Kwizinn Vieux-Port in Montreal

Lovellyyyy food Lovely staff, they are super friendly and kind staff Food are amazing, I ll back Food : 5/5

Une expérience très décevante. Nous avons attendu plus de deux heures pour nos plats, ce qui est inacceptable. Et pour couronner le tout, la nourriture était mal cuite, sans goût, et des ingrédients ont été mélangés malgré nos avertissements sur des allergies. C est non seulement un manque de professionnalisme, mais aussi un risque pour la santé. Je déconseille vivement ce restaurant.

This restaurant was recommended to me for my birthday and I had the biggest disappointment yet. We arrived and tables and chairs were missing. We waited over 2 hours for drinks and some never arrived on our tables. I had 20 guests and only one server who was doing a poor job of serving us... really deplorable. When the food came, it had no Caribbean taste. Aside from the name of the restaurant, frankly, the menu should be reviewed. I advise you not to go there. Dietary restrictions: I mentioned when making my reservation that I had seafood allergies and the majority of dishes served did. My guests were able to taste it, but I spent half the service without eating anything.

I loved it! For my first experience I really liked it. The service was also not bad

Very nice discovery. Fresh and well-cooked products, a real treat. Good value for money I will go back and recommend!

We went with a group of 8 and all ordered the tasting menu. The food and the service were great, they brought out delicious platters with heaping portions of fish, goat, pork, chicken, rice, lentils, plantains, empanadas and accompanying sauces. Definitely recommend!

Superb evening with friends, we had the tasting menu and everything was excellent, the only negative point is your draft beer! A restaurant of your class should not serve such poor quality beer, it really ruins your reputation! After changing the barrel we had beers with such a large deposit of yeast inside that it was undrinkable! Yes we had a can of beer as a replacement but the damage had already been done! I would have given 5* .

I went last night with my daughter to celebrate an event, our reservation was at 7 p.m. We were placed next to a window where we could smell the air, my daughter kept her coat on all evening. My bad, I should have left a comment, we would surely have been moved. Beautiful and good cocktail...I had a zuzu, spicy without exaggeration, just perfect. The food and quantities were excellent. We shared everything: as a starter, bao fall of bone sandwiches and chefs griot with pikliz and weighed bananas and then a dish of Bourbon-smoked Cornish chicken and curry sauce which we accompanied with yuka (cassava) fries. ). We didnt have room for dessert next time. Very nice decor and good music. We recommend both.

Best fusion carribean ive had. Beautiful venue, great ambiance, a little expensive in my opinion. Most tender Griot ever. The cold platter was tasty. The riz jonjon was the only dissapointing thing food wise.

I went on a sunday night with 2 friends. And its their cuban night. The cuban music was so loud that we had to yell for the servers to hear us and they had to yell back in our ears. Really did not enjoy that athmosphere. Was the music good? Yes, but the noise level is wayy to high. Altough the restaurant call itself carribean fusion, I knew the chef is Haitian, so I had faith that the food would be good. But oh my. We ordrered accra, oysters and boa buns as starters. The oysters were fresh and good. The accra was burnt and undercooked, probably because the oil temperature was too high, and frankly its a disgrace to call that an accra. For main course, We had the fish with djondjon rice, the burger and the pork chop. There was a big chunck of epis in the fish (see picture) . The fries in the burger were burnt (see pictures). The pork chops were ok though. For the riz djondjon, I get that it was late, but we only got Graten (overcooked crispy rice for the non haitians reading). It would have been better if they told us that they are out of djondjon rice. Paying 9$ for a small bowl of graten is crazy man. We also ordered 3 coktails that were good. We ended up paying about 300$ for an experience that we did not enjoy at all. Maybe it was a bad night for them. But I will not come back. Wheelchair accessibility: Stairs to get in.

I have been frequenting this restaurant since its beginnings on Plaza Saint-Hubert, then passing through Verdun. I went to their new location at the old port and I have to say I was disappointed for the first time. I had the cabrit which in my opinion has always been one of their best dishes and I could barely take a few bites as the taste was not there. The new Accra recipe also leaves something to be desired in my humble opinion. On the other hand, I loved the yucca fries. The classic buger plantain is still just as good. The fish recipe has also been completely modified: (I find that the recipes have really lost their authenticity, probably with the aim of pleasing the masses due to the new location, but still disappointed not to find the flavors that I was used to it. However, very nice restaurant, excellent location with a nice atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. I find the price of the plates quite competitive for such a beautiful restaurant in the heart of the old port.

Asking to do a mandatory reservation is ok Asking to pay now : not the best thing. Adding 18% of tips and to pay now : NOT OK : no service yet how could i pay you tips ??

Good drinks

I went for a lunchtime brunch during mtl a table. We had two tofu dishes, 2 griot dishes and 2 cod dishes.... Unfortunately it was disappointing. We didnt like the menu. We took starters in addition to empanadas of griot deserve a sauce its a little dry. It wasnt our cup of tea. The cod dish.... I looked for cod for a long time and didnt find too much sauce on the foccasia. The tofu was bland. The djon rice with garlic and griot although it is tender, very bland. The atmosphere and the place is beautiful, the service is correct. Also, if you come with children there is no menu for them. There is absolutely no value for money. After a hefty bill we left hungry

Phenomenal food! The Griot is a hearty dish and the flavours are balanced and exact The decor had such warmth and charm A definite gem in the heart of Old Montreal Food : 5/5 |

Not worthy! Food is super expensive and the portions are really small for what real Caribbean food is. Service was mediocre. Also it is crazy that they charge you for the sauces to marry your food when usually something should come with the plate.

Everything was just great!!!!

An excellent, friendly restaurant. A delicious meal.

Update location in the Old port The decor and the bar was really nice Service was good, the waitress was nice, the oysters were lovely. We got the bao bun, it was really good, the griot and the goat, we were surprised that the goat didnt come with anything and for it to be 45$, i wasnt able to eat it because of the harsh smell. Ive eaten goat before and the smell was bever this harsh, waitress didnt recommend us to get sides, the only side we had was 3 pieces of plantain with the griot It would have been nice for her to let us know maybe we wouldnt have ordered 2 meat plates Also we were the last ones there and we felt like we were getting stared at to leave by all the employees, and it made us feel uncomfortable even one of the employees asked my friend if she can move from her chair because they wanted to clean and rearrange the table while we were still there. After having to pay over 200$ each I think they could have been abit more courteous towards there clientele 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. The sharable plate was 130$ and it was expensive for just 2 ppl 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 cant really hear the person in front of you. This place is good for big groups I find They have a very small bar area. The cocktails were ok The service was pretty good, they were nice.

