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 for Pimento's Cuisine des Caraibes consistently praise the flavorful Caribbean takeout, with jerk chicken and fried BBQ chicken described as tender, juicy and well seasoned. Side dishes such as rice and peas, macaroni salad, and patties are noted as bright accompaniments, while fishcakes are often good though sometimes smaller than expected and coleslaw lacking flavor. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and quick, with an open kitchen and clean, welcoming spaces, particularly at the Laval location. Diners report generous portions and good value, though a few note that prices can feel higher than other Caribbean spots. There is interest in bringing back or adding items like oxtails or red snapper on Fridays, and several patrons plan to return to try more dishes. Overall, Pimento's Cuisine des Caraibes emerges as a leading Caribbean option in Laval and the Montreal area, delivering consistently tasty, well seasoned dishes that keep customers coming back.
We purchased two Jerk chicken meals for takeout. The chicken was delicious , well seasoned & juicy however the coleslaw had an odor (similar to when food is left out for several days ) Not sure if its because we ordered closer to closing time because Ive never had any issues with previous meals.
Je suis venu dans ce restaurant avec ma femme pour essayer, mais notre expérience a été très décevante. L'accueil a été particulièrement désagréable. La dame qui nous a reçus, une femme assez grande, ne parlait pas du tout français, ce qui est surprenant dans un restaurant au Québec. Son attitude a été très irrespectueuse : elle nous a parlé de façon agressive & nous a même crié dessus.
Nous avons finalement réussi à passer notre commande, mais la nourriture était très mauvaise. Le plat semblait mal préparé, sans goût, comme si des éléments essentiels avaient été oubliés. Honnêtement, j'ai eu beaucoup de difficulté à manger.
En résumé, entre l'accueil très désagréable & la qualité de la nourriture, l'expérience a été extrêmement négative. Je ne recommande pas cet établissement.
How do you forget to put ANY jerk sauce on a jerk chicken plate ? There was no bite,kick or heat at all in the chicken 😂 The place was not busy at all when I placed my order... Absurd. & portion was feeble.
Amazing jerk chicken & really great service. I do find the prices a bit on the high side compared to other Caribbean spots but the food is definitely tasty. I'd also love to see the oxtails come back even just once a week would be great !
Best Caribbean food out there. Consistently well prepared. I will always choose this... The variety in the menu has me on the perfect rotation.⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?

I have been wanting to try this place for a while & finally got my chance. We ordered takeout from Laval location & the service was great, friendly & quick! The restaurant was clean & welcoming (except the door was so hard to open). We ordered fishcakes & the regular jerk chicken plate. The fish cakes were really good, just a bit small from what I am used to when ordering. The jerk chicken was ok, not bad but not amazing. It was a bit dry, like it was from the beginning of the day (we ordered around 7pm on a Saturday). I loved the rice & peas, was delicious. I did not like the side coleslaw or whatever it was, at all. It had no taste & lacked seasoning. The portions sizes were great & a regular is more than enough for one person. I may try this place again but order something else because I truly was disappointed with the food.
Wow!!! I came in with high expectations & the staff certainly delivered. Picked up a regular plate of fried chicken & a regular plate of jerk chicken. The taste of the island definitely shines through these dishes, the meat was juicy & we'll seasoned. The fixings really complement the protein, both the coleslaw & macaroni salad were bright & zesty. I also got myself two Jamaican patties, a must have when you go there, just the perfect amount of heat wrapped in the flakiest of crust, legit!!! The staff is welcoming & you can even have a peak at them in the back while ordering. This should become a Laval institution fairly quickly, go there & support!!!
