MTL Yardie draws wide praise for authentic Jamaican flavors, with highlights including juicy jerk chicken, flavorful roti and oxtail, tender curry goat, and well seasoned patties that many say are among the best in Montreal. Generous portions, affordable prices, and warm, welcoming service help create a consistently satisfying experience, with several items like the jerk wings, pumpkin rice, and ackee and saltfish egg rolls standing out. While most visits are highly positive, a few reviews mention dry jerk chicken, inconsistent roti or patty fillings, occasional missing sides like plantain, and moments of slower or uneven service. Overall, it is regarded as a top Jamaican/Caribbean option in the city, delivering bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and a vibe that many describe as authentic and inviting.
Had MTL Yardie on my list of places to visit & let me tell you, they did not disappoint.
The place is spotless. Was greeted with a warm welcome from the owner as I walked in. He has a real great operation going on in the back, I must give a big shoutout to the people behind the scenes because everything was fantastic!
The main reason coming here was to try the Patty stuffed with oxtails. The Patty was really good & stuffed fully with oxtails. The meat was tender & full of flavour. I definitely would recommend.
The goat roti was also delicious & packed with a good ratio of meat & potatoes. The curry flavour was present but I find could of used a better curry & pepper.(our preference) I understand you have to'turn it down to accommodate everyone'
The jerk chicken was cooked beautifully & was tender. Will say, I wonder if it is cooked on the grill but still really good.
I definitely would recommend their home made juices. The sorrel had a nice kick I. The back of my throat. Fruit punch is also really nice!!
Everything was delicious & pipping hot!!! Definitely would recommend & will be back!!
Give em' a try families!!!
Tell em' Jay sent ya!!

We seen all of the social media posts, & we were disappointed, we had it to go,they forgot the plantain, the roti chicken was not the best, the only star was the stuff patties.
MTL YARDIE is my go-to spot for authentic Caribbean-Jamaican food whenever I'm craving some bold flavour. The dishes are always freshly prepared, & the owner & staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming. My go to is Mixed Plate, Chicken Roti, Ackee & Salt Fish with fried dumplings. The restaurant is always clean & inviting. Highly recommend!
M.T.L. YARDIE truly deserves every bit of this 5-star rating! The food is consistently fresh, flavourful, & made with love. From the very first bite, you can taste the authenticity & passion that goes into every dish.
Their jerk chicken, oxtail, brown stew chicken, fried chicken, rice & peas, & goat curry are all outstanding - always perfectly seasoned & cooked to perfection. & for those who know… the Pumpkin Rice (a secret menu gem!) is absolutely incredible & takes the meal to another level.
On top of the amazing food, the service is warm, welcoming, & always on point. The team treats you like family every single visit, which makes the experience even better.
If you're looking for real Jamaican flavour, generous portions, & consistent quality, M.T.L. YARDIE is the spot! Highly recommended!
Ordered the jerk chicken meal & fried dumplings via ubereats & the food was very tasty & flavorful especially the dumplings & jerk chicken my only suggestion is to add jerk chicken patties to the ubereats menu. Thanks
Omg that Rotti… I have been dreaming of a rotti since I moved from TO to MTL… finally got to eat one that is AMAZING!!! Look at that juiciness. & the hot sauce (delicious) .
& that jerk chicken stuffed patty! Omg the spices & the taste!!! AMAZING :)
I ordered here, yesterday for the first time & this had, honestly, the best jerk chicken i had eaten in a long time. So much so that i reordered today & trust me i will definitiy be a returning customer. I definitly would recommand. The only problem i had was them not adding the little mac & cheese to my plate, but i ordered fries instead of rice so maybe they thought that i wasn't expecting it.
MTL Yardie somehow showed up on ny Instagram & for weeks I have been wanting to try it. I drove from the South Shore (traffic & all) & was not disappointed. I ordered the chicken curry rotie & the macaroni pie. My initial thought was that it was very pricey however the portions were large enough for 2 people or leftovers for another day. The chicken rotie was amazing! The macaroni pie could use a bit of seasoning but definitely didn't stop me from eating it. Haha! I will most definitely go back & recommend to others. If i had to find a negative, the only thing i could say (at least for now) is that they do not offer'breast only' options. I was hoping to try the stewed chicken & jerk chicken however I could not order just the breast meat. I had no choice but go with the rotie (it was still fantastic).
My boyfriend & I love this place! When we first got to Montreal we were eating here 3 times a week 😂 put on a little weight… none the less. Great food & great hospitality. Love the roti, huge servings with the fried chicken & the pineapple lemonade he gave us was amazing too. Thank you!!

Ok guys sa fait + de 1 an que j'entends parlé de ce resto. J'y suis allé today jai pris un meal fried chicken…. Jai rien a dire. Le genre de fried chicken qui te laisse un palais satisfait. Best fried chicken in town
Much bigger than I thought it was with the extra counter for bagels & sandwiches. Lots of great choices, decent prices. Cost about 40$ for 2 people & you get generous portions. Super nice & quick customer service. The jerk chicken was amazing, literally falling off the bone, the rice & peas with the sauce on top perfectly seasoned & the salad & mac & cheese flavorful. My only critique was that the beef patty was a tad bit dry but maybe we got ones that had been there a bit longer. Happens.
Highly recommend 👌
Truthfully the BEST Jamaican food in Montreal. I had the juicy oxtail that fell right off the bone & some jerk chicken & let me tell you I received the BEST SERVICE. I can't wait to return with all of my friends as well as use their catering services for future family & friend events.
Food is fabulous. I haven't tried a single thing that wasn't packed with flavour & cooked to perfection. I've visited a few times & the jerk chicken roti (jerk chicken, period) & the lobster soup were my favourites so far. I would also like to say that the friendly & caring service makes the experience that much better. I will be a repeat customer for life!
