the doubles and the caribbean soup and bake are absolutely delicious. my grandma used to make a pot of it and bring us her homemade soup all the time, she is older now and is losing her memory so we haven’t tasted it in a quite a while. i’m confident to say that the soup satisfied my craving tonight thank you!

This place deserves to be talked about properly and this review is LONG overdue. A couple of months ago, my wife, my daughter and I went to MQC and met Sister Alice. Let me just say that she’s amazing and what they've been doing there for years is real community work, not theory. The kind you don’t see on social media, because she’s too busy actually serving people. I’ve driven past that building on that road in Châteauguay more times than I can count and never realized what was going on inside. That was a miss. MQC isn’t just “a spot to eat.” It’s an actual community hub hiding in plain sight. The food is Caribbean and it’s excellent. Think Jamaican and Trinidadian influences, cooked like someone actually cares about the person who’s going to eat it. It’s warm, seasoned properly (spicy = spicy, just like we love it!), portions make sense, and you can tell it’s made for people, not for Instagram. My family loves this type of food and I have to say, it's the best that I have ever had. According to Sister Alice, lunchtime is when MQC shows what it really is. Kids from different situations come through, sit together, and treat the place with respect. They help each other, they don’t trash the space, and they understand that this is somewhere built for them. That kind of behavior doesn’t happen if the adults in the room aren’t setting a clear tone. She’s the one creating that structure. Her approach is simple: everyone who walks in should feel like they have a place at the table. She learns their names, checks in, and makes sure nobody leaves hungry. It’s care, but it’s also discipline. That’s why the kids respond to it. Sister Alice explained MQC's concept while we waited and how it allowed so many kids to get a great meal. What stood out in her stories is that these aren’t “problem kids.” They’re normal kids from Châteauguay who just need somewhere safe and affordable to eat, close to school and close to home. MQC gives them that. It’s right by the police station, not far from Billings, so it’s accessible. For some of them, this is the place that tells them they matter. That’s why the meal structure matters. One full-price meal helps subsidize a meal for a student at $0.25. For the paying family, it’s negligible. For the student, it’s food security and dignity. It turns a small purchase into direct impact. So the point isn’t just that MQC serves good Caribbean food. It’s that it anchors a piece of the community. It turns a restaurant into a support system. And that only works if people keep showing up. We plan on doing this regularly because not only does it help our community but the food here is really phenomenal. We bought a bunch of things to try as many items as we could and the whole family was amazed at how good it was. I can't wait to try the oxtail and goat!!! Thanks Sister Alice for everything you do and see you soon!

Have you ever walked into a place and instantly felt at home, not because of who you are, where you come from, or what you look like, but simply because of the kindness and energy that surrounds you? That’s the feeling I get every time I step into Melody Québec Canada (MQC). I’ve driven up and down that road countless times, never realizing the gem hidden behind those doors. It wasn’t until recently that I stepped inside and discovered this underrated treasure of our community filled with heart and authenticity. Yes, the food is Caribbean—and honestly, who doesn’t love Caribbean food? Miss Aliss brings together the bold flavors of Jamaican and Trinidadian cuisine. But MQC is more than a restaurant. It’s a gathering place. At peak lunch hour, when the kids stream in, you see the magic unfold. Kids of all ages, from all walks of life—different schools, backgrounds, and experiences—laughing together, helping each other, sharing tables, and even tidying up before they leave, without being told. It’s a living picture of what community can be when kindness leads the way. Yes, the food is incredible—comforting, homemade, and full of love. But what makes MQC truly special is the sense of belonging it offers. The woman who runs it pours kindness into every plate and every interaction. She makes sure everyone—kids and adults alike—feels seen, valued, and cared for. That doesn’t happen without effort. It takes volunteers, sometimes just an extra pair of hands for an hour or two at lunch, to keep things running smoothly. And every helping hand is received with gratitude. What moved me most were the kids themselves. Respectful, joyful, looking out for one another. They are not the “lost generation” some people talk about. These are kids who walk the same streets we drive down on our way to the office, to teach and to serve in this community. Just steps from the Châteauguay police station and within walking distance of Billings high school, they find a place that welcomes them, feeds them, and reminds them they matter. Supporting MQC for our family means committing to 1 meal a week. And here’s the beauty: for every full-price meal, a child gets to eat for just $0.25. To us, it’s barely a cost... To them, it’s dignity, pride, and for some, the comfort of knowing that they are guaranteed at least one meal a day. So no, this isn’t a restaurant review. It’s a call to community. A reminder that places like MQC only exist if we nurture them—because they nurture us right back. The food is amazing, yes. But the real gift is what MQC serves daily: a table where every child, from every walk of life, finds belonging.

Sooooo good! Very tasty and fresh. I just had the chicken roti, it was well seasoned and the spice level was nice, not too much. The doubles are delish too!! Definitely recommend everyone:)

As of September 20, 2025 they are open on Saturdays 11:30 to 6!!!! During the week I work their hours of business, so I am very grateful that sister Alice and her crew are offering their delicious meals on Saturday! Being able to buy the delicious oxtail stew, goat stew and doubles is a real treat. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Amazing Caribbean Food. The two women working there are so warm and welcoming. The food is made with love from Trinidad. The Jerk Chicken was amazing, next time I’ll get it medium spicy, it was definitely Caribbean Hot with extra spicy. I also ordered the Curry Chicken Plate and the Salt fish, both were delicious. This place is a hidden gem!

All around amazing ! The food and people are just wonderful , stopping by this place made my day and needless to say Il be back any chance I get ! I had the jerk chicken and was spiced perfectly! They even gave me samples of salted fish and ox tail while I waited for my food . Every meal you buy here pays for a students meal that can’t afford one ! We need more people and places like this in Montreal!!!!

I have bought several dishes (roti, soup, rice and peas, jerk chicken) for an 85 year old gentleman from Trinidad and he says it is delicious! He loves the food and watching him enjoy it leaves me with a warm feeling knowing he is remembering home! The staff are warm and welcoming!
