Au goût tropical

Opens Tomorrow at 11 am

(17)

Tétreaultville-Mercier-Est, Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve

Caribbean Grill Salads

Review Summary

Reviews describe Au goût tropical as delicious Haitian cuisine with standout griot, pikliz, and plantains, praising flavorful dishes like the Rio Rio pickle, a warm ambiance, and friendly service, with many saying they will return to try more of the menu. Not the best for everyone, but it remains among the top Haitian options for many. The staff are described as friendly and the overall vibe as welcoming. Several reviewers mention plans to come back multiple times to explore the full menu. One Uber Eats order is noted where a griot arrived in a kid's portion with barely any rice and dry meat, and when contacted about it the response was that Uber Eats portions differ from dine-in, making that the last visit. Taken together, the tone is positive overall with a caveat about delivery portions.View restaurant profile

Anjou-St-Léonard

Haitian

Review Summary

La Fraicheur Tropicale stands out as a beautiful spot in the east of the city for authentic Haitian cuisine. A griot plate is described as excellent, with meat well seasoned, tender inside and with a nice texture. The rice is really good, flavorful and well prepared. The overall meal is generous and satisfying. The service is warm and professional, and guests feel welcomed from the moment of entry, which makes a noticeable difference. A very good option in east Montreal for a quality griot. The best rice and vegetables ever eaten, without exaggeration, full of flavor, tender and fresh. Some reviews seem to make little sense, but this place is among the best in the city. Truly delicious with excellent service and products.View restaurant profile

Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve

Haitian

Review Summary

Reviews of La Fraicheur Tropicale describe attentive service and food that often feels like a comforting taste of home, with meat that is tender and portions that are generous, making many say the dish is perfect and that this spot is a source of pride; the griot with white rice and macaroni salad is repeatedly highlighted as flavorful and fresh, and the sticky rice and other components are frequently praised, though some menu items remain untried. At the same time, prices are called exorbitant and some reviewers note that the combo pricing and added charges for drinks push value concerns, with one order delivering the wrong meat, chicken requested but pork served, and another dish not impressing despite a large portion. Delivery is common and results are described as consistently delicious, but there is an undercurrent of mixed experiences and a few caveats about accuracy and affordability.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviews of Mango Tropical describe a bright, inviting spot where fresh mango features prominently in smoothies, elotes, salads and desserts, and the atmosphere is colorful and welcoming. The service is frequently praised as friendly and efficient, with staff going the extra mile and visits often feeling quick and enjoyable. The food is often described as fresh, flavorful and well presented, with mango dishes and nachos highlighted as favorites by many; smoothies are beloved by some, though a mango smoothie can be perceived as bland on occasion. However, there are drawbacks noted, such as missing toppings on crepes, too much mayonnaise on esquite, and meat that could use more seasoning.

All in all, Mango Tropical emerges as a mango-forward destination with a lively vibe and many positive moments, tempered by occasional inconsistencies that can vary by visit.View restaurant profile
