Shandmas est un lieu d'expérimentations, et d’éveil qui offre de la bonne nourriture haïtienne. C’est un resto-comptoir pour emporter ou manger sur place.
Les avis sur Shandmas convergent vers une expérience haïtienne chaleureuse et savoureuse, avec des plats réconfortants comme le griot tendre et le riz collé, le plantain croustillant et des accras bien réalisés. Beaucoup saluent aussi la sélection de pâté kode et les saveurs généreuses qui rappellent Haïti, ainsi que l'ambiance conviviale et colorée et un service attentif et personnalisé. La nourriture est globalement excellente et bien préparée, avec des cocktails originaux et une atmosphère qui donne l'impression d'être en voyage, surtout grâce au décor et à l'énergie du lieu. Certains points d'attention reviennent toutefois, tels que des portions parfois jugées petites ou des prix élevés pour la taille des assiettes, ainsi que des soucis d'hygiène ponctuels et des sanitaires décrits comme sales lors d'une visite. Malgré cela, le consensus est positif et incite à revenir, notamment pour le riz djondjon le dimanche et l'esprit d'authenticité qui fait de Shandmas une des meilleures adresses haïtiennes de Montréal.

Haitian food unfortunately hasn't been in my top 5 favourite cuisines but this place?! Believe me when I say this place is excellent, from the preparation to the decor, which is filled with culture/history. Being of Caribbean heritage the space felt familiar & like home.
I've had the opportunity of tasting a variety of things on the menu, which nothing fell short of good. I occasionally pop in for a pâté kòde herring.
This restaurant is my #2 favourite Haitian spot in the city. Everything on the menu is a hit & definitely worth trying. The only downside is the price for the portion size, it's a bit on the expensive side.
This is a splendid Haitian restaurant. It is tastefully decorated to create a nice atmosphere as well as to represent Haitian culture. I ordered the creole chicken, which I was warned was very spicy. No lie was told, this was the spiciest Haitian dish I've ever had. Still highly tasty & enjoyable though. The portion of the food was good, I was definitely satisfied. The service was warm as well.
I am very surprised by all the positive reviews this restaurant has received. I went there with a friend for dinner, & we were immediately uncomfortable due to the lack of air conditioning. The service was practically non-existent, as we had to repeatedly ask for water from a server who seemed more interested in socializing with friends. The water we did receive was room temperature, & it took a long time for me to get my cocktail, which was just average. We wanted to order griot with riz collé (a staple in Haitian cuisine), but they only had riz djondjon available. The griot was OK but riz djondjon was not good & had a weird taste. We also took pâté kode as an appetizer, which was disappointing. Also, the side sauce that came with the meal looked like generic BBQ sauce, not authentic Haitian cuisine. Overall, this was one of the worst Haitian restaurants I have been to. To finish, he made a mistake on the interact machine which we signalled him. He then corrected it & entered the correct price then left while we were waiting for our receipt. After waiting for long enough we just left with no receipt. I unfortunately do not recommend & will never go back there again.
Pretty nice haitian eatery. The portions looks small but they fill you up. I take the grigot & the pork is always full of flavour with a nice crisp on the outside & moist on the inside. Definitely go there if this is your type of food. The fried stuff (forgot the name) is also really nice to eat but can get pretty heavy on the oil, wish they would give more of the macaroni salad to help with that
Impeccable Haitian food & an extraordinary atmosphere. We loved the sounds of konpa & the decorations from Haiti. The owners were amazing - & the food was definitely the best we have had outside of Haiti. The tasso kabrit (fried goat) was tender & flavorful & the poulet was cooked perfectly. Every time we are in Montreal, we will be stopping in for more!
Really good Haitian restaurant. Fairly priced. Their griot is delicious. They have an amazing list of cocktails & even their non-alcoholic options are delicious. You can always order from take out apps for those cold winter days when you just don't feel like leaving home. The Kivi was absolutely delicious too!
