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.

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.

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.

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
