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.
Needed a quick dinner the other night & decided to try this spot.. so glad I did! The jerk chicken did not disappoint. The chicken was well-seasoned, the rice & beans were perfect, & the plantains were cooked just right, not greasy at all. Delicious meal overall.

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. 🇯🇲🔥
Very mid Jamaican food. The chicken was cooked well. The plantain & coleslaw were very good. The jerk sauce is disappointing. No heat, it tastes like something you would buy out of a glass jar at the grocery store. The rice was bland & the festival was tasteless & dense. The patties were average at best. Jamaican food for white people.
The vibe inside seemed off. Employees were bickering with each other. I came to pick up an order & could recite who it was for & what was included but they made me contact my wife who ordered it to send me a screenshot of the receipt. Did not get a friendly vibe from the place at all, everyone in there seemed miserable.
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

Food was great service good been a few times had the jerk chicken & curry goat sides are ok would be nice if could have a choice for white rice they only serve rice & peas

Went on a Saturday. The food was very good & didnt taste greasy. The jerk chicken was flavourful. Kids loved the fried chicken. Got the meals quickly & the service was exceptional. Will have to go back.
Food was really good.
But on the other end the cashier (a young guy) was really rude & made me fell unwelcome) usually Carribean people are welcoming. Unfortunately I won't be going there anymore.
We came to this restaurant for the first time & I can say it was truly delicious. The portions are very generous, & the variety of flavors gives you a wonderful culinary experience.

The food is really incredible.
No real seating space but there are 2 outdoor picnic tables.
We took a bit of everything & nothing disappointed. Great staff too!
Food is decent for a Jamaican restaurant in Montreal. Don't really have too many complaints. The food comes with a nice assortment of sides in the combo. I did ask for curry goat gravy for the rice & they gave me some in a little cup. It was pretty laughable how little gravy they give you. It wasn't even equivalent to a regular spoonful you'd find at your typical Caribbean restaurant. The festivals were my favorite item, very delicious! But overall very good value for your money.
