Reviews describe Bigga Taste as a warm, clean family run spot offering authentic Jamaican food in Montreal, with generous portions and prices many feel are fair for the quality. The jerk chicken is repeatedly praised for being moist, flavorful, and well spiced with a nice kick, while oxtail and curry goat are noted for tender meat and rich gravy. Dishes like curry chicken roti, fried plantains, dumplings, patties, and ackee and saltfish with dumplings are described as flavorful and comforting, with fresh seasoning and a home style vibe. The staff and atmosphere receive frequent compliments for friendliness and quick service, though there are occasional busy periods that slow service. Some reviews offer more critical notes, such as jerk pork not delivering the same depth of flavor, variances in gravy, or higher prices and a card fee.

Campo earns praise for succulent Portuguese chicken, juicy meat and a range of sauces. The table d'hote is repeatedly highlighted as a great value to sample multiple dishes, and the vibe is described as cozy with attentive, friendly service. The downtown location and options for dine-in or takeout make it convenient for lunch or casual dinners, with nat a, croquettes, salads and even poutine often named as high points. However, some visits fall short with slow or inattentive service, long waits to be noticed, or food arriving cold and with overpowering sauces. A few dishes are noted as underseasoned and portions can feel small, fries sometimes soggy or oily, and one Caesar on the menu drew criticism. There are also stronger complaints about price or overall value and a very negative experience tied to a quiet empty dining room and loud music in another visit, while many others still say Campo is a solid, convenient choice and would return for the chicken, sides and friendly staff.View restaurant profile

Across reviews Faybee's Restaurant earns praise for bold Caribbean flavors and dishes like jerk chicken, griot, goat curry, oxtail, roti, and patties, with many noting the food is delicious and the atmosphere lively or cozy, yet several comments highlight inconsistency in portions and meat quantity, including small portions for the price and oxtail not always tender. Takeout and online ordering experiences are mixed, with occasional price discrepancies, missing extras, and busy service that can feel urgent or loud. Some visitors had off days where dishes did not meet expectations, while others call Faybee's a hidden gem and a reliable go to for flavorful meals and good drinks. Seating is limited and takeout is common, but the overall impression remains that the flavors are strong and authentic, even if consistency varies and service can be uneven.View restaurant profile

Overall, reviews about Otto Ramen lean negative, with pork ramen described as tasting like nothing and the broth only warm, an extra charge for a ramen egg that turned out fully hard boiled, and a tasteless chicken ramen. Some patrons say there are better options for the same price and do not recommend the place, noting it as an expensive bowl of basic chicken with onions, while the vegetables gyoza are crispy and fried.View restaurant profile
