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.
Wow, what a treat! The food was absolutely delicious & the staff were so warm & welcoming. You can tell they really care about what they do. Every dish had so much flavor & was really perfect for sharing. Can't wait to come back & try more from the menu!
The griot was super flavorful & had such a good texture to it! The vibe of the restaurant was super cute & our server was very sweet. Would highly recommend stopping!!!

Tasty food, fun visual identity, good vibes. I went in when the restaurant was empty. My food was ready in under five minutes, chicken was nicely seasoned, tender. The rice was perfectly cooked & the sauce was rich without being fatty or overly salty.
Can't recommend this place enough! We ordered a variety of dishes (the pate, plantains, wings, the djondjon rice, the pikliz poutine with goat) & they were all incredible. Everyone was super friendly & the vibes were great.
Amazing meal & experience here! Food was exceptionally well seasoned, crafted. Anna provided beyond attentive service while making everyone in the restaurant feel seen. Running the whole show, she provided background on the establishment, delivered conversation with warmth & offered the best of the cuisine with a smile. All of this together made this restaurant my favorite in Montreal.
Haitian know good food - & this spot really hit the mark. It's a small but lively place full of good energy. The griot was tender, the acras perfectly crispy & flavorful, & the bowls were generous & filling. The cocktail list was fun, with drinks named after Port-au-Prince neighborhoods & cities. Chef Mike is great, but Anna truly made the whole experience special.
If I had one small note, it would be the beignets - they leaned more toward a donut texture than a traditional marinade. Other than that, everything was on point. We went as a group & everyone loved their dish. I'll definitely be back!
Pikliz made me sikliz. Been here a few times. Super small seating area. Lived up to the hype for a while but dropped way off as soon as they opened the new bar in Mile End. Had me running the last mile home before it was coming out both ends.

Visiting from out of town, this was suppose to be the highlight of our trip. Unfortunately, my guests & I were left disappointed.
Let's start off with the positive, the cocktails were definitely on point! We were all wowed by our selections. The server was amazing, & very attentive.
The food however just did not make the mark. All of the meats with exception of the griyo lacked flavour. From my experience Haitian food is filled with savory tastes. The rice had the right colour's, but definitely needed salt, & a little more finesse with the essence. The food may have followed the process to make it, but it was lacking soul. Are Haitians even cooking the meal?
Safe to say, we probably won't be revisiting anytime soon.
super bon, mais beaucoup trop chere pour un resto haitien. extra sauce & pikliz pour 28$ sans le tips. c'est bon comme experience, mais pour du soulfood a 30$ avec des petite assiettes comme cela, c'est ordinaire. aussi bien aller au petit sud a st-michel pour 20$ tu as le double de la portions, plus de plaintain plus de viande. la seule difference est la tendreter de la viande. mais super bon quand meme.
Belle ambiance, j'ai amené ma mère souper pour son anniversaire de ses 54 ans & elle a adoré autant l'endroit que votre nourriture! Je recommande & long succès à vous
Wow! Le meilleur restaurant Haïtien jusqu'à maintenant. Leur griot était le plus tendre jamais goûté. C'est simple, tous les plats & breuvages étaient délicieux. Ce fut un gros coup de coeur, nous y reviendrons.
