Review Summary

Janette's Spicy Caribbean Food earns wide praise for authentic Caribbean flavors, with jerk chicken that is tender, juicy and packed with spice, and curry goat that is deeply seasoned. The roti and beef patties are frequently highlighted as standout items, and oxtail is another crowd favorite, all described as delicious and home cooked. Generous portions, flavorful rice and peas, and sides like plantains round out meals, with in-house hot pepper sauce topping off the experience. Takeout is common and often recommended, with many noting that dishes travel well but advice to call ahead during busy times. The staff and owners are described as friendly and welcoming, giving the place a warm, homey vibe. Seen as a hidden gem and a must try by locals and visitors alike, it is often suggested that a detour is worth it for the bold, smoky, and soulful flavors.

Delicious & friendly spot. Got the jerk chicken + a patty to go for the REM. They should open a food truck at the new Roxboro station.

This meal hits every note perfectly. The jerk chicken is packed with flavour, tender, & has that authentic smoky char that makes each bite addictive. Portions are generous, everything tastes homemade, & the quality is consistent. Easily one of the most satisfying Jamaican meals around.

Holy moly! La nourriture était délicieuse, j'ai pu essayer le combo curry goat & jerk chicken avec un beef patty. Tout était excellent! Où que tu sois à Montréal, le trajet en vaut la peine.

Very tasty Carribean food. I loved the goat curry & jerk chicken (both pictured).

Takeout only. Best to call in advance as they seem to make it to order. Card accepted but cash preferred.

This is what a dive is supposed to be. A hole in the wall that serves home cooked delictable food. Amazing.

It was my first time getting a jerk chicken plate from this restaurant. Very friendly people & food was awesome. I ordered 4 large plates of jerk chicken for myself & colleagues.

Came to Montreal on a whim & I always enjoy finding where the locals eat. Stumbled upon Janette's Spicy Caribbean while deep diving in the Reddit threads. Holy smokes. This might have been the best place I ate at while in Montreal (& I ate at a lot of places). The curried goat was cooked fresh to order & brilliantly spiced. Beef patties were equally excellent. Honestly, the food here was better than some of the meals I had in Jamaica. Staff were extremely friendly & hospitable. They were amused that the first place I visited after having stepped off the plane from Denver, CO was their little establishment. Who would've thought that Jamaican cuisine would be the best thing in Montreal? Do yourself a favor & visit. I promise it will be worth the detour!
