Better oxtail & jerk than I've had in Jamaica. This place is the real deal. The owner is very proud of their food, & they should be. Can't wait to go back & try more of the menu.
Go eat here if you like Caribbean food.
One of the best options close to the West Island.
I've had goat, chicken, & oxtail here.
I learned what festivals are eating here & they're amazing.
Same with peanut punch.
I have nothing but good things to say about House of Taste.
They're lovely people working there too.
Service is super friendly - homely atmosphere.

Amazing Jamaican Cuisine!
The food here is absolutely delicious! The jerk chicken was packed with flavor, the oxtail was tender, & the rice & peas were perfect. The service was friendly, & the atmosphere felt warm & inviting. If you're craving authentic Jamaican food, this is the spot! I'll definitely be back.
I had an amazing experience at House of Taste ! From the moment I walked in, the warm & welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff was incredibly friendly, providing excellent service & making sure everything was just right.
Now, the food absolutely incredible! The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned with the right balance of spice & smokiness, & the oxtail was tender & flavorful, falling right off the bone. The rice & peas were cooked to perfection, & the plantains added the perfect touch of sweetness to the meal.
Everything tasted authentic, fresh, & full of rich Caribbean flavors. You can tell they put love into every dish. Whether you're a fan of Jamaican cuisine or trying it for the first time, this is the place to go. I'll definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommend!
Absolute wow! Picked up the oxtail & jerk chicken platters & this place deserves a place for the #1 Caribbean restaurant in Montreal. Will definitely be a returning customer !
I've been thinking about this food ever since I had some weeks ago. I live about 1.5 hours north of Montreal, & this food makes me wish I never moved out of the city. I love Caribbean food. I have tried every spot I've heard of in Montreal. I've loved two restaurants the most. One of them sadly closed down. The other place is this one. I tried the Curry Goat, Jerk Chicken, Roti, Oxtail stew, pineapple tarts, Chow Mein & those awesome donut-like dessert things & they were all excellent. I ordered all this at one time. I had food for days, but it wasn't enough.I can't wait to get back for more food. House of Taste is delicious. Food has great flavour, no fillers, not oily, not overly salty. Taste like home cooking, & makes me miss my mom. The service is genuine & friendly. The owners love what they do, & it shows. Yes, you should eat at this restaurant. No, this is not a fake review.
