I have to update my review.. this place is so inconsistent with the flavour of the foods. I came in for a goat roti & it was soooo salty & tasted like it's been in the fridge for a week. At the prices you pay it should be fresh! I'm done with this place
Oxtail Stuffed Patty was delish so well-seasoned 5 stars now for the chicken & goat roti was packed with meat BUT tasted very plain jane ?? what happened to herbs & seasoning & some heat ???

Best Jamaican food I've ever tasted! I love how generous they are with their portions. I had the curry goat & the beef patty. The curry sauce was amazing, & they even smothered the rice & beans with it, which I loved. The goat was tender, the patty was crispy & well seasoned... Flawless
I had friends visiting from out of town last night, so I decided to pick up some goat & chicken rôties. The verdict? Absolutely delicious! Both dishes were bursting with flavor, perfectly seasoned, & the portions were generous.
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!!
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!

First time coming here, & it wont be the last. Having been to many Caribbean restaurants in the city, & being from a Caribbean background, I can wholeheartedly say, their food, & their service are first class.
The curry goat was tender, fall off the bone & full of flavour. So was the oxtail stew.
Amazingly, i'd never had their bagels, being a montreal native. So we were offered 2 to try, which was a great surprise. Do yourself a favour, & go check them out.
Definitely One of the best if not the best Jamaican spots to eat in Montreal. I had the pleasure of enjoying the oxtail & curry goat meal Food was 10/10. The service was wonderful i definitely will be coming back with my friends & family to enjoy the best Jamaican cuisine in Montreal. Oh & the Sorrel to die for best sorrel I ever had.
