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.
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.
I've always been curious about what people were eating whenever I passed by Atwater Market, & I finally got the chance to try it! I ordered the BBQ Chicken, which tasted quite similar to jerk chicken, & the hot sauce on top was delicious with a hint of mango. As for the patties, I tried both the codfish & beef-while the beef one was tasty, the fish one had a bit of a strong flavor. The chicken wings were average & could be skipped. The highlight of the meal was definitely the shrimp. It was perfectly coated, fried to a crispy finish, & paired with a fantastic sauce that made it absolutely irresistible. We even ended up ordering a second round of it! Overall, the portions are on the smaller side, more like tapas. Without drinks, it's about $30 per person.
Cute spot! The decor was amazing & the food was even better! I loved the rice & beans, the goat was very tender & the drink was amazing. The owner was very friendly & welcoming. Highly recommend this place 🫶🏾

Amazing Experience I recently had the pleasure of dining with my wife at Pikliz in Montreal, & it exceeded all our expectations. The staff was nothing short of amazing-attentive, friendly, & always willing to go the extra mile to ensure a great dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was packed with flavor, & you can tell they put real heart into their cooking. To top it off, the prices are very reasonable, making it a fantastic value for the quality you get.

The server & owner were very welcoming & inviting. I was there with 2 vegans: they ordered guava juice, the Accras, the Riz Djondjon (without meat sauce) & the Veggie Pikliz Bowl. I ordered the Riz Colé & gave them a portion before adding chicken sauce & aioli. I also had the Ti Bato & a glass of one of their specialty wines. Everything was wonderful, we were all full! Nice temperature inside, comfortable seating, plus the music was bumping but not so loud that we couldn't hear each other.
Super accueil, Akeem était franchement super! Paule également, super drôle & amicale. Les repas étaient généreux & savoureux (griot & petit bato), les drinks super bons, l'ambiance, la musique, la déco. On avait juste envie de rester! Merci pour l'expérience, c'était rien de moins qu'exceptionnel! Mordu & Julie
Ma soeur & moi avons adoré notre visite au Pikliz. La serveuse nous a bien accueillie. Elle était souriante & attentionnée. Malgré qu'elle était seule, elle s'occupait très bien des clients en restaurant que les commandes à emporter & on a manqué de rien. La nourriture était excellente. On a commandé les pâtés au boeuf( feuilletés à souhait), les shwamps & les accras(croustillants) & la mayonaise qui accompagnait nos entrées était délicieuse. Le macaroni était très bon aussi avec son petit croustillant sur le dessus. On a commandé le wrap pikliz au griot & il était très gouteux avec la guacamole, le pikliz & la sauce. On a aussi adoré nos drinks Ti Soley & nos desserts: le gâteau ananas qui a été servi comme on l'aime: chaud & les excellents beignets aux bananes qui fondaient en bouche. Nous serons définitivement de retour pour goûter d'autres items du menu.
Went here yesterday right before closing & the food was still extremely fresh & delicious. We ordered takeout & sat outside, but the service was pleasant & the ambiance inside seemed nice. I had the bol du griot & my friend had the shrimp wrap & we both really enjoyed our food. It's not the traditional Haitian food you'd get at a casse-croûte style restaurant or a takeout place like what I've had in the US, but I appreciated the freshness of the ingredients & that their menu still offers some traditional options. Can't wait to come back & try some more items on the menu.
