Restaurant Steve Anna has been holding it down in Saint-Michel since 1985, long before Haitian cuisine started making waves outside the island. What began as a humble épicerie and snack bar has grown into one of the neighbourhood’s most beloved Haitian restaurants—still family-run, still fiercely local, and still serving some of the best riz collé in the city.

The menu is packed with classics: griot crisped just right, spicy tassot beef or goat, fried chicken wings, and seasonal specials like lambi (conch) or riz djondjon on request. Every dish is built on slow-cooked tradition—house marinades, fresh daily prep, and recipes handed down from generation to generation. It’s the kind of spot where regulars grab the same order every week, and new visitors instantly feel like they’ve been welcomed into the fold.
