Chomedey

Caribbean Seafood/Fish Grill BBQ Jamaican

Review Summary

Pimento's Cuisine des Caraibes earns praise for strong Caribbean flavors, with jerk chicken and fried chicken delivering juicy meat and well balanced seasoning, while bright sides like coleslaw and macaroni salad elevate the plates. The menu also earns affection for items such as Jamaican patties, fish cakes, plantains, and dishes like jerk salmon or halal jerk chicken, with several diners noting generous portions and good value. The open kitchen and clean, welcoming space, along with warm, attentive service, contribute to a friendly vibe that many say makes the visit feel special. The Laval location is repeatedly described as a welcome, larger space in the Montreal area, though indoor dining is limited to takeout and pickup options, with quick service and the option to call ahead to skip lines. A common sentiment is that the restaurant represents a top Caribbean option in the region, inspiring repeat visits and curiosity to try new dishes on future trips, and appreciation for consistent flavor quality whether dining in, taking out, or ordering for delivery.View restaurant profile

Mister Paté

Review Summary

Mister Paté draws a mixed consensus: the pate is described as very good by some, with reports of driving two hours just to try them, but others say the recipe has changed since earlier visits and the latest batch tastes less fresh and the overall quality has declined while prices stay the same. Service is noted as inconsistent, with mentions of impatience at the counter and varying levels of friendliness. The cash only policy and lack of change require a nearby ATM and add friction, especially for those arriving near closing time. Despite affection for the product and nostalgia for past visits, the reviews suggest a hit or miss experience, and some notes include praise in French and Haitian Creole about how good the pate is.View restaurant profile

Caribbean Grill Fried Chicken Pasta Seafood/Fish

Review Summary

Diners note that value at Ella Foods can be hit or miss depending on what is ordered, with jerk chicken fried rice and jerk chicken spring rolls standing out. The oxtail plate is described as delicious and a generous portion. The Rasta pasta seems overpriced for what it is and for its portion size, but it is not bad. The staff are friendly and seem to work hard to satisfy customers. The atmosphere is gnarly and not ideal for a date.View restaurant profile
