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!!!!

My favorite cousin and I both have recent high school grads and took them on a trip to Montreal as…read morea grad gift. 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!

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.

Hole-in-the wall, I almost couldn't find the restaurant due to the street construction. There's no…read moredine-in, it's take-out only. 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.

My only complaint is the food portion for the price you pay is quite small compared to other places I've been to. Overall, it's a good option if you're near the area.
