Family BBQ’s have always been the highlight of every summer, cooking good food and creating memories with our friends and family are the moments that we thrive for! With all the fun, we dreaded saying goodbye at the end of the night. Once the pandemic hit, we were no longer able to enjoy eachother’s company. Instead of our traditional gatherings, we would send food and care packages to our love ones to let them know that everything will be okay.. After the great feedback from our family, the idea for Pimento’s was born!
Reviews of Pimento's Cuisine des Caraibes describe a consistently flavorful and authentic Caribbean experience in the Montreal area, with juicy jerk chicken, top notch curry goat, and generous portions of sides for good value. The menu shines with fish cakes, beef patties, plantains, rice and peas, and festivals, all noted for fresh, balanced flavors and a bright pepper sauce. Halal options are mentioned by several reviewers, and the food often feels like home cooking, with strong praise for authenticity and variety. Service is frequently praised as friendly and efficient, though a few comments mention uneven service or limited dine-in hours across locations. Taken together, the reviews portray Pimento's as a go-to spot for jerk lovers and curry goat fans, a hidden gem by many, with consistently tasty dishes and generous portions, while acknowledging some variability in experience and availability.
I ordered the BBQ jerk chicken on Uber Eats & it was amazing. It was delicious & the portion was extremely big.
I also mentioned that I'm pregnant & they were so kind - they even added an extra patty to my order, which was such a nice surprise. The food was already delicious on its own, but their generosity made the experience even better. This should be everyone's go to spot in west island😍
Yo, this spot is reaaaal badmon! 🔥 I had the jerk salmon & my girl got the ½ BBQ chicken / ½ jerk chicken, & everything was BUSSIN'. The salmon was soft & juicy, perfectly seasoned. The chicken? Tender, flavorful, smoky - exactly how it's supposed to be.
The rice & peas were soft, the coleslaw fresh & crispy, & the macaroni was bussin' for real. Even the dumplings hit the sweet spot - not too sweet, not too dry. Every single component of the plate was on point.
Customer service was A1 - friendly, fast, & full of good vibes. Pimentos really brings that authentic Jamaican flavor with Montreal flair. 10/10 - will definitely be back. 🇯🇲🔥
This place is exceptional. The BBQ salon is bursting with flavour as are all the sides. Best food in the West Island. I wish they were open more days but I'm happy that finally something out here is really good. It's been consistent with every order.
Hi
this is a review from the 5 crazy ladies that came today September 26th 2025 @ DDO location
we ordered the curry goat jerk chicken & the BBQ chicken everything was delicious
the plantain was also delicious the festivals were fried just right
service was amazing
keep up the good work
we will definitely be back
just a suggestion maybe have some island sweets.😀😉😋
I ordered the small bbq jerk chicken plate & fish cakes.
Overall it was okay. The chicken was cooked nicely & fell right off the bone, but the jerk taste was lacking a bit & the bbq was on the sweeter side which I didn't love (I wonder if I should have ordered the regular jerk plate instead). The festivals were really festival-shaped dumplings but great texture & still appreciated. The gravy on the side would have been a nice touch but it didn't have a taste, so I would definitely suggest some jerk gravy instead to bring it all together!
The fish cakes were great. They didn't come with a sauce but I didn't mind.
It was a good portion size but I feel like the plate juuuust missed the mark for me. I will try the regular jerk one day to compare.

I went to eat there because my sister said the food was delicious. It was good except for the rice. The rice & peas had no flavours at all. I'm used to eat rice & peas but it was not it.. The bbq jerk chicken & the fried chicken was bomb. I also really liked the beef patty & the fried flour. I would recommend it except for the rice & peas.

I've been looking for a place with good food & my first time Ordering from here all I have to say is wow! Played it safe with the chicken got jerk & fry bbq .listen to me you won't want to share. All the way from Toronto & this place can come out there & set up shop. I'll definitely order again hoping to make it there 1 day. Forgot my gravy was the only thing. The chef deserves whatever they want.
Incredible food I'm still dreaming about the jerk bbq chicken, it's a must try. My only complaint is the macaroni salad, tastes like mustard & I hate mustard. Wish it was Mac & cheese instead, would slap so hard with the meat.
Wanted to go here for lunch for the longest time! It is a very small space & there is only seating for 2, so eating in the car or at home is ideal. I ordered the fried chicken with BBQ sauce. My friends got a half/half jerk chicken & oxtail & half/half curry goat & oxtail. My friends would rate their meals a 7.5. I liked my meal but it did take an extra 15 mins for my meal. There were very kind though & appreciated my patience. I absolutely loved my chicken & the festivals. The rice & mac salad were not my favourite though. PS. Don't waste money buying drinks at the restaurant, walk two doors down to the dep to get drinks!! Overall would rate this experience a 6.5/10!
Discovered & absolutely loved everything. We got to try: - Half & half plate, 1/2 Jerk Chicken, 1/2 BBQ chicken with rice & peas, macaroni salad, plantains, & festivals (delicious, deep fried slightly sweet bread). - Jerk Salmon & all the fixings - Oxtail & all the fixings - Spicy Beef Patties - Fish Cakes We loved the flavour explosions, the variety of foods, & the service!
