Reviews portray Piklìz as a warm, intimate spot with attentive service and a vibe that blends Haitian hospitality with a cozy Montreal atmosphere.

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.
L'atmosphère du restaurant & la décoration sont vraiment beaux. Le service était bien, les employés étaient amicaux. La fin du service était un peu sec & rapide, mais on était vraiment resté très longtemps dans le restaurant à jaser entre amies. Pour la nourriture, elle était correct. C'est une très belle découverte pour les personnes qui ne sont pas familières avec la nourriture haïtienne. Cependant, le gout n'était pas exceptionnel & certain plats à côté étaient trop cher pour sa quantité par exemple, les bananes pezés qui en plus étaient beaucoup trop cuites à mon gout. Cependant, je recommande le resto à tous ceux qui veulent découvrir la cuisine haïtienne.
Such a full experience in every way. Amazing, tender wonderfully seasoned tasteful pork, & chicken! The rice...you gotta have the rice, the plantain chips & the fresh guacamole (with a light integrated sprinkling of lemon)...& be sure to save room for the pineapple upside down cake! A small & buzzing atmosphere. I will be back!!🎉😊

Overall, the taste & flavour were decent, the meat was a bit dried & every side food usually within the dish costed extra when included in most places. The dish (griyo) only had the meat & the pikliz. Be aware that plantin, ricole, salad, macaroni is sold & charged separately so food is overpriced. My kid loves griyo but definitely prefers to go to our usual griyo place from now on. Please note that any restaurant should know that not only the food or taste matters but the whole experience from entering the business (welcoming, friendliness, atmosphere, clean space, waiting,etc) to the end.
The food was A+ . It was made to order so everything was hot, fresh, & tasty 👅. The drinks 🍹 were good - & the shots got us right. Now, let me tell y’all something - those women in the back probably married/wife’s up because they put their foot in the lamb & rice. That rice was moist & chicken was seasoned perfect. Add the side of sauce , it babbbyyy my belly & heart left happy & fulfilled 😂😂😂.
Akim (restaurant owner) was there & he provided exceptional customer service to all patrons. I loved the restaurants ambiance. It gave what it was supposed to give. 💐 to Akim & his team. Instagram/tick tock users the restaurant has lots of backgrounds for photos 😜 . Go support this black owned business.
Excellent en tout point... Est-ce qu'on peut s'avancer & dire que c'est le meilleur repas / restaurant (globalement parlant) de nourriture antillaise à Montréal... Une tuerie! J'ai des plats à emporter dont je rêve déjà pour ce midi ;-) Continuez votre exellent travail...
I had the most amazing time at Pikliz, a small Haitian spot in St-Henry. It's like they airlifted a piece of the Caribbean right into the city! The vibes, decor, & those mouthwatering smells totally set the scene.
The service was top-notch, & the staff were super friendly. Akim, the owner, personally checked on every table, making the whole experience feel extra special. We went there to celebrate a birthday, & they treated us like kings & queens.
Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered the Griot, & let me tell you, it was off the charts. So juicy, tender, & bursting with flavor. & then there's the Kabrit, the goat dish. It was hands down the best goat I've ever had in my life. To finish off the feast, we had the pineapple cake, & I'm still dreaming about it.
If you're in Montreal & craving some legit Haitian eats, Pikliz is the spot to hit. It's the perfect combo of awesome food, chill vibes, & friendly service that'll make your night unforgettable.
Literally the best service & the best food. I had the griot, rice, plantain & shrimp. The shrimp were my favourite! The lemonade was fantastic & the girls working offered excellent custom service. Perfect family owned restaurant - tables were set nice & a great breeze!

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.
Le service était vraiment agréable, la déco & la musique sont originale & ça rend l'expérience incroyable.
Le riz collé c'était mon coup de coeur je recommande
Delicious food at a reasonable price, loved the DJ there too. It’s a small place but didn’t feel cramped; it feels very intimate. The poulet frit & riz colé were delicious. Definitely will be back!
I'm all about value. & this restaurant is absolute value. Very decent prices for excellent quality food. The guy, the cash & the waiters are also super friendly. Highly recommended.
Very cute & quaint restaurant. Owner greeted us with a smile & a story, we ordered multiple appetizers, goat plate & grio poutine. Everything was delicious. The owner suggested we try the pear soda & grapefruit soda which were both excellent . The service was exceptional. We will definitely go back.
Food is really good! But i really don't think the prices are worth the portion sizes. I basically got a kids portion for 23$. Higher end restaurants even have bigger portions
I’m a true Haitian so I always try to find spots that has good Haitian food. Pikliz definitely hit the spot! Their kabrit is amazing. 10/10 recommend! Also we’re from Edmonton so I was really happy to find that place
