  • I hate to spoil the party here, but I have to say that this was the worst restaurant experience of my time in Montreal. I must preface this sad review with the note that I was so super excited to eat here, I looked forward to coming for days and days while we had other obligations. But this place was a huge disappointment. The first problem we encountered was showing up at 8:30 PM. I admit I like to dine late, but Montreal is a late city - I have never heard of a resto closing so early. The problem was their website and door said they close at 9. But the owner, who was really nice and yet surly at the same time, said he could not seat us because they were closing at 9. So days went buy until I could return. I was really excited about the idea of having French-ethnic food...something Montreal should specialize in. But I later found out that this restaurant serves food from Guyana, not French Guyana - so it is actually a British colony. And we all know how British food is. Maybe that explains what we found - some of the most bland, tasteless, unspiced food I have ever eaten. This was not Caribbean food that I am familiar with; I worked one summer in Canarsie, Brooklyn - a huge Trinidadian community, where I dined on splendid roti every lunchday...beautifully spiced, wonderfully tasty food. I Not here. To be fair, we are vegetarian, and only had the chick pea and potato roti and main course (which was exactly the same, sans roti)...and I heard some repeat customers come in after us and order it with pumpkin. Apparently this is off-menu. And they did provide a bottle of hot sauce on the table. But the problem is that the hot sauce is too damn hot...and the food itself unspiced...so you have a choice of burn-your-mouth spicy or tasteless. And because I can't review a place without talking about atmosphere - they make an attempt here but it is a kind of pathetic one. The cheap chairs and formica tables aren't that bad, but a flashing sign in the window that reflects into the restaurant makes you feel as if you are dining beneath a peep show sign. It's that annoying.
