Meli-Melo Market

20 years going to this place and today was the final time. Maybe they are making so much money that they do not care to offend customers. You have to order and pay for your food before getting it in this place. So I was waiting in line like a civilized person. There were several black men in front of me and a black woman behind me. After several of the men in front of me paid, the women behind me just barged in front and went ahead of me. Even more egregious, the cashier allowed it even though I was appalled, looked him in the eyes and lifted both my arms. Since I was the only non black person in the store at that moment, I cannot help but feel that it was racial favoritism. I left the store right away and went to the Vietnamese restaurant nearby. It's not like 20 years ago. I can find many other Caribbean restaurants now.

The food is pretty good. The rice with beans and the fried plantain banana are my favorite dishes and I am always dreaming about them. Depending on the time of the day the meat might get dry, but the rice is always good. The portions are big, so one order can serve 2 to 3 servings.

I ate a lot of griot when working in Haiti. This one is excellent! Portions are very generous and include all the trimmings: rice (djondjon, collé, blanc), banan pese, sauce, pikliz, ... add an order of akra to this.They also have t'assoit, lambi, ... everything to make you feel in Haiti.

Terrible customer service! The ladies who prepare the food should take a course on how to treat their customers. They are very disrespectful and have no manners. You can't even ask them a simple question. I will not be coming here again and I do not recommend this place. There are so many better Haitian restaurants than this place.

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.

The filet de poisson was so perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. Big portions, quick service, highly recommend.

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.

it’s the first time trying Haïtien food. By looking at the ratings, I bought Porc, rice and banana pâtes as suggested by the owner. I must say it’s one of the horrible foods that I have eaten. Porc is dried and couldn’t even chew it, no taste, felt like puking it. Would never visit and I don’t recommend.

I went in today after a recommandation. As some other previous comments the customer service is seriously lacking. I don’t know Haitian cuisine so I was asking the cashier what the dishes are and the whole time I felt like I was bothering her. She told me “beef Tasso” was “Griot” but with beef, and didn’t even bother explaining the different sizes. I don’t even know if it’s true but what I ate today was nothing like the griot I had before. A few slices of an extremely dry meat, I couldn’t even finish the dish, and to top it all I paid 27.50$ for that plate + an accra (Aran kind of who she said was 5$! For a single accra!). Very disappointed.
