Loved this spot! Right in Old Montreal this restaurant has a combo of Caribbean and Asian fusion. We were lucky enough to try the sushi platter with several different spins on sushi rolls. We got to enjoy jazz music all night and the service was great.

Fish Boa

Really a 4.5 stars as the food is really good except for the fries. I've never seen fries like that before. I couldn't eat them. The fish tartar is great, the oysters were fresh and tasty and the bottomless mimosas packed a punch. Great location and warm service upon entry and throughout. I'd definitely recommend.

Plantain fries

I appreciate how the chef is bringing the Haitian culture for people to experience it, but I think the restaurant caters to the demographic/ area. The dishes are unique but not traditional Haitian dishes. The meals also lacked a LOT of flavor. The restaurant is def a 3 out of 10. I would recommend just sticking to the appetizers because those were the only items that were good. I high recommend the Akra (even tho it's not the trading way of making akra it did have a nice twist to it) and the plantain fries. The Mac & cheese was okay. The cremas was also pretty good! The lambi (conch stew) was VERY DISAPPOINTING! The griot pieces are way too big (they're typically smaller / bite size pieces). All in all it was nice to experience this restaurant but I wouldn't return here again. Definitely try it out for yourself !

Arrived a little after the restaurant opened when the traffic was on the low side, so wait time on food wasn't bad Shared between 2 people: Plantain hummus (4/5) - different in a good way, reminded me of a subtle banana pudding flavor Jerk Passion Wings (4.5/5) - tasty, just wish there was more than 3 wings Bao Buns (4/5) - brisket was tender and overall tasty Rice and Peas (3/5) - lacked some flavor Passionfruit Martini (5/5) I would definitely come back again! Overall 4.5/5

Plantain hummus with flatbread, rice and beans as side, jerk wings, and bao bun with cucumber and short ribs!

Food was really good and unique. Never had some of those dishes before! Service was ok. Took awhile to get served but eventually everything was good. Ambiance was so cool!

We went to have Easter brunch at @kwizinnverdun. The early, bright sunlight and the lively, vivid, supereme colour scheme made us feel like we were in the Carribean. But the real reason we just couldn't pass up this morning feast? Lobster. Grilled. Cheese. Yes, it's as good as it sounds. And those puffy, fluffy, pretty, plumpy Japanese pancakes were equally yummy. Add bottomless mimosas and very friendly, prompt service to that and you've got a recipe for a fantastic start to your day.

Cute little Carribean place. We were 2 ppl and we got the shared plate for 2 but it was alot. It was nice to have different stuff on the platter to try but definitely alot to share for 2 ppl, I wish they had told us that the portions are insanely big. The food itself was so good, the only bad part was that the crab was overcooked. They have the meat or the seafood platter that you can chose from, we chose the meat,on the platter we had okra, plantain, griot, lamb, steak, crab, octopus, arrancini, rice, salad and a few dipping sauces. We got mojitos as drinks, the drinks were average If we do go back with will probably be a bigger group to share the platter, or we would get out own plate. Plus it would cost you cheaper if you get your own plate This place was full when we went and it was very noisy you can hear other ppls conversation because everyone was talking to loud and can't really hear the person in from of you. This place is good for big groups I find

Food in general was quite good and for what you're paying, the portions are definitely very generous. Good for if you're super hungry or sharing. For appetizers, we obviously got the cod accras. They were delicious but I think I like Palme's better. Verdun's were a bit smaller and much softer. Palme's were bigger and had more of a firm bite to them, and were a bit saltier (pleasantly so.) Both were nice and spicy, but the Palme's were spicy from the sauce while Verdun's accras were spicy themselves and accompanied by this delicious tart and buttery sauce. It's up to your preference, but I like almost all accras I come across! My partner got the jerk chicken, which I had a little bite of. Was good but not outstanding, but chicken was moist and fresh which is a big plus. I got the griots--very good, loved the fatty parts which were nicely fried and browned. With the rice though it was a bit dry, had to take a lot of bites with the kale to moisten it up, which meant the kale was finished quite quickly. There was a sauce that came with as well, which was good (not too salty--the griot was seasoned well enough so this was nice) but still not enough of it to moisten every bite on the plate and a bit watery. You could always ask for more though! But I wonder if the chefs don't think it's too dry? Service was pleasant and there was live music which my partner really enjoyed.

Omg! Premièrement, en reconduisant à la maison après le pickup, ma voiture sentait les Caraïbes! Le…read moremélange d'odeur d'épices et de friture me préparait les papilles gustatives pour l'expérience qui nous attendait! Le meilleur que je n'ait mangé! J'ai une curiosité folle de vouloir tout essayé du menu dans les prochaines semaines car je ne suis aucunement boeuf, et en goûtant celui de ma mère, je me suis surprise a trippé sur ce bœuf! 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!!!!

En visite chez ma sœur et affamée, mon chum a commandé l'assiette de poisson, assiette familiale…read morej'imagine étant donné la grosseur qui a mangé a lui seul jusqu'au dernier grain de riz, j'ai quand même pu voler quelques bouchées pour goûter et c'était délicieux. Pour ma part j'ai pris un sandwich plantain que j'avais découvert à Calgary il y a longtemps et que je rêvais de remanger. Malheureusement je ne mange pas de viande donc j'ai du la prendre végétarienne mais c'était quand même très bon.... Avertissement aux faibles elle était extra pikliz... super bon resto Haïtien, approuvé par mon chum Haïtien
