ICI CRÉOLE

Excellente nourriture haïtienne, vaut vraiment la peine

Very nice discovery, the best plantains are here.

I discovered this place randomly by driving on Cartier. First wasn’t sure but I told myself with a name like Ici Créole, it must be authentic and good.
First, the plantains are amazing and fresh! I think that they chose the right green plantains and make sure the oil is in good condition. Secondly, props on the macaroni salad, not too creamy! Third, the griot, it’s not too crispy but it’s all good! Not too much fat either not skin! The porc is well washed and you don’t get any porky taste. Finally the Riz Collé is good but nothing out of this world.
One note, the pikliz is not spicy enough and it’s not marinated enough. It tastes like Dominican cabbage salad. I’ll definitely be back to taste the Légume dish (Haitian way of making a sort of Ratatouille).
Overall the plantain were soooo good that it makes up for the 3/5 star pikliz. I know many of us griot lovers don’t think too much of the plantains but trust me, it does make a difference!

Excellent partout! Essayez les papitas...ça vaut le détour...

My two nephews both devoured their plates especially the chicken . All and all the food was amazing can't wait to eat here again.

La nourriture est excellente. Et la portion est très généreuse. La place est très propre!!
