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.
Good food & generous portions. The jerk chicken dish was excellent, & the side dishes were just as enjoyable. I also tried their punch, which was absolutely delicious.
To finish, I had a stuffed patty with oxtail. The oxtail itself was very flavorful, although the patty was a little dry. The owner explained that they would have a fresh batch of patties next week, so I'll definitely try the oxtail-stuffed patty again or perhaps another filling.
Overall, I truly enjoyed my experience, & I would not hesitate to make the 1.5 to 2-hour drive again to eat there. I'll certainly stop by whenever I'm visiting Montreal

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
best jamaican food i had in the city so far , the oxtail is fall off the bone & the gravy is very flavorful . Rice & peas , macaroni pie flavorful as well & service is fast . My only negative point is this place is far from where i live but if im in the area & hungry for sure im getting my fix there .
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 👌
I don't say this lightly, but this was hands down the best beef burger I've ever had.
The beef patty was cooked to absolute perfection-juicy, flavorful, & seasoned just right. You could tell they weren't cutting corners; this was high-quality beef, seared beautifully on the outside & still tender inside with a Caribbean flare.
If you're a burger lover, do yourself a favor & try this one. You'll think about it long after the bite.
Absolutely thrilled once again! This was our second time catering from this restaurant, & just like the first, everything was exceptional. We had a party of about 15-20 people, & every single guest had something great to say about the food-it was hot, flavorful, & clearly made with care.
We really appreciated how accommodating the team was with our requests. The timing was spot-on, & the service was so friendly & positive-it truly added to the overall experience. It's rare to find this level of consistency & hospitality.
Highly recommend for any gathering-can't wait for the next one!

I heard of this restaurant on Instagram & decided to make the trip to Montreal to give it a try. While I haven't had the chance to sample their dinner menu, I must say their breakfast options are outstanding. The wait time for service was a bit longer than expected, which might be due to occasional staffing shortages. As for the food: The peanut porridge was a perfect 10/10. The ackee & saltfish with boiled dumplings were also a 10/10. One standout item was the ackee & saltfish eggroll, a unique twist I hadn't tried before. It was incredibly flavorful & my personal favorite. Given that each order includes only three eggrolls, you may want to consider ordering a second set! I also tried their sorrel, which was perfectly made, especially to my taste buds, not too sweet, not too bitter, with a nice hint of ginger. Since my first visit, I've returned twice, & I look forward to exploring their dinner menu soon.