I went to kwizin restaurant and it was a very disappointment. They are promoting chef choice for $75 per person which is a rape off. I spent $216 and still walked out hungry cause the food was horrible and my server lied about how spicy the food was. And when I asked to speak with a manager he said no one was available to talk to 30 seconds later another customer requested to speak with a supervisor but minutes after that left the restaurant. For the first time I did not tip my server this is how terrible the food and the service were

I discovered this restaurant with Caribbean flavors in Old Montreal. The decor is magnificent and the dishes served are elegant. Im not a fan of spicy food, so I had to check every ingredient. The waitress understood and the kitchen was vigilant. So, it s a restaurant for lovers of spicy dishes. I ate a fish bao and it was really good. I ordered fried yuka to change traditional fries and it changes the taste palettes. I find it a shame not to have had the chance to order a great mocktail with fruity flavors because they dont have any. If you are looking for a Caribbean atmosphere, also watch their musical programming for hot evenings.

We wanted to try the Kwizinn Vieux Port because we were huge fans of the one in Verdun. Positive points: -Beautiful restaurant, clean, nice tables & chairs. -Very good service - Food as good as before (gryo plate) On the other hand, I find it disappointing to have to order extra sticky rice when I order a plate of gryo which only includes platinum & pikliz. Who doesnt eat rice stuck with their gryo? I understand, maybe they have to raise the prices, fine, but offer me a complete plate a little more expensive, certainly, but with all the elements that this dish should include. Finally, very sad not to have found the gryo mac & cheese... it was different and so good. In summary, its good but its not as authentic as before in my opinion.

Food was really delicious ! I had the plantain burger with a side of plantain and I loved it !

We were at Kwizinn on a Saturday evening, and what a great time: a DJ who set the mood, pleasant and fast service, well-prepared, well-done dishes - even as a Haitian, I loved everything. And what about this tiramisu with Kremas (a typical creamy alcohol), a delight. Must try on your list, or come back!

The BEST Caribbean food in MTL! Wow! The quality of the food and drink is amazing! Great ambiance and service and there is LIVE music as well!

Luigi saved the evening. Very courteous, attentive and available. The dishes we ordered were much better. The banana fritter dessert was exquisite. The atmosphere was very good. We had a wonderful evening. Thanks again Luigi. Well come back and hope youll be there Daphne and Rolf

We went to celebrate a birthday on September 29th. The meal was delicious. However, the waitress lacked experience, she made a mistake about our when it came time to pay, she never came to check, if we were missing anything on our table after serving the meals, we had to call out to the other servers to complete our order. When we asked her a question, she had difficulty guiding us in our choices. In addition, we appreciated the atmosphere of the restaurant however, on several occasions we mentioned to our waitress to ask the musicians to turn down the sound unfortunately nothing was done, us. We ate and left the restaurant to go talk in the parking lot since we couldnt hear each other talk.

Good food and the hostess Claudia is very friendly

Update - September 2024 First visit since moving to the old port. We opted for the tasting platter, which allowed us to taste a little bit of everything. Ideal for having a good time. Discovered through the series Meanwhile in the kitchen on Prime, I couldnt wait to taste this Caribbean Kwizinn. For cocktails, if you dont drink alcohol like me, the waitress (very attentive) will make you something. Everything looked good on the menu and the three of us went to the Chefs Choice Tasting Platter to be able to taste as many things as possible, it was so full that we had trouble finishing. There was griot, rice, shrimp, cassava croquette, snow crab etc. and we were not disappointed. Shall we go back? Oh yes because the rest of the menu is worth testing (especially the goat) :)

The atmosphere is really good with a DJ the food is delicious I really had a great evening

Superb restaurant, excellent cuisine and super welcoming team! We ate jerk chicken, griot and sticky rice, a braised fish. Delicious!! I recommend! Thank you to Chef Mike and Chef Céline Diallo for representing Haitian cuisine and more broadly Afro-Caribbean cuisines in the Old Port; it was missing!

Tremendous Atmosphere exquisite restaurant nice engaging area. The staff are fantastic. As for the meal find them highly salty flabbergast presentation. Food

Went for a brunch ! Pretty good but the plantain which were dry. Meat too. Vegetarian option was excellent Chili sauce was fresh and good but for the amount we can actually eat its a bit on the pricy side. Still a refreshing brunch

Love love love this place! The atmosphere is great and has a live dj to set the mood! The waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable with the menu. The cocktails are so unique and well done! Then the food is incredibly delicious! We had the tasting menu which gave us many things to try. Came to star this as a favorite and saw some bad reviews which made me think did they eat at the same place?! Highly recommend this place!

Very good food. We took the tasting menu, we were 3 and we couldnt finish it ( very generous portions). The meat is very tasty and tender. Recommend and will come back! Their espresso martinis are very good also !

Super nice evening with friends at the Kwizinn restaurant, everything was absolutely perfect I was on my 3rd visit, but first time at this new location in Old Montreal. The place is particularly warm, it s beautiful, it s clean, the staff is smiling and welcoming. The place has a magnificent, well-stocked bar and the cocktails are original and tasty (we tried the zuzu cocktail and the grenade cocktail, unfortunately I dont remember the exact names anymore ). We shared an octopus carpaccio whose seasoning (a type of pesto/gremolata) was perfectly balanced. Subsequently, the friend I was with ordered tender and tasty lamb served with a type of barley in a slightly spicy sauce (cooked risotto style), for my part, I was able to taste some cabrit accompanied by a little sauce, the latter was also very well seasoned, as well as weighed bananas. The portions being more than generous, we did not have room for dessert, but the menu looked very appetizing We will therefore surely return there to taste and try other dishes as well as listen to good music.

Dinner Saturday evening October 12, 2024. After a visit to the World Press Photos at the Bonsecour Market and a trip to the Clock, Attracted by the music and the atmosphere and at the suggestion of my globetrotter friend. Excellent choice. The fish was a European sea bass also called sea bass. Accompanied by vegetables and spicy and tasty sauces. Beautiful presentations. Desserts and cappucinos. Warm atmosphere and attentive and courteous staff. Really a beautiful and good time. There is a room for groups and the other section for one-on-one time. We recommend; for an exotic and tasty experience. See you soon. GP. Parking: Huge parking lot, paid, right in front of the restaurant. Went by metro and pleasant walk.

