If I were rating on food alone, this is an easy five star review because the kitchen is…read morespectacular. 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.

We tried their food truck by old port and WOW their bowls were amazing. Got the jerk chicken…read morepoutine and coconut mushroom bowl and both were so good. They were incredibly generous with their portions, especially with the poutine bowl which was loaded up with so much chicken and cheese that there was more than enough in every single bite. The mushroom bowl was so fresh and refreshing with all the veggies, and the rice had so much flavor it was delicious even just by itself. Definitely recommend!

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!

This place has amazing food. The flavors are great and portions are perfect…read more I always get the stir fry and usually throw in a Pattie. If you've never had a pattie before definitely give it a try they are very delicious. I just can't bring myself to give 5 stars though. I usually order them for lunch while I'm working and they cancel orders minutes before I'm expecting it to arrive. Give this place a try for sure but don't count on delivery if you are crunched for time. They just might cancel!

Before checking out a theatre show, the family decided to eat at Mango Bay for dinner. They've been…read morea few times to get their Caribbean fix. It's located upstairs on the second floor, above N sur Mackay and next door to Garage Beirut. We dropped in on a Saturday evening (around 6:00pm) with a group of 11. No one was there. The inside looks like it's been converted from an old apartment. There's only one waitress and she was slooooow. She did continuously bring out water jugs for us but go up to pay when you're ready to leave, it'll be faster. The menu is split into appetizers, salads, seafood, main courses, house specialties, burgers & wraps, roti, table d'hote and desserts. Their house specialties (like jerk chicken and curry goat) are pricey ($19.95). - Stew chicken ($12.95) - chicken slowly cooked in a rich homemade gravy. I went with the stewed chicken; tender but salty. Rice and peas were dry and a tad bland. Best thing was the plantains (sweet and tender) and the carrots. - Negril chicken ($14.49) - char grilled chicken breast marinated and cooked in a sweet and spicy Caribbean spice. One relative found it "spicy". - Curry goat roti ($10.49) - my mom went with the goat; tasty and with a good bite. Oddly, they put in pieces that have bones in it. Roti itself was strangely dry. - Grilled salmon ($19.95) - char grilled salmon seasoned with Caribbean spices. Didn't find anything special about MB. Pricey for what you get, especially with so many other quality spots nearby.

Wow! just wow! I rarely leave a restaurant truly blown away by the experience. I'm not exaggerating…read morewhen I say this place truly expanded my palette. The flavours are so delicate and one would not even think to pair certain items. The chef captured perfectly the diversity of the African / Caribbean diaspora. The food makes me so proud. Remarkable. The decor was tasteful and we immediately felt at ease when we walked in. The colour scheme and layout creates a chill vibe and music was perfect . Relaxed yet attentive staff. The portions are so massive that it's one of those rare occasions where I would actually recommend they give less food. It's just too much. Mind you, we were travelling back home the next day so ordered quite a bit. But even one dish each would have been a lot. I don't understand how one could live or be near Montreal and not stop what they are doing and come here for lunch / dinner. This must be a top 100 restaurant in Canada. How could it not be ? From the accra, the fresh watercress salad and slaw to the succulent fried chicken , savoury red snapper. I couldn't get enough of the variety of rices they provided ( Haitian , Jamaican etc). It was just all so mouthwatering. People this place is beyond the real deal. They set a standard of how all restaurants should be in showcasing the absolute best. Palme accomplishes the trifecta of stellar cuisine , service and ambience. Read my review while enjoying your meal here and you'll see it is the gospel! I wish Decades of success to the owners. Well done !

The pre fixe menu for the MTLatable had a lot of options and we were glad most of the options were gluten free. I had the Conch Gratin which was good but was a huge portion so more bread would have been needed as I didn't want to eat it right off of the spoon. My friend got the jerk shrimp which were very fishy smelling and tasing and just alright. Our entrees were the star of the night - the Grilled Fish and the Vegan Curry. For the dessert the server recommended the Pina Colada which was tasty but basically coconut ice cream with a pineapple. The service was very slow despite it not being very busy on the snowy night. We had to flag down a server just to order drinks after waiting for a while. There was a large birthday party - they were the only other clients - and they seemed to be taking all the time and attention of the staff.

The jerk chicken was incredible and just so tender and deeelish. The oxtails were fall off the bone tender I just wished there was more of it vs rice/plantain ratio and price .. it was like 20$ a dish super pricey for the amount of chicken/ oxtail you get . Rice was alright just a bit dry but the main meats were INCREDIBLE.. Beef patties were amazing loved it! Ordered through their website for pickup, they had no idea we pre-ordered so we had to wait a while more to get it prepared for us and luckily they had food leftover to make us our order! Overall i will definitely be back and maybe pre-order over the phone and maybe try out their other location on st-viateur it is the original joint so will need to try it first. Cheers
