About

Restaurant Piklìz serves authentic Haitian cuisine anchored by the vibrant heat of traditional scotch bonnet pepper condiments. The menu showcases classic island staples including crispy griot, tender oxtail, and expertly seasoned red snapper served alongside aromatic rice and beans. Plantains are prepared to a perfect golden crisp, providing a structural counterpoint to the rich, slow-cooked meat profiles defined by complex marinade blends. Fresh citrus notes and bold spices dominate each dish, emphasizing deep Caribbean flavor profiles crafted from high-quality ingredients. The interior environment remains straightforward and functional, keeping the focus entirely on the culinary output and the bold intensity of the regional seasonings. Diners experience an unapologetic exploration of Haitian culinary techniques through hearty portions that reflect the genuine spirit of traditional Caribbean comfort cooking.

The service was truly exceptional, & the atmosphere was great. The decor was really nice, & most importantly, the griot was amazing! Since it's Haitian food, I have to highlight the griot-it was so tender & not dry at all. I ordered a griot poutine, & it was absolutely delicious. Overall, a great experience!

Overlooked Haitian cuisine place. I was surprised how tasty the dishes were! I went on a Wednesday night, so they were missing some of the menu items. Shrimps 10/10. Overall great experience, from food to service & atmosphere.

Came all the way from Boston to visit the city of Montreal & came across this place. being Hatian, i held high expectation to the food, & this place lived up to it, the food was bomb & the people working there was amazing, got a chance to connect with the owner, & he was a stand up guy & was super cool to connect with, thanks for a great experience.

We were visiting Montreal on holidays & went for a dinner. Pikliz was one of the best meals of our trip. The goat was amazing, the accras were so light & delicious & the rice djondjon was the prefect accompaniment. The staff were all so welcoming & we have wonderful conversations with everyone we dealt with. It's a great family restaurant that feels like going over to your friend's house for dinner, assuming your friend is also an amazing cook. We can't wait to go back next time we're in Montreal!

The food was absolutely delicious but the portions are far from what is expected from Haitian take out. I got the riz Djion-Djion as an extra for 10 dollars & the portion filled up the container. 15$ chicken for what seem to be half a chicken leg ( 7 tiny pieces). Overall excellent but overpriced for the portions. I probably won't be ordering from this place again.