3 years later and a new location. From Verdun to the Old Port We were welcomed by Maria who gave us 5 service. Maria took her time to explain the dishes to us and make some suggestions. The meal was beyond our expectations. The oysters were fresh and perfectly prepared, the carpaccio incredible, the griot so tender that it melted in your mouth and the fish bao sublime. For dessert, I let myself be tempted by the tiramisu kremas. WoW! I invite you to discover Kwizinn. Its definitely worth it! There are jazz and Cuban evenings with orchestra. Mesi anpil and see you soon, Maria. It was my first meeting and wow what a magnificent place to discover! Incredible food, a singer on site with music from the Islands! I felt like I was on vacation! We had the tasting dish with a little bit of everything packed with flavors. An exquisite platter, fresh and cooked to perfection. I will return for my birthday with the family. A very friendly place with music. Maria met our expectations very well. In addition, there is municipal parking across the street. An A+, a big thank you and see you soon!

Dined in on Cuban night. Service; food; atmosphere & music where excellent. Will be back next time in Montreal.

I loved this place. The food was amazing! The staff was very nice. The service was very slow, though, even though it wasn t a particularly busy night, and the music was a bit too intense for a restaurant. The food can be pretty expensive but there are still delicious and affordable options on the menu. Overall, a great experience.

My summer discovery! The atmosphere, the flavors, the music! Everything was there for an unforgettable evening! As for the service, simply top notch! A detour to make, without hesitation!!!

We had a great time in this restaurant with friends. Everything was excellent, from the service to the great DJ atmosphere (Friday evening) and of course the originality of the dishes. I recommend it without hesitation!!

Went in for dinner with my wife and we found one of the dishes a bit over done and we mentioned it to our server. She was outright rude and told us even though we didnt like it we have to pay for it.... sad part to see rudness in the hospitality industry. We paid for 2 appetizers and left the restaurant hungry. Seems the restaurant was recently switched from a new location and the pics are misleading as they are not what they seem and we asked that to the waitress and she told us the same. Definitely would suggest NOT to go here .

Service was ok and friendly. Atmosphere was nice. We got the the tartare and portions were WAY too small for the price.

The new location in the old port is so beautiful and I really want to see this restaurant thrive ! However, please do not be afraid of seasoning ! Serve the dishes as they are supposed to taste like. Especially rice and mac and cheese who tend to be so disappointing when not well seasoned. Also, I think it would be great if hot sauce, salt & pepper were available/ accessible to customers in the restaurant. (I asked for hot sauce and was handed a large tabasco bottle with only 10 drops max in it) Thank you !

Mu husband and I had an amazing time. The food was very good, we ordered multiple times and the food was served promptly each time, the salad well balanced and had fresh ingredients, and the black bar tender preparing our drinks fave us a show of her craft, Amazing !!!

Great atmosphere, small but delicious menu, great service. Mixed drinks are divine.

Manager lets go of the shoot and goes to talk to the customers I know youre going to say youre trying to change that youve discussed and blah blah blah A person like that doesnt run a business without knowing how to live and be able to speak and respect the customers of the world who could replace her, there are plenty of them even guylaine gagnon would do better Thank you for the Facebook algorithm for the video TO AVOID

The room is nicely decorated and the map transports us to the West Indies. The dishes are tasty and well presented. We waited a long time for our entry but the boss apologized a lot. Its just a shame that that evening, a DJ was playing her music at a horribly high volume level!

The tasting menu is worth every penny. Amazing flavor.

This fusion restaurant is a MUST try! Very reasonable prices for Old Montreal, portions are very generous, service is outstanding and the food was beyond delicious. It breaks my heart that I live so far away and can t become a regular customer here. Yes, it s that good. Enjoy it while I dream about it from afar!

I am a regular customer of the old kwiziin Verdun and I will become one of the one in old Montreal. Magnificent restaurant with impeccable atmosphere and service. I ordered the oysters, the mignonette with coconut milk, calamansi and bird s eye chili was delicious. As a meal I had the griot, djondjon rice, chalè sauce and pikliz perfectly executed as always. New signature chumi chumi cocktail with bissap which I really loved and toutouni which was really excellent too. Still one of my favorites in Montreal

Excellent !

To start with the pikliz there are two kinds and we were able to taste each one, it was really a 10/10 delight! Now the veggie acras for me was a 2/10 and for my husband it was therefore 5/10. The main dishes, I had the gourmet burger, it was good and I had already seen that on social networks it was one of the most popular dishes so I give it a 7/10. To finish the fish of the day my husband found it edible but nothing more. He was really disappointed and rated it 3/10. Otherwise in terms of aesthetics and atmosphere it was nice. Its clean and its beautiful. The service was okay. I had a non-alcoholic drink and the flavors were 8/10. In the end I might come back to have the chance to taste basic dishes such as grio, sticky rice etc.

Good service, decent food, though a bit on the pricier side for what it is. The live music was a nice touch but it was a but loud for the size of the space. I would come back with friends again.

Great place not my usual go to restaurant. Give it a try everything was excellent.

I came for the Lobster Poutine and I was not disappointed. It s the best poutine and lobster I ve ever had. Staff were incredible and very accommodating.

This resturant, oh my god the foods are amazing, good seasoning,good sauce, oh my god, AND for hatian people if you want to go there ita bascially a place for you guys the fried pork, the fried planktan to the black rice its just so good. The service too thsy were so kind so I tipped them $5. If your looking at this just try it its amazing.

Just went for a drag/burlesque show. Food was amazing and the performances were even better!

Varied dishes, a perfect mix of flavors for those who like to discover new restaurants Thank you their mega team owners! The extraordinary servers Live music!!

Nice atmosphere and service, the food is quite spice and flavorless

Great to experience authentic Haitian food in such a classy environment. I love the modern twist of the menu while also highlighting our traditional food. Having been to the different Kwizinn locations, from the one that closed on Saint-Hubert to Verdun, I am happy to see how much it has evolved. It s a great place to introduce non-Haitians to our food

Amazing cocktails, food and service. A must try in the old port!

