Marché Meli-Melo - Montreal, Quebec

This has to be one of the best haitian food restaurants I've ever been too. 5 stars all the way. The flavors are amazing and its always fresh. I've been going there for years and I love them. Sometimes there's a bit of a line up, so be prepared to wait, ... but It's worth it believe me :) Read more

This is the spot for a good authentic haitian dinner. Highly recommended. We love it. Will definitely return. Food was fresh. You can see the cooks. I have a haitian background living in Toronto. It's hard to find authentic haitian food that isn't an infusion in Toronto. So i came ... to Montréal where i know a lot of haitians will be and brought my bf with a jamaican background to try authentic haitian food. We were not disappointed. We had diri djon djon (mushroom blk rice) with griot (fried pork). And diri kole ( haitian rice and peas) with tassot de cabrit( fried goat meat) My bf loved it. I loved it. Was not disappointed. If you love rice. This is the spot. The rice portions was large. The meat was juicy. I forgot to ask for pikliz was happy it was a add on but small. Wish I knew, could've paid for it to get extra. Fried plantain was an add on..macaroni salad was an add on. Food was freshly cooked. You can also buy mini groceries. Seen some few haitians items. I've gotten the Djon djon maggie and the Natural djon djon to cook since it's my bf favorite and it's very hard to find. It's expensive for the Natural djon djon. small for $10. CON: for non french or creole speakers: There are no directions. I speak a little haitian Creole. The staff was nice. We ordered and paid for the food at the cashier. We were handed a paper with the food we selected and paid for. Took it to the back. There is no sigh to line up. But we had sense to lined up..we handed the staff the paper who was preparing the food. Little seating area for a quick bite and go. It gets busy and crowded. We were there for the food only and not the ambiance. We were not disappointed. Read more

I visited this Haitian restaurant in Montreal several years ago, thanks to a recommendation from a dear friend. Back then, my experience was fantastic. The service was satisfactory, the portions were generous, and the food itself was incredibly tasty. I often made it a point to stop by this place ... before heading back to my town. However, over the past 5 to 6 years, I've observed some noticeable changes in the level of customer service and the overall layout of the restaurant. It seems that the owners have missed an opportunity to enhance their profits by not considering the logistical aspects of the establishment. There's room for improvement in this regard. One of the major changes I noticed is the declining level of customer service. The staff appears to lack the same level of care and dedication they once had. During a recent visit, I brought some friends to experience the authentic Haitian cuisine. Unfortunately, I encountered an unpleasant situation when I had to return to the front cashier to make a change to my order, despite clearly specifying my desired rice type. The staff in the kitchen were rude and insisted that it wasn't on the receipt, instructing me to go back to the front to pay for it. This encounter left a sour taste in my mouth. Furthermore, upon reaching home and indulging in my meal, I noticed a decline in the quality of the food, particularly the beef. As a lover of the “Legume”, I've been consistently disappointed by the dish at this restaurant in recent times. I truly hope the owners take note of these customer concerns and consider making changes to enhance the overall experience. It would be wonderful if they paid attention to reviews like these. I believe there are customers like myself who long for a return to the delicious food and enjoyable dining experience that this restaurant once offered. Read more

Food is affordable, tasty and the portions are generously served the few times I've ordered (3-4x). It's better calling before going to be sure there's enough fresh food. Man answering the phone is not friendly at all and has 0 customer service. He refused to take my order even though the usual ... lady is ok in preparing the plates a bit in advance (since there's only street parking). Not really a place to dine in cuz the tables are quite small. Place could definitely use some improvements and be more clean. Read more

My coworker bought the pâtés kodés for us a while back and last Saturday I just had a craving. First time visiting, it was a bit chaotic. For first timers, you need to order at the register first and they give you the order paper which you present in the back. There was ... not enough pâtés so the food lady asked me if I can wait for 15mns which I did. I also got the fried fish plate with the rice... The fish was so well seasoned and the pâtés were so good...And the lady at the register is so nice, not only with me but all the customers. Going back today... Mind you, I live in Laval 😅 Read more
