This spot is pure vibe! From the moment we walked in, the energy was everything good music, warm lighting, and staff that make you feel like family. The food? Was really good. Every bite is packed with flavour and soul — you can taste the love and energy . The griot was tender, the cocktails were on point( wap sou lol) , and the presentation was dope too. Kwizinn isn’t just a restaurant it’s an experience. Perfect place to eat, laugh, dance a little, and just enjoy life. If you’re looking for somewhere in Montreal with good energy, good people, and food that hits every time, this is THE spot oh and the area too, lovely !. 🔥💃🏾🍹
The best!! The service is always 10/10, the staff is super friendly, attentive and make every visit feel special. The food is consistently amazing, they have such great cocktails, mocktails, and vegetarian options too. I’ve been here many times and it never disappoints. Definitely one of my go to spots and I’ll always keep coming back!
Everything about this restaurant is just WOW! The food is mouth watering; from flavor to presentation and even variety, it was just perfect. Every cocktail I had was gorgeous and well balanced! They even offer tasty mocktails for those who don’t drink. The staff is so kind and the service is quick! Need I mention that there was a soul/jazz band there playing live music?! The ambience is wonderful and I highly recommend for all ages. Would be perfect for a date night or even a night out with friends. A true gem!
First time visiting Kwizin since it moved to the Old Port. Wow! Everything!! The service, the atmosphere and most importantly, the food. It was absolutely delicious. The oxtail Jamaican patty is a MUST! Such a flaky dough with a tender and creamy meat filling. The (sweet) homemade ketchup pairs perfectly with it. For the main, we LOVED the plantain burger. Again, the dish is so well thought and balanced. The cheesy sauce adds an amazing flavour and extra moisture, it’s finger licking good. Finally, the beignets were a pleasant surprise. Like a warm crispy donut with a sweet glaze drizzle on the plate. Will definitely go back! Ultimate date spot.
Amazing! Vibe, decor, food, cocktails were all perfect! The octopus carpaccio was absolutely delicious!!! So much so that we went back a second time. It was the BEST dish we had during our stay in Montreal. I’m still thinking about it! We also had the griot which was very flavorful and not too fatty. Highly recommend Kwizinn! You’ll eat well and feel happy doing it!
