Et tous ceux ayant une grand-mère ou un grand-père faisant des "hmmm hmm" en mangeant, je vous garantit que vous allez tout comprendre et faire de même avec Koupé Dwet! Le seul hic, avec pandémie, ils n'ont pas toujours tout au menu donc demandez ce qu'ils ont aujourd'hui! Still 5 stars!!!!

We wanted to make sure we experienced the best food this city had to offer and after doing an extensive social media search, I found this small, off-the-beaten path eatery in the St. Henri neighborhood of Montreal. What a great choice!! We arrived right on time for our 7pm reservation and the place was already packed. We were immediately seated and took in the electric vibe, bangin' music and cool-ass artwork. The smells emanating from the kitchen had us ready to pig out...and that we did! Everything on the menu looked so good we had trouble deciding what to order, but we finally ordered the plantain chips, mango wings, slow-cooked goat, fried shrimp and black rice. We tore all that food up and got an extra order of the shrimp. Our servers were friendly and funny and got a chance to meet the owner the owner and he even bought us a round of shots! He told us he was opening a bigger place later this summer! Wish I could go back for that! Pikliz was definitely the food highlight of our trip and we can't stop talking about it. If I ever go back to Montreal, I'm running to Pikliz!

OMG.....what a great find…read more.. This place was listed on my Cheap Eats list for Montreal, so I decided to try. What a delight. As I walk in, the nice lady behind the counter welcomed me very friendly and after knowing that it was my first time in a Haitian restaurant, she recommended the Griot plate. I ordered it for take out, there's no dining in, so everything is take out. After I sat down, I started eating this delicious plate...what a delicacy...everything was done perfectly. The Griot was fried but not too crispy, it was tender and juicy on the inside, perfect to be douzed with the sauce that come on the side. There was plizki as well....the rice was moist, well seasoned and plentiful. The fried plantain was still crispy to the bite... Everything top notch, one of my best meals during my trip to Montreal....

The large mosaic of…read moregenuine-looking fried food on the outside of the building prompted up to interrupt our bike ride and order some of the stuff without even asking for the price. Renovations are not fully done yet inside, but honestly, that's not what we were looking for. We tried 3 kinds of meat: taso (fried goat), fried pork (griot), and fried chicken. My favorite was the taso. It had a nice taste of lamb and was tender and seasoned. I found the griot to be very fried (maybe that's how it's meant to be). The accompanying rice and pasta salad were good. Portion size is not huge on the meat but as a meal it's adequate and very decent for the price. The place looked family run and the staff was very friendly in explaining what was what to us tourists. At $8-10 after tax per Styrofoam meal including a can of pop, I'd come back to try some of their other items if I passed by again.

The vegetables and everythingfit the curry so well especially the chicpea. I do wish the carrots were a little softer to balance with the rest of the veggies. The goat is extra but it is worth getting and ties the whole meal together. It was soft and easy to eat not too chewy but a good texture. We got it to go one time and one time when just opened. I do have to say the to go time was better in my opinion.

I ordered the Smoked Brisket and it brought me back to my favorite Texas BBQ! Juicy, smokey, fatty (in a good way) and a big 1/2 pound (or more!) portion. Came with classic chili bowl, coleslaw, brioche bun, and BBQ sauce. 10/10. $23 felt like a solid price for so much food, and now I'm full all-day and feeling healthy! I also had some fried Plantains from the Paul Toussaint kiosk and they were delicious! -- came with spicy, sweet, vinegar and coleslaw sauce and fresh mayo. The Pineapple juice was fresh and yummy too. Highly recommend both places (they are right next to each other in the Timeout Market)!

The goat, lamb, and oxtail were absolutely out of this world, flavorful, tender, and perfectly executed. Huge shoutout to the bartender as well, as he clearly knows exactly what he is doing and crafts excellent drinks. Unfortunately, the table service was subpar and dragged the experience down. Our server was highly inattentive, left us waiting for long stretches, and never introduced herself. She also missed the opportunity to see if we wanted another round of drinks once dinner arrived. Most disappointing of all, they completely looked past the note on our reservation about celebrating my mother's birthday. Go for the incredible food, but the front of house service needs a lot of work.
