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.
Le meilleur griyo en ville !! L'ambiance est chaleureuse & amicale , le staff est super sympathique je recommande à 100% & je me suis fais informer qu'il ouvre un autre restaurant bar dans Mile End hâte de découvrir ça!!!!
Haitian food is a specialty of Montreal. Besides the north, Haitian restaurants are sparsely peppered around the map, making this place the Haitian gem of St. Henri. Most Haitian restaurants I've dined at are pretty casual & don't have very impressive interiors. This place was an exception to this trend, although it was not a grand space it was decorated with love & had a nice atmosphere. The service was very professional. I really enjoyed my griot & the'makawoni' salad was some of the creamiest macaroni salad I've ever had. But my eyes wouldn't leave my friend's bowl - I really should have opted for that. We tried an appetizer as well that I don't recall the name of (short name, two words) that resembled a Haitian tostada. While the food was satisfying, this does not make it to my Top 3 among the Haitian restaurants I've tried in Montreal so far, some of the hole-in-the wall joints outshone Pikliz. But this is purely comparative, Pikliz is a very enjoyable experience overall especially for those less familiar with Haitian cuisine & would like to get acquainted.
Absolutely loved this place!
The food was delicious, fresh, & beautifully presented. The staff was friendly, attentive, & made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was cozy & inviting - perfect for a relaxing meal. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food & a wonderful experience. Will definitely be coming back!
Je suis canadien & fan de la nourriture haïtienne & spécialement fan du griot & le riz djondjon. Pikliz est l'une des seul place que j'avais jamais asseyez
Pour ma part j'ai prit un plat griot avec riz djondjon & une poutine au griot
Quantité/prix je trouve que les quantités sont très petite les plantain doivent êtres prit en extra, le griot j'avais 4 morceau grandeur normal & la sauce & macaroni très petit
Le goût du griot & du riz est correct mais j'ai l'impression que sa n'a pas été cuisiner de façon haïtienne ça goûte la nourriture de blanc comme certain peuvent dire Manque d'épice ect. Pour le pikliz & la sauce je suis très déçu surtout la sauce qui goûte le saint Hubert les plantain rien a dire bien fait pour la poutine 5/10
A la fin de la journée les goût ne se discute pas ceci est mon avis personnel a moi & je dit a tout le monde qu'il ne faut pas toujours ce fier au review parfois il faut juste asseyez
Casse croute sisi & paul est toujours dans mon top 1 de très loin
Ordered via Door Dash & wow, the food is crazy good! Griot was tender, the djondjon rice was flavourful & I love their hibiscus & lemonade drink. Yes, the size of the plates might be a bit smaller compared to typical haitian restaurants, but you still get a good quantity of food that has great quality! I will definitely visit & order from this place again & again.
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.

The food was acceptable but nothing more. I had much better creole food. I'm surprised given the great reviews in general, maybe that was an off day. I might try it again.
Had a fantastic time visiting this restaurant. Very friendly & welcoming environment. It was fun to try some different food that was recommended to us. Highly recommend.
