Restaurant Kamúy

This is a little gem you must try. It might look like a tourist trap but it is not. The food is delicious, generous, colorful, flavorful and you need to try their cocktails! In the heart of place-des-arts, right before (or after) a show, it is a great option. Last time, we went for only three plates for two and we had plenty! Get the accras; the plate is to share and so generous with 10 variations. Delicious. The half jerk chicken is a classic for a reason (get it spicy!) and we enjoyed the griot. Every time I try something different and never been disappointed.

We were there for the jazz fest performance at 7:30, a perfect location and we were happily surprised at the quality of the food, drinks and service as we had never been before. Every dish had its own special taste but the hummus for me was wonderfully different. Service was friendly and accommodating. I would definitely return. Thanks for a wonderful evening.

We tried this place for Mtlatable and the location is unique and off the main part of the street. The ambiance is very nice however a little hard to see menu as it was very dark inside with only one small candle on the table. The servers are nice and the chef was also present to make sure customers were enjoying their experience. We ordered from the 50$ menu which had a 3 course meal, appetizer, main and dessert. The appetizer I had was the jerk shrimp, I didn’t taste the jerk and cabbage was a little undercooked. The main course I had lamb stew but as you can see from the picture it was quite raw and I did not enjoy at all. I was offered another main in its place. The dessert was basic but good, reminded me of an undercooked brownie. I did enjoy the place but I don’t think I would go back.

Food was good. The place is a bit small, so reservation is recommended. Server was a bit forgetful, but everyone was nice. Update July 2025: there can be a wait for their bathroom as one is broken. Also, during festival season after 7pm, they only have a 70$ menu option. The terasse is great during festival season, though it can be difficult to hear each other if you want to talk

Food was spot on. Very clean non greasy. The pork was on point and the fact I got to have a Canadian dish in Pountine with a Haitian twist was an awesome experience. The drinks were nice and strong something Montreal lacks when it comes to booze. The staff was nothing but nice to my wife & young daughter. Thanks for the memories.

Pan-Carribean food met my high expectations and standards. Ceviche, GRIOT and the jerk chicken were wonderful. The server was accommodating, informational and dynamic enough for you to trust his judgement. Overall, a great experience. Will be back for more.

I was disappointed with the food at this restaurant. I ordered the chicken, but it turned out to be a small, bony bird that was clearly reheated — part of the meat was even cool. It felt overpriced for what I got. I also specifically asked for my food not to be spicy, but the rice that came with the dish was spicy enough to make me sweat — definitely not what I expected. I wanted to order a beer, but they were out, and the server offered me a cocktail “similar to beer.” Unfortunately, it was just rum with soda and lime, and I didn’t enjoy it at all. That one’s partly my fault for not asking what was in it, but overall the experience was underwhelming.

Sooo good! Food was delicious, staff were super nice and helpful, and the restaurant itself is beautiful with great vibes. Everything we got was amazing, but I especially recommend the griot and pork shank. Note about the pork shank though—it says to share for 2 but it’s a big portion and quite rich (hard to tell from the picture). I think it’s good to share between 3-4 people if you get some tapas as well. Loved this place!!