This place is well put together. The food is amazing. The fusion of seasonings was phenomenal. It s a must eat!!!

food and service was great!!

My recent experience at this restaurant was disappointing, particularly due to the bill and the waitresss behavior when we asked for explanations. Firstly, when we asked if the restaurant had childrens meals, the waitress said no but suggested the steak fries. Looking at the menu, we saw that the fries were $12, but no information was given on the price of the steak. So we ordered two steak fries. To our great surprise, the bill came to a total of $370 including $190 for 2 steak fries which were to serve as a childrens menu. When we asked the waitress for an explanation, she turned away and refused to provide us with clear information on how the bill was calculated. This lack of transparency and the lack of courtesy on the part of the staff made our experience particularly unpleasant. We will not return there and do not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a pleasant meal without unpleasant surprises in the bill. Reggie

Love it here! Spicy Drag Brunch was super fun, the staff is really nice and the food is great. Beautiful spot to sit in the old port too.

No flavor. Was not Jamaican food. Missing many spices Had to ask for Salk and Pepper to give flavor. Wine glasses are, if lucky, 3 oz each for $14.00. Expensive for the value received. Would not absolutely not recommend.

Small impromptu stop to have a good beer with oysters and fries outside. Very good and excellent service. I will definitely return there for a dinner with friends.

What can I say about my experience Hats off to Mr. Mike Lafaille for his delicious restaurant, dont rely on reviews, because tastes are natural, I highly recommend this restaurant for a Flavor Marathon

The food is okay, but it is way way overpriced. Service was rather slow even though less than a handful of tables were occupied. Will not return.

Stylish, delicious, and unparalleled service.

Stumbled upon this place while walking though old port, and what a success it was! The drinks and appies were delicious and the staff was utterly great! They gave us amazing suggestions for the rest of our stay. Thank you!

It was a nice little spot. I loved the empanadas. They were delicious with that yummy sauce

Food is INCROYABLE. Me and my husband had the Kabrit, the burger & Ailes de passion, jon jon rice and the bao fall of di bone. It was soooo good. Definitely gonna come back to try the Carpaccio de pieuvre & the salmon tartare. Music & vibe was amazing + gotta give it to the staff. Everyone was just super nice & chill. I recommend this place !

Food and drinks were delicious! Will be back to try more of the menu

Great food and entertainment at the spicy drag brunch

Drag brunch was so much fun

Spicy Drag brunch was awesome! Food and drinks were amazing as usual!! Food

A bresh of fresh in the dining scene, being a hotel concierge, its fun to discover new flavors. Keep up the creativity and innovations.

I had the fish of the day and it was fantastic! Great service, drinks were great and the atmosphere warm. Highly recommended

Incredibly exceptionally delicious meal!!! Chef Mike came to toast with us. Sunny musical atmosphere with DJ. Tropical decor. Well done !

Food is awesome. Friendly, efficient staff. Fabulous music!

We ate outside because all the tables inside were reserved. We placed our orders and waited more than 45 minutes before our plates arrived. During that wait outside, we had to Inhale the exhaust from cars driving right by. The portions were small for the price paid. (That is a cliche for a pricy $$$ restaurant). The Alloco I received, based on my order, was burnt; completely black. The plantains were overly ripped. I was too tired to say anything about it to the waitress given that I drove more than 7 hours from the USA. Being accustomed to real Ivorian (Côte D Ivoire) and Haitian cuisine, we were not thrilled with what we got. However, we will give it an average rating. On the other hand, the atmosphere and the waiters/waitresses were friendly. I will highly recommend staying indoors for anyone who wants to avoid car exhaust inhalation. Parking: There is a paid parking lot just feet away. Wheelchair accessibility: Dining out only. I didnt see a wheelchair access for the inside.

Very delicious, good service, the team is great.

We snuck in before the dinner rush. The wait staff was gracious and the caribbean meals were very good. Happy we visited.

Disappointing. Expensive (price quality). Mediocre drinks. Slow service. Very good salad though.

Amazing 10/10 on everything. Kwizinn nails everything down to the T. I had the Obe Ata Végé which was absolutely amazing. It was flavourful, light but satisfying. I also tasted the passionfruit mojito which was super tasty, but the drink of the moment, a cucumber and jalapeño deliciousness, stole the show. Not only is the food fantastic, but the decor is beautiful, the music is well chosen and the service is impeccable. Our waitress was fun, super nice and friendly while still professional. I will be there again and again. Wow!

GREASY FOOD We sat outside in the patio and they never brought forks or napkins, we had to ask for them. We ordered some plantain (as seen in photo) which was greasy and burnt, didnt taste good. The other entree we ordered were some yuca fries which the server brought wrong and 30 min later brought the correct plate. However the servers were really nice and welcoming, improving the experience. Still, we ate amd had no plates for the entrees and had to place our food in the napkins.

The best service, the best food and the atmosphere is so festive and welcoming! I will come back often!

Unfortunately, a very disappointing first experience. The food is not bad but excessively expensive, more luxurious places are around the same price. ($113.20 for two shared starters and a main course without wine.) The bad experience also comes down to very, very slow and visibly overwhelmed staff. Allow 40 minutes for three cocktails, 50 minutes for the first starters and a request for a bottle of sparkling water which never arrived. Its a disappointment and I really dont recommend it.

Too expensive for what it is. Everything is very spicy.

What a fantastic restaurant!! The server was very knowledgeable and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Griot, which had tender pieces of delicious pork. The Accra was great, and the Quebec Goat was absolutely delicious with the Djondjon rice. I am legitimately sad I am only visiting but will be making this a regular visit every time I am in town.

This was undoubtedly the best dining experience I ve ever had. The food was exceptional, and despite being tapas, the portion sizes were generous. Each dish was incredibly flavorful, highlighting the rich diversity of Haitian and Caribbean cuisine. The staff was outstanding, providing excellent guidance on food and drink pairings. The evening was enhanced by live jazz music, and the pricing was reasonable given the location in Old Montréal. I plan to return whenever I visit Montreal this restaurant is a must-try. Would recommend the: Pork Griot, Accra, Goat Dish and DjonDjon.

Kwinzinn offers a fantastic Caribbean dining experience. The food and drinks are delicious, with rich, authentic flavors in every bite. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, providing a stunning and fun atmosphere. Claudia, the owner and manager, is a joy to meet and truly brings the personality of the place to life. I ve enjoyed their Verdun location, and the now new Old Port location is even more impressive. Highly recommend Kwinzinn for anyone looking to enjoy great Caribbean cuisine!

