Lloydie's St-Viateur — Restaurant in Montreal

We really didn’t like the food here. The cashier didn’t tell us they ran out of plantains. The macaroni was cold dry tasteless overcooked noodles, the texture and taste were so off. None of the food was fresh, they brought it out in 2 seconds everything is already prepared and stored. The rice and beans were overcooked, so everything was mushy, old. The oxtail was way too fatty, the pork was so dry. I was so disappointed with my dinner. This costed 60$. We are still trying to find a good Caribbean restau

Ps- I find it hilarious to read the other reviews and seeing the same kind of disrespectful replies from the business owner, they do not take any criticism and that’s why this business will fail. The biggest joke is how the owner and cashier are creating fake accounts running on only 1 positive review for Lloydie’s saying how great the service from the cashier is after a genuine real person had a terrible experience with her service. Love the way this works, for every real 1 star review, 3 fake 5 star reviews will be added to keep the overall stars over 4/5. Lloydie’s please keep your disrespectful answers and horrible food for yourselves. There’s no place to treat paying customers looking for a good meal like this, simply because you can’t provide it. I have professionally emailed you my concerns and you haven’t replied or removed your hurtful answer to my review. Do you think I wanted to come here pay 60$ and be disgusted by the quality of the food? No - if your macaroni and cheese and meat were fresh, tasty and amazing I would have said it!!! Why would you think otherwise? It is so bizarre and lame to act like a child over bad reviews. I have left many good reviews and I would do so if your place was any good. Respectfully. Also a hot dog and McDonald’s and my at home cooking would taste 1000000x better than your 100 year old food and would cost a fraction of the price, so who are you really...

I’ve had the veggie plate in the past and it was great, hot, full of flavour, big portion, fresh and came with hot sauces you could add on. I went yesterday and the portion was smaller but not small so not the big issue. The big issue was the plantain was cold so at first I thought this was a bit of a disappointment but I’ll keep eating it. Next bite did not taste fresh. Gave some to my friend to try, she liked it but also found it tasted like mold. Tried another bite, even more moldy I was afraid to swallow. Next bite, very mushy. After I was done eating I told the 2 staff working there about my experience with the plantain and advised them to not serve it to more customers in the very least. They replied “nothing wrong with the plantain, tastes fine, we made it today.” I said “you may have made it today but you’ve left it out cold and bacteria can grow.” They said “we made it today so it’s probably just the seasoning. But thanks well tell our manager tomorrow. If you have an issue you can reach out to our manager.” And didn’t do anything about it. I was really annoyed with the low quality of service because I used to love this restaurant and don’t want it to stay like this. Would be such a waste if this issue continues and isn’t dealt with immediately. Not even an hour later I got a stomach ache and it lasted like 2-3 hours. Rest of the food was great though.. wouldn’t be so hard to...

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. In my opinion, the food did not taste fresh during my visit — particularly the macaroni and pork, which I personally found very dry and unappetizing. Unfortunately, I ended up not finishing my meal at all.

The overall atmosphere wasn’t welcoming either. I felt that the staff were not very friendly, and I perceived some uncomfortable facial expressions that made the dining experience less enjoyable even though it was for a take out. Of course, everyone can have a bad day, but it didn't feel very professional to me at the time.

Looking back, I wish I had paid more attention to other reviews that reflected similar experiences. I understand that no restaurant is perfect, but I believe constructive criticism can help improve service. But it seems like the owner doesn't agree on that point ethier.

In my personal experience, this place did not meet my expectations, especially given how many great restaurants of similar cuisine are available in Montréal. I left feeling disappointed, and I don’t see...
