I’m from London, Ontario, and really wanted to try Haitian food for the first time while visiting Montreal. Resto Chez Garha Grillade Créole came highly recommended, especially from people's reviews who said it reminded them of home-cooked meals in Haiti. After reading that, I felt like this had to be the place for my first experience. The staff told me the meal would put me into a “food coma”—and they weren’t wrong. As I ate, I felt an instant wave of relaxation. I put on some konpa, and between the music and the food, I had an incredible time. The lovely woman working there guided me through the menu, and I decided on the griot with riz djon djon and a side of pikliz. The combo came with griot, djon djon rice, plantains, pasta, a fresh salad layered over the pasta, and a rich, flavourful broth-like sauce. Beyond combo platters, they also offer creative options like griot or chicken poutine, along with authentic Haitian dishes such as pâtés (stuffed pastries with beef, cod, or chicken) and lalo avec riz (lalo with rice). The spot itself is tucked in the back of a dépanneur, conveniently located on Rue Jean-Talon. I don’t know when I’ll be back in Montreal, but I’ll definitely be returning to Resto Chez Garha Grillade Créole on my next visit. Thank you for introducing me to Haitian food and culture

Mezanmiiiii best Haitian food I’ve had since coming to Montreal!!! Pou jan ‘m te bezwen on manje konsa. Truly authentic Haitian food, that is so so good you will not regret. And they give you big portions too for a very good price!!!! I found it by chance on Uber and decided to try it because I had a good feeling about it. I was not let down, if anything my expectations were surpassed. I’ve been looking for a good Haitian restaurant since leaving Haiti and coming here and honestly this is The closest thing to the taste of back home that you can get in Montreal, like I’m being so serious. Amazing food, amazing people, amazing service. I’m definitely a new (and now loyal) customer starting today🥹🫶🏽. Ke bondjye Beni nou, God bless!!!! 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹

It was my first time trying Haïtien food and it was so good. I've never tried plantain and never thought I would ever enjoy it , I loved it so much I'll be getting it more often. The chicken was spicy and juicy and a perfect amount for the plate. And the bean rice was very tasty, it came with a sauce. For the small size it was very big 100% recommend to try.

The griot and grilled chicken plates were great and they give large portions.

I was in Montreal recently and had the pleasure of trying the food at Resto Chez Garha. The dishes were absolutely delicious—full of flavor and beautifully prepared. I highly recommend it if you’re in the area!

I ordered for the first time and had a terrible experience. I ordered Haitian patties, but what I received was so hard it felt like a rock from the street—definitely not what I expected. I also asked for white rice, but instead, I was given sticky rice without anyone asking if it was okay to make the change. Honestly, this was the worst experience I’ve had. I'M HAITIAN AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL.

My Family ordered take-out from this restaurant as we stayed in a nearby hotel. Firstly, the server lady who received our order was very kind and effective in helping us decide the best options with our order. Secondly, the food was delicious, flavorful, and authentically made Haitian food! The sides elevated the meal experience and my family truly enjoyed our meal. We did not wait long far the food and the delivery man was very kind as well. Thank you!
