The Best Caribbean Restaurants in Toronto
The best Caribbean restaurants in Toronto bring the irresistible flavours of the islands to the Six. Places where fresh ingredients are transformed into generously spiced dishes that demand attention, these spots are well worth a visit anytime hunger strikes.
Here are the best Caribbean restaurants in Toronto.
Roti — plump with channa or curry beef, shrimp, chicken or a bounty of vegetables — is the go-to order at this West Queen West spot. Still, with a menu that includes full dinners completed with curried potatoes and vegetables, beef patties, doubles and a host of sweets, a roti is unlikely to be the only thing you order.
At this family-owned Guyanese bakery and roti shop in Scarborough, the menu changes daily, the food is made fresh each morning and it's more than likely that after just one visit, you'll become a regular. With grandma in the kitchen, every dish — from fish cakes to snapper curry, pepperpot to milk fudge — has a homespun touch.
You'll feel like a kid in a candy store viewing the hot table at this casual Scarborough spot. Every day, it holds a giddy assortment of Caribbean classics — from oxtail stew and jerk wings, to cow foot and ackee with saltfish. You'll want to side each one with coco bread, patties and an order of sweet, tender plantains.
