About Us

OUR VISION - ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE OF EVERY MEAL

We are committed to the global popularization of Haitian and Afro-Caribbean food and culture. We aim to deliver authentic taste, using naturally sourced ingredients, while having a positive societal impact on the cultures and regions from which our recipes derive.

CORE VALUES

INSPIRATION

Pikliz Royal was founded by two cousins who love traveling and discovering amazing local foods from various cultures. Our fathers are brothers who immigrated from Haiti to North America. Stephan's father settled with his family in Montreal in the 1980’s and worked as a chemical engineer in commercial food production. Don's father moved to New York in the 1960’s and later opened one of the longest running Haitian restaurants in Queens with his business partners. Combining our passion for food and culture with the culinary production expertise of our fathers, we are dedicated to delivering you palate pleasing delicacies that have long been enjoyed by Haitians and other Afro-Caribbean cultures.
