| - I seem to be on a mission to try out all the off the beaten path establishments in Montréal. Boom J's has mostly takeout and delivery service, but my friend just moved to the area, so I tried it for a second time.
The menu is extensive with the traditional offerings, from the jerk plates, to rotis, to patties. All are worthy of the trek out to the Pointe to get them. I had a chicken patty, as they were all out of beef. It was the right kind of spicy, and I ate it while we waited for our takeout plates to be ready. The guy behind the counter was very funny, and really made the experience memorable.
The small jerk chicken plate comes with a generous helping of legs and pieces dripping in the tangy, hot jerk sauce. A little side salad with dressing on the side, plantains and a mountain of rice and peas. My dining companion wasn't able to finish hers, so she gets a second helping tomorrow. I'm guessing that the large plate could easily feed two people with a couple of patties.
There are an abundance of Caribbean places scattered around the city. I'm on a mission to try them all!
