This vibrant terrace spot by chef Paul Toussaint serves up lively pan-Caribbean cuisine, merging tradition with innovative island flavors.
"This pan-Caribbean restaurant from Montreal’s preeminent Haitian chef Paul Toussaint in the Place des Festivals downtown branches out of the trappings of tradition by employing the savoir-faire he honed at places like Toqué! Think dishes like passion fruit beurre blanc, conch gratin, and dombrey dumplings in coconut bisque. Don’t stress, though; Toussaint’s classic Agrikol recipes for classics like jerk chicken are still on offer." - JP Karwacki, Eater Staff
"Once Agrikol closed, all eyes turned to chef Paul Toussaint’s acquisition of the space formerly held by Taverne F, adjacent to Place des Festivals. Named after the Taino word for sun, this pan-Caribbean eatery aims to create the liveliness of a traditional island market, blending together regional cuisines as well as music, art, and culture." - Daniel Bromberg, Mallory Frayn
