the Toronto Lover system:
5 stars = Must visit!
4 stars = Really good. I take my friends here.
3 stars = Somewhat worth it... if you have nowhere better to go.
2 stars = Below average. Attend only when necessary.
1 star = Do not visit!
The Caribbean Patty Queen makes some of the best authentic Caribbean dishes in the city. Try the patties once, and you'll be taking home a box of 12 ($10.99) before you know it. Try a lunch special: usually some delicious stewed meat on rice for around $5. It's the Queen that makes this place so great, and the warm and friendly smile on her face that you've seen in newspapers over the years hasn't changed.
I understand that she might be moving locations soon, but I'll leave the review up here so everyone can stop in and grab lunch or a patty before she moves on.
(I would recommend the roti, but she's a few steps away from Vena's. Tough luck!)
4 stars
