These are the only faults I can report about this gem of a restaurant. The menu is in French yet the staff were extremely friendly and able to converse and make recommendations in English, so tourists do not be afraid. *Griot: Pork, braised and fried, Haitian style. Full of well balanced flavor. Texture is chewy yet somehow juicy at the same time. *Cabrit: Goat meat. The meat marinade perfectly balances the gamey aroma of the goat so you can enjoy the flavor without sensing any funny smells. Texture is similar to the griot. Both entrees we ordered came with rice (really well seasoned), fried plantains, pasta, salad, pikliz (it's spicy!), sauce. Everything was unbelievably delicious. The portion sizes were absolutely insane and I felt so bad about not being able to finish my food because I had to fly out. It's going to be hard to find Haitian food this good elsewhere. I'm going to be thinking about this restaurant for years to come.

I've been back a dozen times since then. I usually order the lambi, which comes with a mountain of riz collé, fried plantains, pasta salad and pikliz (like all the other food).

I arrived and after looking at the menu, I ordered the fried pork (Griot porc) with rice and beans, fried plantains, salad and the Pikliz..it was about $16.75 for the full meal. The plate was big...lots of rice, chunks of fried pork and sides....the pork was a bit on the dry side, so I poured some of the sauce on it....the rice and beans was really good. The fried plantains were not hot nor crunchy/crispy. Not a fan. The salad was fresh. Overall not a bad choice if you are in this part of town but not my favorite Haitian spot.....

The only downside is that everything is in French, and you order through an iPad, no servers at the front to assist. BUT other than that, the food is SO worth the tiny bit of confusion lol Honestly, I don't know why you're still reading my review. Get your butt over there, you will not regret it!!!!

While I was there, I felt as though I'd been whisked away to Haiti and sitting with the locals enjoying their favourite dishes. The entire experience - the food and the space was truly authentic! First, we tried their appetizer platter. Truthfully, it was more than enough food to be considered an entire meal. There was lamb, Griot, chicken, Miniature Haitian patties, fried yams, and fried akra balls and of course, a large spicy bowl of Pikliz. The meat was tender, perfectly seasoned, and tasted fresh. I'm not sure what filling was used for the Patties - maybe cod. Either way, whatever it was, it was delicious. For the mains, we were served two types of rice, the traditional rice and beans and a mushroom-based rice. We also had fried green plantain, which was fried to golden yellow perfection and a spinach like medley with crab, shrimp and beef mixed in. While the mains were great, the meats in the appetizer platter were my favourite! The restaurant is small and doesn't seat many; however, it doesn't feel crammed. The space is filled with many Haitian artifacts, giving it a very cultural feel. Beside the food and space, what I loved most were the people working there. I felt their love for Haitian food and culture in every interaction. Even though this restaurant is so inconveniently located for me, I will be back because it's worth the trek!

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)!

I thought they were a little pricey, but so worth the value. These restaurants have some of the top chefs of the city. We navigated our way up to the top flooor of the Eaton center. This food court is called the Timeout market. After walking aimlessly around all the restaurants, we settled on Paul Toussaint. We both chose the spare ribs with plantain frites (fries). I have had plantain chips but not plantain in the shape fry. Our meal was beyond good. You could see the chef prepare the meal and with such precision.