STORY TIME with Kwizinn Restaurant Bar Last night, we went on a little family outing downtown. After attending a festive event, we decided to go to a restaurant. Having heard about the Kwizinn restaurant recently, I suggested we go there. The others agreed and we went there. When we arrived, we asked the waiter, who was very courteous, if it was not too late as it was around 9:30 p.m. He assured us it was no problem. So we settled in, but quickly realized that if we stayed outside the service would be long. So we decided to go inside, and everything went well. The welcome was so warm that we had nothing to complain about. When we were handed the menus, we asked the waitress a few questions, who answered them kindly, and then placed our order. As there were several of us, we chatted to pass the time. We noticed that other people who arrived at the same time as us were already served, but our order was slow in arriving. I called the waitress to ask if there was a problem, and she admitted that maybe they had made a mistake. I told him it was his kindness that still held me back. Around 11:05 p.m., we were brought almost cold and poorly presented dishes. The waitress really tried to apologize, and I tried to stay calm. She offered us a shot as compensation, to do it at first I accepted, but I observed the attitude of the manager. Afterwards I told the waitress that I didnt want it, that I wanted to speak with the manager instead. Unfortunately, the manager never showed up, despite our request. Finally she gave us a $20 discount, explaining that she was busy. Do you know what she was doing? She told jokes with her friends. Guys, I found this so disrespectful that I went to her. She wouldnt let me explain the situation to her, telling me that she didnt have to come see me since she had given me a discount. The part of the video where you see her calmer is when she noticed my brother taking out his phone to film because she was being too arrogant. If you look closely in the video, you will see that she was taking shots. How dare you provide such poor service and disrespect to your customers? FRANKLY IM TIRED WITH SOME WHO THINK THEY CAN DISRESPECT ANYONE CHUIPPPZZZZ. THIS WOMAN SHOULD NOT BE RUNNING A BUSINESS SORRY. SHE HAS NO PROFESSIONALISM, NO RESPECT FOR HER CUSTOMERS. SHE RUNS THE RESTAURANT ACCORDING TO HER MOOD AND HER CHOICES. BUT I BELIEVE SHE DIDNT KNOW WHO SHE WAS IN BUSINESS WITH.

Very poor customer service. The poorly educated manager disrespected customers. Very arrogant, wild, disrespectful. You will no longer see the color of my money.

Kwizinn was the best meal we had on our entire trip! Our server was very friendly and attentive, she went above and beyond to provide the best experience for us on our last night in Montreal. If i could give the atmosphere 6 stars i would!! The restaurant in the evening usually has amazing live music or a Dj. It has a fun, bustling atmosphere while maintaining its upper scale image. Me and my Fiance had never tried a Caribbean french fusion restaurant before and were pretty hesitant, but the menu was easy to follow and English-friendly for those who dont speak french. I had the lobster poutine, and the portions, and flavours were out of this world. It was overall an amazing experience, we will definitely be coming back

Arriving at the restaurant around 9:30 p.m., we sit outside. The waiter, very courteous, says he will be back in a minute. After 10 minutes we go back inside. He apologizes, menu in hand, he takes us back. However, we ask him to stay indoors. He accepts. A waitress, very friendly and attentive, directs us to our table. We quickly placed our order. Unfortunately, around 10:40 p.m., the waitress noticed that we still had not received our dishes and headed to the kitchen. After checking, she informed us that there had been an error in the kitchen, our dishes were being prepared immediately. She apologizes for this incident and says she will talk to the manager about it. She comes back and informs that the manager is offering us 3 shots. We refuse them! We were served around 11:00 p.m. This long wait took away our appetite. To our great surprise the food was cold and not at all to our taste (the djon djon rice was not djon djon, it clearly tasted like Maggi djon djon cube, very salty to taste). We express our dissatisfaction to the waitress. She goes back to see the manager, who, by the way, THROUGHOUT the situation is at the bar with acquaintances/friends chatting and taking shots without having taken the time to look at us once! The waitress comes back and mentions that the manager is subtracting $9 from our bill (total cost of around $130). We ask to speak to him. She refuses under the pretext of being busy . We pay the entire bill. One of us went towards her to talk to her, and expressed her contempt for us. She argues and raises her voice. She adds that she is not obliged to come see us considering that she got a discount and invites us to leave. She tries to hold back when she sees that she is being filmed. This altercation could have been avoided if the manager had a touch of professionalism!! Moreover, we see her take a shot during the filmed exchange.

My partner and I went there recently. Apart from the air conditioning which seemed a little weak, especially with the very hot weather, the food and service were impeccable. The atmosphere was pleasant, although we had to leave just before the DJ started his performance. We will definitely return.

If the service is bad, and disrespectful, just imagine the rest

I saw the video of the manager or owner on Facebook and I think that downgrading the restaurant would be a good thing because lack of respect is not a good thing with the public

The taste of the food was disappointing, the rice was salty and the maraconi was tasteless. The chicken is too lemony and lacks spice. The only thing I ended up liking was the tiramisu and the decoration.

The service and hospitality at this place was amazing but the food was worth less than what they price it. The djon djon rice was ok, had a random curry taste I didnt appreciate much. The steak was hard to cut but it tasted good. The shots were delicious. The space is so cute and well decorated. Ambience here is everything.

The manager has respect for her customers

I really enjoyed my experience

Very good portion! I adore

Super good!

We were looking for a nice restaurant that served Caribbean food. After seeing their Instagram page we chose this restaurant. The atmosphere and decor is very good, however the food is fusion type so we were disappointed by the lack of taste and the dishes we had (dry griot, no sauce to accompany the dish; the fish tasted unpleasant tangy; the composition of the very ordinary shrimp salad: unseasoned shrimp and more peppers than anything else). We had ordered a drink and asked to have the juice separated so that we could measure the cocktail ourselves and we were charged for the alcohol in addition to the juice. When we asked the waitress why she couldnt answer us. We will not return.

