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.
My husband & I recently ordered a small jerk chicken plate with oxtail gravy on the side. We've tried many Jamaican spots around Montreal, & this one really nailed the flavours. The jerk chicken was smoky (down to the bone!!!) & packed with authentic spices (& so was the oxtail gravy). A pleasant surprise was the fluffy festivals they included-def not the usual packaged kind. Wait times are to be expected. Only critique I have, I would have liked more rice .We'll definitely be ordering from here again.
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 recently visited one of the few halal Caribbean restaurants in Montreal, & I have to say, the food is absolutely AMAZING! From the perfectly seasoned jerk chicken to the flavorful rice & peas, every bite was a delight. Being one of the only halal Caribbean spots in the city makes it even more special for those of us looking for a place to enjoy this unique cuisine. That being said, I did run into a bit of an issue during my visit. Yesterday, I ordered five plates for my group, only to be told at the end that they had run out of food. While this was disappointing at first, the owner of the restaurant went above & beyond to make up for the situation. They generously compensated us & made sure we left feeling taken care of. It was clear they genuinely care about their customers, & their effort turned the whole experience around. Despite the hiccup, I highly recommend this place. The food is top-notch, & the customer service is exceptional. It's a must-try if you're in Montreal!
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.
