Restaurant Piklìz propose une cuisine haïtienne authentique ancrée dans le piquant vibrant des condiments traditionnels à base de piment scotch bonnet. Le menu met en valeur des classiques insulaires incluant le griot croustillant, la queue de bœuf tendre et le vivaneau rouge parfaitement assaisonné accompagnés de riz et haricots aromatiques. Les bananes plantains sont préparées avec un croustillant doré parfait, offrant un contraste structurel aux profils de viande riches et mijotés, définis par des mélanges de marinades complexes. Des notes d'agrumes frais et des épices audacieuses dominent chaque plat, soulignant les profils de saveurs caribéennes profonds élaborés à partir d'ingrédients de haute qualité. L'environnement intérieur demeure simple et fonctionnel, maintenant l'accent entièrement sur la production culinaire et l'intensité audacieuse des assaisonnements régionaux. Les convives découvrent une exploration assumée des techniques culinaires haïtiennes à travers des portions généreuses reflétant l'esprit authentique de la cuisine réconfortante caribéenne.
Restaurant Piklìz est largement reconnu pour son atmosphère chaleureuse et intime ainsi que pour son service accueillant qui met les visiteurs à l'aise. De nombreux clients louent les saveurs authentiques, soulignant la tendreté du griot, la qualité du riz et l'originalité des cocktails. Bien que la majorité des convives apprécient l'ambiance unique et le décor soigné, certains commentaires mentionnent des préoccupations concernant les prix, la taille des portions et des irrégularités occasionnelles dans l'assaisonnement ou la rapidité du service. Dans l'ensemble, l'établissement est fréquemment décrit comme une destination prisée pour découvrir une interprétation moderne de la cuisine haïtienne dans un cadre vivant.
Had to drop some honest feedback: as a Haitian, Pikliz wasn't always my go?to when I needed that'back home' feeling. But last night… WOW. They nailed it. The service was warm & friendly, the atmosphere was lively, & everything tasted amazing. From the Hibiscus shots & lemonade to the accras, everything hit the spot. Then the mains came out: my fried chicken, djon djon rice, salad, & plantains were perfectly seasoned & so tasty. I'm actually excited to finish the rest today 😋
The BEST Haitian 🇭🇹 food in Montreal sorry not sorry 😁 best service, you will be treated like family & you will absolutely catch a vibe & maybe even make a friend! Now do yourself a favour, stop reading reviews & PULL UP immediately!!!
As soon as I saw griot poutine on the menu, I knew I had to try this place! Loved how cozy & intimate Piklìz is. The servers are also amazing & gave us some great recommendations. Some of our standout faves were the kabrit & the griot poutine. The diri djon djon is also a must!! Definitely check this place out if you're interested in trying Haitian cuisine & are in the Montreal area.

Best Haitian Food in town, all the plates are worth trying you won't be disappointed! The place is clean, the portions are great, the food is so delicious. I'm definitely coming back with my whole family.
Not really happy with my visit, it was the first time I've ever came here & for so
e reason my food took 50 min to arrive. I feel like there's way better haitian food in Montreal, especially for their prices.
During my planned trip to Montreal, I had this restaurant on my bucket list, & it did not disappoint! Unfortunately, I live in a state where there are no Haitian restaurants, & having grown up in a city where accessing Haitian food was never an issue, I was really excited to visit this place. I'm so happy to say that it exceeded my expectations!
The decor, the photos, & the menu all clearly showcase that this restaurant is a love letter to Haiti.
To the owner, chef & staff, thank you for creating this amazing spot! I can't wait to return!
Went there for lunch on a Friday & it was quite quiet & comfortable. The restaurant was small & intimate & we ordered a Malta Creole, a ceviche, the chicken wings, some taco-like dish & a special Haitian version of Mac & cheese. Everything tasted delicious & we were pleasantly surprised.
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!
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.
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.