The food is to die for and the staff is very friendly. The restaurant is gorgeous, and the cocktails are great!! My to go place for a Carribean vibe. Food

It was average. My wife ordered the chicken, and they burned it. She said it was dry. It didnt look like what others had on their pics on here. They also didnt provide a half chicken, just wings and drumsticks. Felt like we didnt get value on our order here. I ordered the burger, and it was really good. The fries were the driest fries I ever ate in my life. It was unedible though. Overcooked was a regular theme with the food, even the plantains were dry. I didnt make for an enjoyable dining experince. Even the djon djon rice wasnt djon djon rice. We were confused at what we were served. The atmosphere was nice. I was thinking that Id come back and order the appetizer plate before the food came. I think Ill pass instead.

Our server visibly relaxed when we opened with Help us choose. Spicy is okay. Things went well from there. We ate light, choosing the pork griot and the mushroom empanadas. Both were very good, Solid wine list too. Well be back soon for a full meal.

Yo yo yo, the cuisine in this place is just I m from Central Africa and eating here felt like I was at home. It s a very modern touch on Afro-Carribean food.

Fall-off-the-bone kabrit! Where to begin? It was honestly such a fun night. The place looks amazing. Its very immersive and it feels like were entering a fancy grave. I loved the music by A$h Banks; it was top-tier selections nonstop! The food was so tasty, really well-seasoned and exceptional. Each dish was so unique and well-executed. We had 2 cocktails which were very delicious and potent! The mac & cheese was baked and creamy, and it didnt taste like water, as opposed to 99.9% of other places where they serve mac & cheese. It was really authentic and comforting. My discovery is the octopus carpaccio - let me tell you this one is a show stopper. SO fresh. And it was topped with a bruschetta-like sauce and focaccia. It was so unexpected and daring to compose a dish like that, but the tastes blended so well together, and it was also topped with mashed avocado. SO creative. I recommend this dish to everyone! The kabrit was G.O.A.T. It came with shishito peppers and it was literally the most tender kabrit I have ever tasted in my entire life. It just fell appart and melted like butter in my mouth. The griyo was outstanding! This dish is very authentic and simple, but it is executed exceptionally by Chef Mike Lafaille. The pikliz was pikliz! Very delicious and its just what you hope for and more. We also ordered allocco which was just a delight! They use the sweet, ripe plantain and it was such a perfect addition to our dishes. I find the the menu is ecclectic and unexpected, but there is definitely caribbean tastes and influence in every dish Ive tasted. I find it so rare to find fusion restaurants that make sense and Kwizinn makes sense! Its really well-executed and it was worth every penny. Dont go there without an open mind. Its truly an experience and they also do brunch and have fun events. I also appreciate that they were very family-friendly. We came with a baby and they didnt make us feel uncomfortable, which some fancy restaurants can sometimes make you feel like and inconvenience if you have a family or young baby, but it was not the case at Kwizinn. Its very welcoming. The service was great! I could feel the passion in every person who served us. It shows that they love what they do. They tended to our needs and were super friendly. I love that its a chic environment, but its also very warm and loving. A huge shoutout to Claudia who is such a great host and made me feel at home! This one is already a staple in the city. Its so worth it. I cant wait to go back and try more dishes. Im really proud that we have such an institution here in Montreal. Bravo to everyone involved! Fantastic experience. Will recommend and tell everyone. Parking: Theres a paid parking right beside the restaurant which is perfect! We didnt want a headache looking for parking so it was really nice and worth the 23$ for the night. And the valet was also really nice and helpful! Kid-friendliness: They didnt make us feel like an inconvenience because we had a baby. Im happy that baby got to experience Kwizinn with us, even in such a classy environment. Baby felt right at home!

Excellent all round. What a great discovery. We were happy to chat with John who was very friendly and who introduced us to his family. Tasty food and hearty meals. DJ also appreciated during our visit. Thanks for the tiramisu. We cant wait to go back. Well done

Great atmosphere and drinks! Fantastic drag show

Great twist on Haitian food. Very nice decor and music.

Beautiful place, super clean, super warm, I loved the food, the presentation, the atmosphere and very pleasant and the customer service at 150%. I recommend it very strongly.

Food was decent, bit pricy. Recommend the Bao and duck empenatas

Kwizinn Old Port is a disappointment compared to the previous location in Verdun. The service is slow, the cocktails are okay at best and the prices are sky high for the quality of food. The pork bao was tasty, the shrimp salad was below par and the tomahawk steak was average (quality of meat was not the best). The only saving grace is the ambience. They also don t have the Caribbean platter they had at the previous location.

The food its really tasty, well done and abundant. I love this place when it was in Wellington first and now in Old Port has a great space too! I didnt take pictures of the food, but believe me. Its really good!

Friendly staff but a little overwhelmed. Very good dishes but really expensive. We went there for the live Cuban music evening on a Sunday. The sound was too loud. Poor people who are in front of the enclosure. It should remain background music to let people talk. We re not at a concert at Mtelus.

Love the new location. Paid parking next door is very convenient. Waitress not as knowledgeable had to ask ( could be knew) Food was tasty. Nice portions. Would recommend Parking: Parking next to the restaurant, make sure to be early

Quite disappointed as a first experience. I will start with the positive, the service was very good (excellent server) and the atmosphere is good. I had a starter of cod accras for $20 which was not worth it at all (value for money). Then, I find it deplorable that the main dishes ($35-$50) do not come with a side of rice or plantains. You have to pay extra for a side dish ($6-$10). Besides, I was amazed at the price of the pikliz at $6 (note that a pot of pikliz for around ten servings sells for $7). In short, I understand that rent must be expensive in the old port, but these prices are not worth the quality of the food.

Best culinary experience in Montreal, I love the place, the atmosphere and the food is excellent! Its a must try.

I went here during F1 for a Saturday dinner. It was great. Service was excellent. Food was all delicious. They even had a great aged rum selection. When I visit MTL again I will be returning

Positive aspects: good service and clean place Negatives: Small dishes, they do not come with any additions and the taste was not to our liking. There were only 3 shrimp on the tray and the rest were just vegetables. Few options on the menu. And quite expensive compared to other restaurants in the sector.

With exquisite starters, no-pressure service, a warm atmosphere, all about spending a good afternoon with friends or one-on-one. Of course, it is more convenient to take the metro to get there.

It is good noir have own restaurant but i think better location would be in cote des neiges for them not here it is bad image for montreal when noir come 514plex i always send to my friend in cote des neiges there is good place for them

Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! We were finding it difficult to find a restaurant that would accommodate a group our size but they accepted. Perfect sized table for chatting, and we got the tasting menu and it was....well beyond our expectations. Great value, delicious and thoughtful service. Will be back.

