The best part of Toronto is its unique ability to integrate so many cultures without 'melting' each cultures distinctions into a blurred, unrecognizable pot. If you don't believe me, just take a look at all of the fantastically executed fusion restaurants in the city.
Located in the heart of the colorful Kensington Market is one of these fusion restaurants. Taking the soul of Jamaican food and the heart of Italian, Rasta Pasta combines the best of two cultures into one. Sadly when I went, two of the pastas I wanted to try was sold out, so I went next door to their Jamaican only joint. As expected from all authentic Jamaican/Caribbean restaurants, the ladies serving are all sassy with a take it as their own pace attitude. I got the jerk chicken and also a curry goat which was pre-made and in a heater. I prefer my curry goats very saucy, thick and rich so I found it to be a bit light here. Some people may enjoy it and the big chunks of lean meat so I can't say it was bad, just not aligned with my taste profile. The jerk chicken was incredible though! Tender, saucy and juicy, I could have eaten a whole chicken like this to myself. I'm definitely looking forward to going back and trying the pasta dishes. Definitely a must try in the area.
