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
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!

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.
I absolutely adore this location. A bagel/ Jamaican food paradise. I love the for purchase spice section, also! The service is simply amazing, too! Carmella & the rest of the ladies ensure that I will return. I am From Detroit, & am always treated like I am valued by everyone there on my annual summer visit to Montreal.
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 .

I ordered the Veggie Roti, the Jerk patties as well as the oxtail plate. First of all, coming from a West Indian background, I was satisfied with the taste of the Jerk Patty. The Roti was too soggy but the thing that really was not satisfying was the oxtail plate. The taste was very good, HOWEVER we all know oxtail has a lot of bone but paying 25$ for only bone & not any type of meat is crazy. Blah blah the cost of living is high but it was ridiculous. All I had was bone & the customer service was not great. If they are charging these types of prices, give people what they paid for. Just because we are not'influencers' doesn't mean we aren't entitled to proper portioning. Overall I may go back for the patties but that's 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).
