Les barbecues familiaux ont toujours été le point culminant de chaque été, cuisiner de la bonne nourriture et créer des souvenirs avec nos amis et notre famille sont les moments que nous recherchons avec enthousiasme ! Avec tout le plaisir, nous redoutions de dire au revoir à la fin de la soirée. Une fois la pandémie arrivée, nous n'avons plus pu profiter de la compagnie les uns des autres. Au lieu de nos réunions traditionnelles, nous envoyions de la nourriture et des colis de soins à nos proches pour leur faire savoir que tout irait bien. Après les excellents commentaires de notre famille, l'idée de Pimento's est née !
Dans l'ensemble, Pimento's Cuisine des Caraibes est perçue comme l'une des meilleures et des plus constantes adresses caribéennes en ville, avec des saveurs authentiques mêlées à une touche moderne, des portions généreuses et un bon rapport qualité-prix; les plats comme le jerk chicken, le curry goat, les fish cakes, les patties et les accompagnements tels que le riz et pois, les plantains et les festivals reviennent régulièrement en tête pour leur fraîcheur et leur goût marqué. De nombreux avis soulignent la cuisson du poulet, le niveau de saveur et la variété qui donne une impression de repas fait maison, et le caractère halal est fréquemment mis en avant. Certaines critiques évoquent toutefois des points à améliorer, notamment une expérience de service parfois inégale, des heures d’ouverture limitées et des délais, ainsi que des remarques sur l’attitude du personnel ou sur des détails comme le choix des accompagnements. Malgré cela, l’envie de revenir est récurrente et l’enseigne est recommandée comme une halte incontournable pour les amateurs de cuisine jamaïcaine, avec des portions généreuses et une ambiance chaleureuse.
Amazing food curry goat top notch chicken jerk awesome very fresh chicken was succulent rice & peas very fresh festivals super good macaroni salad nice sweet & spicey very satisfied & highly recommend best in West Island can't wait to go back & it will be soon
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.
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
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.
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.❤?❤?❤?❤?
The jerk chicken was amazing. However the rice was stale, the fish cakes didn't even taste like fish it was too doughy. We also got the goat curry plate do not recommend. Got few pieces of goat not worth your money.
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!
Ordered the large Jerk Chicken plate, for take out. Very happy with it. Great flavour, spicy but not crazy. They gave me a couple plantations, & some festivals (fried dough). The rice with beans was good. I'd go there again, even serve it at a party, with some Pina Coladas, or Bahamas mamas.
Really impressed with the quality of the food! Ordered a large jerk chicken plate - the chicken was spicy, well seasoned & exceptionally moist & fall off the bone. Rice & peas was tasty, plantains had a great taste, the festivals (which I've never tasted before) was unexpectedly delicious, & the coleslaw brought a nice tang & was very well seasoned & added a nice texture to the meal. Overall, really impressed with the food!

I was actually kinda just browsing on Uber & came across Pimentos. I didn't know what it was so I googled it, & I'm glad I did! I saw some amazing reviews & saw someone I know write a great review, so I knew I had to try. Everything was amazing! It tasted so fresh & everything was so full of flavor. The rice & peas weren't dry. Omg the jerk chicken is sooo juicy & tasty 😋 I also ordered extra plantains because they're my favorite & they were soo good. Fish cakes were also amazing. I'm so happy I found this place & I will definitely come by for more 💓 thank you
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!
The patties are delicious, the chicken as well! But the rice.. everytime we buy it, it's always waters & mushy.. maybe you should have another type of rice because it's never 10/10 (which you are a restaurant, we pay for quality & it's unfortunate that we spend our money to eat your food & don't even get to eat the rice because it's not up to standard). Hopefully you get to fix your rice, we would be happy to go back to your restaurant. The macaroni is to acidic.. Pleaseeeee fix the rice pleaseeee 😩 !!!
