El sancocho is the best soup ever. Morongo with fried pork. El meson dominicano is the best Latin restaurant in Canada.

We were there for a family dinner, the appetizer was soooooo delicious! We ordered Canastikas platano! With fried pork! My goodness! You have to try it! I didn’t have snapper fish for so many years! Because it’s bony fish but I risked it! I’m so happy that I did! It was crispy like chips! Even the bones! Deliiiicious! The rice and salad were good too! The passion fruit drink was lovely tasting like heaven! Also, our server, she was the sweetest! Apparently they have kareoke every Fridays 7-9 ! Maybe you can enjoy the food and kareoke in a positive cozy resturant in the neighborhood. I recommend this place for sure!

Everything was divine from the ambiance to the music to the lovely waitress/restaurant owner who happily explained every menu item to me in thorough detail. These people take great passion in their business and that part of Gatineau is very lucky to have such a lovely establishment on one of their most main streets.

I came here craving Colombian food and was so happy to find a menu that felt like home. We ordered the tilapia, churrasco, and chicharrón, and everything was absolutely delicious. The tilapia was perfectly cooked, the churrasco was juicy and full of flavor, and the chicharrón was crispy and exactly how it should be. Every dish tasted fresh and well made. The portions were generous, and the experience was warm and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m craving comforting Latin food.

Good food, I order the chicharrón and the size of it was a meal of is own for an appetizer I was impress compare to other place that offer a small size. I also ordered the Bandera Dominicana beef plate and it was pretty good the beef was excellent. I was so full I could not finish the plantain lol. I recommend El Meson Dominicano for anybody that want to try Dominican style food.
