What to eat this week: The pan-Caribbean menus of Kamúy for two |
 |
We’re all about Paul Toussaint’s spot at Time Out Market Montréal, but now he’s upped the ante by offering menus for two from his latest project Kamúy: Ranging from $45 to $60, there’s options like accras platters with griot, jerk chicken and shrimp, or—our personal favourite—the ‘Menu Soleil’ that features Haitian tamales along with a conch dumpling dish that’s perfect for the colder months. Available for a limited time,
you’d better get it while it’s hot.
Thinking of staying in? We’ll send dishes from the best chefs of the city to you. Find out how to get delivery from Time Out Market Montréal right here. |
