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 a wonderful time here (lovely atmosphere & great service), but the food wasn't for us. Went with another couple & shared the'try everything menu'. The consensus favourite among the meat eaters was the pork (apparently very tender) & my favourite thing was the rice & beans. But I found the shrimp to be overcooked & the macaroni salad & guacamole in needed of seasoning. Admittedly, even though I am a pescatarian, I don't love shrimp (as its a bit too meaty), so I think this meat-focused cuisine is just not for me. But even my partner who eats everything & is generally easy to please agreed that the food was kind of underwhelming.
Pikliz feels like a neighbourhood restaurant with good food & great service.
On our first visit, the restaurant was full due to a big party (it's a small but comfy space). We asked Anna for a nearby recommendation & she came through with Satay Brothers, which was delicious!
We came back a few nights later, this time with a reservation, & enjoyed a really good meal. We tried a little bit of everything. The standouts for me were the hot sauce (which you can buy), pikliz, djondjon rice (wow!), banana donuts, macawoni, the mango cocktail, & griot.
Anna was a wonderful host & took great care of us! Really loved the music too.

Tasty food, fun visual identity, good vibes. I went in when the restaurant was empty. My food was ready in under five minutes, chicken was nicely seasoned, tender. The rice was perfectly cooked & the sauce was rich without being fatty or overly salty.
Can't recommend this place enough! We ordered a variety of dishes (the pate, plantains, wings, the djondjon rice, the pikliz poutine with goat) & they were all incredible. Everyone was super friendly & the vibes were great.
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.
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.
Food is amazing but bro 30$ for a scoop of rice should be a crime rice & chicken literally cost nothing I would order there everyday if they were more generous with the portions But unfortunately
the food was very tasty. inflation is a thing but there is no way you can make people pay 25 30 $ for a plate & you barily fill anything in it...yet alone rice which costs nothing to make...ive joined a picture of what a 28$ plate looks like... disappointed but the potential is there. fix your portions & it will be amazing. chicken plate was the same portions. also. mini macaroni, mini pikliz, mini plate at prices that make no sense for the size.
We stopped to grab takeout while travelling through Montreal en route to Toronto & will now be making a stop at Pikliz a tradition. The food was amazing! Glad I purchased a couple extra orders of rice to bring back with me. The griot & the goat poutine were fantastic, & the patties were so light & delicious. 10/10.
