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 describe Pimento's Cuisine des Caraibes as a go-to for generous portions of authentic Caribbean fare, with the jerk chicken and curry goat standing out for flavor, and meals arriving hot and well seasoned with sides like plantains and fish cakes; diners praise fresh ingredients and friendly, attentive service across visits, and many note halal options and a family feel; while value and overall quality are repeatedly praised, some comments mention occasional service hiccups, limited opening days, and minor inconsistencies with sides or spice level, yet the sentiment remains strongly positive and many say the spot feels like home and is worth returning to.
Came here with my boys from Toronto & let me tell you this spot KNOCKS out everything I've had in Toronto. Makes me want to have this restaurant in Toronto now 😮?💨
Came all the way from Toronto & boy was it worth it! The curry goat was on point & the Jamaican patty , one of the best handheld foods you can get! 10/10 gotta check this place out!

We had the jerk chicken plate. The meat was so tender with a sweet & spicy jerk sauce almost melting off the bone. The coleslaw super creamy & delicious. The plate was well put together. Overall super satisfied with the meal & service, I would highly recommend it to any looking for a good carribean meal.
Wow!! The food was fantastic, the curry goat was probably the best curry goat I've ever eaten! Was so tender & FULL of flavor…everything was delicious! The young man working the front was cheerful & did a great job of serving the ever so many clients! Well done PIMENTOS!! 👏👏👏
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.

Ordered from here for the first time yesterday. Food was amazing! Jerk chicken, fish cakes, & their pepper sauce is fire!!! Plaintains & rice & peas weren't cooked as much as I like it, but still giving 5 stars for food because the rest was that good. Service was fast & friendly. Will definitely visit again.
Update: changing my review from 4 stars to 3. Have been eager to revisit this place & I have to say today I was very disappointed. I ordered the fish cakes but was not given the sauce which quite frankly is the best part. They also had quite a few bones. The festival was hard & dry, inedible. The chicken was not as good as last time. Less meat on the bones & a bit dry. Overall, felt like I was eating leftovers. Also would've preferred the coleslaw over macaroni salad. Wasn't asked which one I want & I really didn't enjoy the macaroni one unfortunately.
Best chicken ever I had in my whole life the chicken was super delicious & juicy. I recommend everybody to come here. Amazing food amazing customer service even the lady she brings the food outside while I was smoking outside. it was busy inside & they make the order less than 10 minute even rice was cooked perfectly not even one single rice was a dry. in the beginning, you will think the quantity of the food is not enough, but after you eat, you will be full.❤?❤?❤?❤?
After doing much research we chanced upon a halal Caribbean restaurant & it did not disappoint.
Every single last item on the menu that we ordered was amazing. This restaurant does not provide dine in service, but tbh it doesnt matter. The food was to die for & we will definitely be returning.

Excellents plats, tout est délicieux. C'était une première expérience de ce restaurant pour emporter. Nous avons tout aimé (Goat curry & Jerk Chicken). À refaire!
The best Caribbean food in Montréal, The owners are very kind & most importantly, the food is incredible. Plus the fact that it's a family owned business makes this better, I recommend anyone to go there !
