The condiments were a little lighter and different, and no tortillas were served. The amount of rice and beans was a lot smaller than usual too.

The guacamole was delicious and the chips were lightly salted. Pooh's shrimp were tasty and the mango sauce was a nice addition without being too sweet The server was delightful; he taught us some Portuguese and told us to get off our phones and enjoy the food Our main dish was perfection. We asked for medium rare and we got it. The steak melted in our mouths; the beans mixed with the rice was divine and the cassava fries tasted like regular fries but much better This place is dynamite!! We will definitely return

The place is very small, just one table that will sit 2-3 people and about 5-6 high stools, where you can sit and eat by the window. 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.

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!

We went on weekday evening and it was somewhat quiet when we went in but filled up. It is a hip spot but not stuffy and they take food and service very seriously--my favorite kind of spot. We have young kids who behave pretty well and we didn't feel out of place. We had a bit of a wait between courses but nothing that soured us on experience. The food was absolutely delicious. Best meal I have had in recent years. Freshness. Flavors. Inventiveness. Really remarkable. Everything was so well presented that my kids tried all kinds of things they might never usually. I say this as a testament to how appetizing everything looked and tasted. Of course I loved it all too--haha. I would be a regular at this place if we lived in Montreal. Go there!

I asked to see a menu then ordered something to share (as in "we'll have dinner elsewhere") and before I knew it, I was full, happy, hadn't left my seat, and the evening was over. Welcome to night one in Montreal. With it's twinkly lights and street-facing al fresco seating, someone has turned Josephine into one of the more attractive offerings along this stretch of Rue Saint-Denis. I'd considered several other spots on the same stretch of road but Josephine got my vote. It felt very Parisian in its elegant simplicity. The kitchen here creates artful dishes. Sashimi Crudo was pretty as a painting and subtle in its flavors. A Grilled Artichoke was so lovely that it caused me to order up a side of Focaccia to mop up anything that might've otherwise been left on my plate. The service here is friendly and approachable which came as a bit of a welcome surprise in a place whose kitchen is clearly big league. As I left it was suggested that we'd certainly be back again but Montreal is a big city; maybe next time.

You are welcomed so warmly by the staff, always helpful but NEVER intrusive. Honestly makes you feel like you are at a Louisiana local neighbourhood Chow-Down, as friend not a patron. Love that about La Lou. Last night's dinner started with a Hurricane, for me and a spicy Caesar for my partner. The Hurricane was delicious, a perfect blend of fruit juices and rum, I could drink these and nothing else, for the rest of my life. My partner reported the Caesar was perfect, from the mix to the spicy bean garnish. Our appetizers were Hush Puppies (of course) and Crab Cakes. The Hush Puppies were little balls of flavour, texture and taste, prepared to perfection. The crab cakes had the crispy exterior and soft, savoury and delicious interior. Love the presentation. I should have taken photos but I was too interested in devouring these little jewels. My partner ordered the Meat Jambalaya, he was blown away by the perfect seasoning, combination of the ingredients, Andouille sausage, smoked ham and chicken. He says he highly recommends this dish. Ordinarily, I go with the blackened fish of the day, but this visit I thought I would try Lou's Famous Fried Chicken. There is a reason it is "Famous". The chicken was juicy and tender, the coating was crisp and delicious. It came with a side of seasoned fries, delicious and tender. We desperately wanted the incredible Bananas Foster dessert but there was no way we could eat another bite, so we finished off with 2 BB King specialty coffees. You have to try one, if you go; delicious! Again, I forgot photos! Coffee, Bailey's and darned if I can remember the other ingredients. They are listed on the menu. All this to say that if you are visiting Montréal - this is a "Must visit" destination. We live 65 kms away and gladly brave the traffic to avail ourselves of this little treasure chest of Louisiana flavours.

Apparently this place has been around for about 35 years along with other spots in this neighborhood. I was starving so we ordered right away and asked for sweet potato fries. They came out super hot since the kitchen was just a few steps away. They had a very flakey flour coating and were delicious with the sauce. The paneed chicken with creamy green peppercorn sauce was good with the garlic mashed potatoes. Not bad but kind of expensive for what it was. As for the meat jambalaya, it seemed a bit skimpy on the meats... Just a few pieces of sausage, ham and chicken. Good tomato based sauce. Overall food to price value is a 4/5.