Absolutely delicious food, great atmosphere, great music and excellent service! We enjoyed our time for sure!

A bit pricey but the food was really good. I had the plantain burger and that was one of the best burgers Ive ever had ! The sides are quite expensive for relatively small portions. Food

The food and the setting were good, very good service from Luigi who was very smiling and took care of us. Small problem: we paid the same price for the non-alcoholic cocktail as the alcoholic cocktail.

WOW!!! Restaurant to discover, the owners and their staff are welcoming and friendly. Great atmosphere and what about the food all was excellent. THANKS

My experience at Kwizinn yesterday was amazing. Was served by Maria and she was very helpful. Recommending items and wines that matched very well. Service, top notch, food, delicious. Highly recommend

I truly enjoyed eating at Kwizinn, from my appetizer to desert! The flavours and service were on point. The new location at Vieux-Port is truly the place to be if you are looking for Caribbean food in an upscale setting

The griot is insanely good. The kabrit was koupé dwet in other words excellent! The customer service was A1. I was more than impressed. Definitely will come back

Good food, but... .. only French menu card .. prices are deceiving; they recommend a side as well that cost close to a main elsewhere .. the plate size of the main would make it a small side elsewhere. Overall can not really recommend for anything but a snack

The food was good and the ambiance with the music was amazing. The service was on point

WELL WHERE TO START???I went there today with my girlfriend for the first time!! We were seated and served in less than 30 seconds! We didnt have to wait for the water! Then the waitress presents us the menu, and you have to see it to believe it but its a Haitian/Caribbean menu reinvented to perfection, its good because we find the tastes and flavors that we love but better!! We were treated to a live classical music band!! The decor is worthy of a gourmet restoration, you can see that the owner put in the time!! After his appearance on the cooking show on Prime and his stand at the Festival Latino at the Old Port in 2023, I was curious to visit his new establishment!! The waitress had small options with us, it was great!! As a starter, I recommend the BAO, it s mega good!! Overall we see that this is the beginning of the revolution in the Haitian culinary world in Montreal and I am very proud to have encouraged them!! Enjoy your meal everyone!! Parking: Paid parking is nearby, less than a 30-second walk

Everything we had from the market whole fish, Jamaican mushroom patties, to the Haitian appetizer were delicious! Thank you

Good atmosphere and food! The only negative (but that does quite impact the overall experience) is the service. Extremely slow waitress (and the restaurant wasnt packed). Took 15-20 minutes to get cocktails, and no water. We had to ask someone to give us some water after waiting for 20 minutes for someone to come to our table. We felt forgotten. I mean, the food is AMAZING and the live band was great - but the service ruins it. Then youre asked to tip 18% or more, makes no sense. Anyways, thanks for the great food and ambiance but please have your waiters be more attentive.

Got to enjoy this beautiful new location with a group of friends. We got to try many sharing plates. All were absolutely delicious. The cocktails were amazing, the atmosphere was very pleasant. A must try experience. We will definitely be back.

A great discovery, excellent welcome, original dishes and a reasonable price for the quantity!

Really flavourful and delicious food! The atmosphere was also gorgeous and I loved that there was a live DJ. The service though very nice, wasn t the most attentive and we found ourselves thirsty a lot and our drinks ended up coming after our meal arrived. But overall I still really enjoyed the experience!

Very good restaurant! The experience was very good and the food too. The service from our waitress was impeccable! Maria is the best!

My experience at Kwizinn is very good, all the service is amazing! The atmosphere too and the staff are very nice. My French is also very bad, but the staff helps me in English and a little in Spanish. Thank you so much!!

Amazing experience going to this restaurant. The DJ was great, staff and owner were super nice. Had a great time, would recommend! Food

Very good service. Extremely good food. Its really cheap for the experience. My new favorite restaurant.

I celebrated my birthday and everything was delicious! Very delicious drinks and I loved that combination of flavors.

Great place to eat with friends! Ask for Maria as your waitress, she s so bubbly and fun! Food

Came here for dinner last week. We tried a couple cocktails, chicken wings, the fried rice with shrimps, some extra fried pork and the lambi. The seasoning and cooking on every dish was on point. The lambi was a bit too spicy. Our favourite was definitely the fried rice. It comes on a grilled pineapple. Service and ambiance was just ok.

It was a great experience. food was good. nice ambiance.

Thank you for your excellent service. The food was an explosion of flavors congratulations definitely I recommend it

Best caribe ambiance and pretty cool drinks They have a good service too Service

The Haitian restaurant Kwizinn, nestled in the charming setting of the Old Port (311 rue Saint Paul Est), is a true gastronomic gem that will delight the most demanding palates. From the first bite of tomahawk meat, you will be transported by its deliciously juicy and flavorful taste. The perfect harmony between Caribbean seasonings and spices offers an incomparable taste experience. The griot and the weighed banana are exquisite and remarkable dishes that literally melt in the mouth. The fierce avocado was absolutely excellent. Each bite was an explosion of perfectly balanced flavors, showcasing the avocado in innovative and delicious ways. And what about desserts? An oh my god with every bite! Each sweet treat is a perfect marriage of spices and flavors, especially raspberry and coconut which will leave you with an unforgettable memory. Kwizinn is much more than just a restaurant, it is an authentic culinary experience that transports you directly to the heart of Haitian culture. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant to all lovers of inventive and quality cuisine.

Spicy brunch did that thang!!! Everything was perfect from the food to the service.

Love the updated decor, design and location. The upgrades definitely match the Old Port easthetics and the food is just as good. I wish they had kept the discovery/to share item but understand the concept changed. I would highly recommend for a date night, group event or if youre just curious and want to try new flavors!

Amazing service !

Amazing food, vibes and atmosphere. Already can t wait to be back!

