At Piklìz, our mission is to bring Caribbean flavors to you with love and authenticity. 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.
Pikliz consistently earns high praise for its authentic Haitian flavors, with the griot, djondjon rice, pikliz bowls, and other dishes delivering bold seasoning, tender meat, and satisfying portions for many diners, while the warm, welcoming service and cozy, inviting ambiance make the experience feel like a neighborhood spot even when crowded; most reviewers call it a standout in Montreal's Haitian scene and say they would return, though a few note small portions for the price, occasional dryness or overcooked items, and some nights when the noise level or service pace isn't ideal.
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.
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
