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!
Overall, Pimento's Cuisine des Caraibes earns high marks for consistently flavorful jerk and fried chicken, tender meat, and bright, satisfying sides, with large portions and good value that keep customers returning; the menu's variety, including goat, fish cakes, beef patties, and even oxtails when available, along with an open kitchen, clean space, and friendly staff, creates a warm, welcoming vibe, though a few orders have drawbacks such as coleslaw with an off odor, occasional dryness in jerk chicken, smaller fish cakes, and sides that can be underseasoned; takeout is the norm with Laval and DDO locations, and despite some days with limited hours or no dine-in seating, many praise the consistency, the effort to offer weekly specials like Friday red snapper, and the sense that this spot is among the best Caribbean takeout options in the area, earning strong recommendations to try more dishes and to keep coming back.
I went there with my girlfriend a few days ago had a plate of fried chickens , a plate of jerk
Chicken & a jamaican patty with vert ting & rose ting the cashier was super nice
It's so exciting to finally have a new Caribbean spot in the city! You usually have to head further south or west in Montreal to find authentic Jamaican food, so it's really nice to see Pimento's Cuisine open a location in Laval.
I tried the fried chicken, jerk chicken, & BBQ jerk chicken. Everything was juicy, packed with flavour, & cooked perfectly. I'm partial about the rice (I'm Haitian 😅), but theirs was beautifully fragrant with coconut & thyme..really good! I tried festivals for the first time, love it! Sweet plantains & gravy sauce were okay. The cod fish fritters were crispy without being greasy, with just the right kick of spice🌶?🔥
The only thing I didn't really enjoy were the side salads (coleslaw & macaroni); I personally prefer them more savory, & these leaned on the sweeter side. But overall, everything was delicious & I'll definitely be ordering again!
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!!!

Pimentos never disappoints! I used to love their location in DDO, but I'm so happy they opened their Laval spot, the space is bigger, & the vibe is amazing. The owner is incredible, & the service always feels warm & genuine.
The food? On point every single time. I'm a huge fan of their barbecue jerk chicken, but lately I've been hooked on their regular fried chicken, super crispy on the outside & tender on the inside. The seasoning is perfect, & their fish cakes are honestly a must-try. Even the sides are unique & give the whole plate an extra kick.
I love this place❤? i used to go to the one in DDO but this one is even closer to my house always so tastyyy & good i order to pickup i arrive everything is ready, portions are huge( i took large) it usually fills me up for the whole day i eat half for lunch half for diner & thats a day of eating . ( i recommend their bbq fried chicken, fish cakes & plantains : my order)
So far I've tried their fried chicken, jerk chicken & goat, everything was delicious & fresh. My brother ordered the jerk salmon & loved it. The portion size is healthy, you'll need a nap afterwards lol I'm so glad they opened a location in Laval. Highly recommend!