Excellent Haitian food the chef is the best Haitian chef in Montreal, the vibe is Excellent too

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Kwizinn du Vieux-Port. In my opinion this place is overrated. The dishes were bland and the fish sauce was bitter when first tasted. Fortunately, the chef changed it later, which pleased me. The waitress, despite a few oversights, was friendly and handled the situation well. However, I found that the $75 per person menu would have been more appropriate for our group of 7, instead of the individual order that was required. turned out to be very expensive. Paying $8 for extra pikliz? Who does this in our community? At a minimum, make sure the service is of impeccable quality from start to finish. Unfortunately, I felt like this place and those who knew my cousins and family were not meant for me. Maybe the target clientele is from another community, who knows. For more than $200 per person, I expect a whole new level of service. My cousins, who knew the owner, told me they received a delicious grapefruit cocktail when they arrived. Having arrived later due to traffic, I would also have liked to taste this cocktail and learn more. When the owner walked past us, I said to him, as we had done earlier with my cousins: Hey friend! twice. However, he ignored me by turning his back as if he hadnt heard anything. In other words, I would under no circumstances recommend this place to my clientele, my friends or my family as a reference in cuisine Haitian. We are much friendlier and warmer, without contempt or ignorance... and especially not with a bill of $150 to $175 per person.

The best restaurant ever, super good food nice atmosphere and the service is amazing.

Great atmosphere and very good food

Best service from chef Omar

Incredible experience, we are regulars at Kwizinn Verdun and what a pleasure this experience is but in a setting worthy of old Montreal, varied music from the 90s which only makes us want to dance while eating. The food is excellent and better than many other restaurants of the same caliber. The owners are of incomparable kindness which only makes you want to go back to see them and spend the evening with them. Another 5 thumbs up! I recommend to everyone!

I have already been to the one in St-hubert, the one in Verdun and yesterday was the first time to the one in the Old Port. It was excellent!! The place is great! Classy! The service always impeccable. What can we say about the new menu, delicious and you will definitely come back to try something else. Once again Hats off to the new place!!!

I had the chance to taste the old Kwizinn in Verdun which was delicious! UNFORTUNATELY THE ONE FROM THE OLD PORT left me with a taste of DISAPPOINTMENT The food was COLD: lukewarm rice, soft bananas my goat was barely warm on the outside and cold on the inside and so tough it was impossible to eat it anymore there had 1 blonde curly hair in my plate unable!!!! The drinks ordered were terrible (cocoyé and a vegan rosé drink). They changed the formula and now all dishes must be ordered separately your main dish does not come with rice or anything else everything must be ordered individually even the sauces. The prices are incredibly high for what you get. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT! I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN! if you just want to have a good time with friends because you have nothing to do go there because the decor and the atmosphere are pleasant but if not AVOID!!!

Amazing experience! Friendly and attentive staff who gave a very nice service and the food was absolutely delicious! We tried different dishes and they were all flavorful and tasty, and you could tell that the ingredients were fresh and of good quality. Food

This place is a perfect 10/10. It s low key and unassuming. The service was great. The food delicious. And the vibe oh the vibe!! Absolutely on point. Husband and I went for a date night. We had a great time. Great to see how this restaurant has transitioned from the verdun location to the old port. Well definitely be back!

Worst customer service ever and so disappointed with the food. I have never been there before and I saw nice things about the restaurant so I decided to try it out. I called the restaurant 2 different times ( 3 days and couple hours before going )I told them it s my husband birthday and they should bring cake & candle when I ask for dessert, (which they offer to another customer while we were there). I asked for dessert couple times and they had no clue. I let it slide because I wanted to surprise my husband, i didn t want to spell it out that I wanted cake for him. Also we didnt enjoy the food and there is no point getting something we might not like. Only for me to pay and the lady that attend to us told me I was rude for not tipping. Why should I tip when I didn t enjoy my time or service there. Or did she complete my hours at work. Will definitely not step there EVER again.

This restaurant is not for those accustomed to Haitian food. It s for those who are discovering Haitian food and don t really have any expectations. The varied menu and the atmosphere are attractive. On the other hand, the cuisine is too diluted. My dish: The stuck rice did not have its original taste and in small portion. Half of the griot was pieces of fat. The salad and cabbage took up half the plate. For $25 it s too expensive to be dissatisfied. Good: The atmosphere, the decor Not so good: flavor, price

Have been many times and the food is always phenomenal. I always get the goat if I can. Their special menus are also always a treat. It s such a shame they re moving, Verdun is losing a real gem.

Good. The dish was wonderful. We were served quickly. The waitress was smiling. I advise you to try it

Kwizinn is one of the best restaurants in Verdun, and Montreal as a whole! It s always on the top of my list to bring family or friends who are visiting, or if I m just in the mood for huge portions of delicious food. My go to is the griot plate (or the banh mi, if I m hungry), and the wings are amazing! But, there hasn t been anything that I ve tried on the menu that hasn t been great. Mike, Claudia, and the staff are second to none for hospitality; they will make sure you have an amazing time! Oh, and by far, the best ti punch cocktail in the city

Very nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Excellent and tasty food! Excellent service, the employees are very friendly!! I felt like I had traveled to Haiti! The owner is really super nice and welcoming!! Thanks Mike!!

I went there for a dinner with friends and I was pleasantly surprised. Warm welcome, cozy atmosphere. I recommend the duck puff pastry, Un Delice

Excellent restaurant in Verdun. We chose the 2 tasting plates and it was more than delicious and very generous.

Went out with some friends for the night and wanted to try something new. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked. The staff was nice and served us with a big smile. We took the big platters, one meat and one fish and did not regret it. Its a bit pricey but worth it. Like and follow for more honest reviews

The food is just supremeeee, the taste is so good I love this place, the service and the ambiance.

Our dining experience encompassed an assortment of dishes, including jerk wings, oxtail, mac & griot, riz jon jon shrimp, griot ak riz collé et plantain, complemented by banana & coconut fritters with evaporated milk for dessert. The culinary journey was pleasantly surprising, marked by the exceptional flavor profiles of the jerk wings and the fritters, which stood out for their delectable taste. However, the oxtail dish did not meet our expectations. The preparation fell short, as the meat was tough and challenging to detach from the bone, detracting from the overall dining experience. Moreover, the serving consisted of merely two pieces of oxtail, which seemed disproportionate to the price point. A recommendation for future preparation would be the utilization of a pressure cooker to ensure the meat is tender and more enjoyable. While the portions were somewhat modest and the rice lacked moisture, these aspects did not significantly diminish the overall satisfaction with our meal. Despite some areas for improvement, the dining experience was noteworthy, and the establishment comes recommended. We look forward to revisiting and sampling more of their menu.

Beautiful ambiance, exceptional food. A must!
