Piklìz

"Pikliz might be easy to miss, tucked just off Saint-Henri’s main culinary drag, but it’s worth seeking out. Since opening the place in 2019, the Acacia brothers have channeled their Haitian roots into every corner of the cozy space with family photos, homey decor, and Caribbean beats. Their griot poutine — loaded with juicy, pulled griot, Creole-spiced gravy, and pikliz for some tang — has won over many, but don’t sleep on their marinated-and-then-fried kabrit (goat), crispy plantains, spicy mango chicken wings, djondjon rice, banana donuts, or fruity cocktails." - Valerie Silva

"Piklìz, run by the Acacia brothers, is renowned for its griot poutine with Creole-spiced gravy and marinated pork, crowned with their signature hot pink pikliz. Opened in 2019, it has won over the Saint-Henri community. The restaurant is decorated with family photos and tropical decor, offering a welcoming atmosphere." - ByValerie Silva

"First starting as a pop-up run out of a Saint-Henri café, it didn’t take long for its Haitian-Quebecer owners Akim and Abdel Acacia take over the address. Named after the piquant Haitian condiment, their steady menu of Haitian beef patties, creole shrimp, griot wraps, and pulled griot poutine, among other specialties, is as delicious as it is reliable." - JP Karwacki, Eater Staff

"While numerous Caribbean restaurants dot the streets of this southwestern neighbourhood, perhaps none stands out more than Pikliz. Located just steps from the Place-Saint-Henri metro station, it features dishes like griot (tender cubes of marinated and fried pork), crispy Creole shrimp, and classics like plantains and guacamole." - Daniel Bromberg, Eater Staff
