I preordered 3 jerk patties & one ox tail patty, the owner said they didn't have any ox tail patties it was a November thing. I took 4 jerk ones for me & my peeps & as usual they were delicious. 😋 Complaining about things that are out of
one's control is not my thing. 😉 my top spot for authentic Caribbean food. I Highly recommend

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!
I had the oxtail with vegetables & ice creams, & everything was absolutely delicious! The oxtail was so tender & flavourful, the vegetables were perfectly cooked, & ice creams were the perfect way end the meal. Everything was a solid 10/10!!! Highly recommend!
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 👌
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!
The food was great! The Ackee & Saltfish was the best!! Customer service was excellent. If you are looking for the best Jamaican food in Montreal, I highly recommend MTL Yardie!
