Bel Coq is a recently opened créole restaurant/take-out counter on Gouin Ouest. 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.

Oh my goodness, I have no idea why shops with Caribbean roti have not taken over the world as the…read morenext "Chipotle of" fast casual concept. (That is a hint to you budding culinary entrepreneurs.) In my head, proper Caribbean roti is Afro Caribbean cuisine meets Indian food and has a rectangular burrito-esque baby. It is non-existent in Northern California, so I basically drove here straight from the airport. The 32-seat shop is clean and basic, with a friendly proprietor who knows his customers and asks about their families. The chicken roti was huge and delicious. I ate the whole thing, after thinking about skipping dinner because I wasn't hungry. The slightly spicy, peppery curry sauce brought everything together: big chunks of boneless (white meat, unfortunately) chicken, potatoes, chickpeas, carrots, and plantains.

I wanted me some oxtail, but this was just OK…read more I've had alot of oxtail in my life at several places and countries. but this wasn't the best. The portion for the oxtail was okay but I felt like there wasn't enough sauce, so the rice was abit dry, I like it when it's saucy and it goes on the rice and all. The macaroni salad was okay, it had a sweet flavor to it. The plantain was the biggest disappointment tho, it was not soft nor sweet. They were hard, I don't think they were ripe enough to be cooked, I also ordered extra order of plantain which was a waste of money, because it wasn't what I expected. Will I come back, I don't think so

I was very much excited to try their food. Their food is delicious however what annoys me if the…read morefact that the portions aren't the same every time I order from them. One day you get a lot of rice and one day it's decent. I recommend them working on their measurements. They lack consistency from my experience but I understand they opened up recently. One day you get sauce and one day they don't give you sauce.. I don't get it. Another thing that annoys me is that they don't give us enough meat for what we are paying. Almost $15 dollars and I get like five pieces of chicken?? Rice is super cheap, so the fact that they give a lot of rice means nothing. Also, when I ordered from the Frittay I was angry because like I said it's not cheap and they don't give enough meat. It comes with marinade, Accra and plantains, they barely give enough... just a few pieces. You would think that since you're not getting rice they would give a lot more but no.. I wish them the best still! Just work on your portioning.

Went there last Thursday with some friends - for a blind date, believe it or not. Had never been to…read morethis restaurant before, so didn't know what to expect. I didn't really notice the music, mostly because my date was, well, kind of a jerk for the most part. He ordered my meal for me! Alright men, do guys in Montreal still DO this? He ordered the lamb shank for me, which didn't go over well with me because I've never had lamb before in my life and didn't know what to expect. Anyway, the waitress told us quite a bit about the wine - I needed several glasses what with my idiot date and all, I hope he reads this so he knows why I haven't called him back. I was surprised at how much she knew about the wine. I agree with the last reviewer that the atmosphere was kind of blah and the place wasn't really full, but on the bright side, I now know that I really, REALLY like lamb. The best part of my date was the food, which I know doesn't say much because of the loser I was saddled with, but I plan to go back, hopefully with a good man this time around.

We thought it had only been around for a short while but it's actually been here for 7 years already! It seems like the majority of traffic happens in the afternoon but it is open at night as well. My wife and I headed there on a Thursday night and we had the place to ourselves which meant the owner was free to chat with us as much as we wanted as we discussed the dishes and what we should try out. The ambiance was so nice and relaxing and the music being piped in was just perfect for the event. We started with a Mixed Entrees which meant a sampling of Acras (SO good!) Pâtés Cordees (patties filled with pulled pork - very tasty) and Chiquetailles (spicy smoked herring spread - SO spicy but SO tasty!) For our main meals I chose the Creole Chicken in a spicy stew (served with Rice, Fried Plantains, and sauce) which was very good. Mixing the stew in my rice also gave it a great little kick :) My wife had the Tassot de Boeuf (beef marinated in creole spices) which was also very tasty! We were too full to try any desserts but will definitely be back so there will be another chance :)

I got the beer they have imported from Jamaica but it costed me 7$ so to me it was not worth it. The service was great and the food was good, I'm definitely coming back!!
