! Really loved the music too.
The food was great! Excellent place to go as a large group (with a reservation). Very nice selection of drinks as well. Everything was tasty, but the goat was next level. I think I'm going back today to get more.
The music was a bit loud, but it was a Saturday night, so might not always be like this.

Good job l équipe good job. Merci pour le bon service 😀
definitely one of my favorite Haitian restaurants in the city. If you wanna eat from the youth with mama's hands. The vibes are great, music is amazing.
The server & owner were very welcoming & inviting. I was there with 2 vegans: they ordered guava juice, the Accras, the Riz Djondjon (without meat sauce) & the Veggie Pikliz Bowl. I ordered the Riz Colé & gave them a portion before adding chicken sauce & aioli. I also had the Ti Bato & a glass of one of their specialty wines. Everything was wonderful, we were all full! Nice temperature inside, comfortable seating, plus the music was bumping but not so loud that we couldn't hear each other.
Very good little restaurant. The griot melts in your mouth. The shrimps were so flavourful. The aioli sauce they give with the fries was so tasty. Service was great! Music & ambience were really great. It's loud when you first walk in, & it seems cramped because it's such a small place, but once you're seated, the tables have ample space to be comfortable & have a wide variety of plates. Didn't understand why we weren't allowed to buy a Jarritos without buying a taco, but that's just a detail. We like water anyways, which they give you a nice cold bottle of upon arrival. Will definitely return!
Celebrated my bday with friends & family. Absolutely loved this restaurant its small & cozy. The service is excellent the food was delicious The shrimps & the cabrit where my favorite. Theres a Dj on Saturdays the beats & music was so good. I truly recommend. The waitresses & owner where so kind. Je me suis beaucoup amusé !

My date was suffering cramps throughout the day, but the food was so good it miraculously cured her! Coupled with a beautiful atmosphere celebrating Haitian culture, from decor to music, & a staff who are polite, thoughtful, & able to crack jokes comfortably, this is a place to remember & return to.
My only regret about this place is that I didn’t sit down to eat (got take out). It’s a small, cozy place that is well arranged so that couples & groups can fit comfortably. Decor is really nice, music is great but not too loud. The food, by the way, was REALLY good. Takeout portions were enough for 2 people to eat until full for 2 days. Could have easily stretched it to 3 if we wanted. Very tasty. Best of all was the customer service, & that’s saying a lot, because I only got take out. They took the time to ask me my name (order had only a number, no reference to my name) so that they could write it on the bag for me & call me by my name instead of a number. They were very friendly & seemed to be intuitively attentive to the needs of their patrons. Go ahead & see for yourself. I can’t wait to go back already.
