25 Best Restaurants in Montreal | Condé Nast Traveler

"Kwizinn is a fun, brightly-lit space serving up Haitian favorites. The vibes here are Caribbean in all the right ways; flavors are luscious, meats slow-cooked, and sauces on the spicier side—that's how these recipes were passed down to chef-owner Michael Lafaille. Specialties include: tassot cabrit (marinated goat); cubed, marinated griot pork; authentic, steaming-hot Haitian accra fritters; deep-fried crispy red snapper; and, this being Montreal, a Haitian take on poutine made with plantains and lobster. Even if you're not a big dessert person, make sure to try the house made donuts, served with a big dollop of mascarpone banana cream. They're simply out of this world. The fun atmosphere, indulgent plates, and abundance of rum punch makes this a perfect launching point for a fun-filled night exploring Verdun." - Todd Plummer, Isa Tousignant
