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

Went to **MTL Yardie** & the experience was amazing from start to finish. The food was **flavorful, fresh, & authentic**-the oxtail was tender, the rice & peas were on point, & the veggies were perfectly cooked. The drink was refreshing & balanced, the perfect complement to the meal.
Service was **friendly, fast, & welcoming**, & the atmosphere made the experience even better. Everything felt warm, vibrant, & true to the Yardie vibe.
Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. Highly recommend! ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
Tasty food (amazing jerky chicken), very generous portions, friendly customer service (even though we arrived without online order, they accepted monthly promotion option - 2 chicken plates for 25.99 - without any problems). Usually I don't drink sweet drinks, but the fruits punch was incredibly good. Strongly recommend.
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!!
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!
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).

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've been wanting to try this place for over a year now & what a disappointment.
I'll probably give it a 5/10.
We drove over 50 mins for this, & i dont think ill be back.
Oxtail was okay, a very small portion.
Rice was okay, big portion given.
Macaroni was so dry...12$ for this.
Beef patty with jerk was not good at all, im not sure if it was the patty or the jerk. But what a disappointment.
The drinks were good tho
We paid 85$ for all this, & price wise the portions were not it.
I wouldn't recommend to go here, there's so many other places in mtl for carribean food that are for a fair price & quantity.
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!
