  • Patois brings about a niche of Jamaican-Chinese food to Toronto - and it does it quite well. When we were walking in on a Friday without reservations at 7pm, we were greeted by the host who said it will be a 30 minute wait. Thankfully our party of 3 were not too hungry - and Dundas West was vibrant enough to let us stroll around to kill some time. After just over 30 minutes, we were called and told the table was ready. We were sat down on the island in the middle. The atmosphere was of a typical hip Dundas West eatery. Loud music was played so this is not for people who would like to have a peaceful meal. The service was quite attentive and they were keen to offer drinks/food recommendations to our party. We ended up deciding on: 1) Jamaican Patty Double Down: this was a essentially two small Jamaican patties with some pork belly in the middle topped with a creamy sauce, mixed with sriracha. A little small for what I expected and it was pretty good - tasty and mildly spicy. Not my favourite dish at the restaurant though. 3/5 2) Pork Belly Bao (special with their BBQ fest): this is essentially a deep fried Chinese bun (man tou) with pork belly in the middle with some coleslaw inside and on the side. Small portion (just one - and it was $15 for beer and this Bao). However the pork belly is very well BBQed and very flavourful - I enjoyed this more than the double down. 4/5 (for food - lower score for value) 3) Jerk Chicken: My favourite dish - well seasoned tender. Good portion size - a half size chicken. This was a standout for me and the sauce on the side (almost like a chipotle mayo mixed with a garlic aioli) was incredible. 5/5 4) Fried Chicken: This one had a flavourful but not-too-heavy batter that was topped with sweet sriracha sauce on the side (tasted almost like a sweet chilli sauce). Their chicken dishes are definitely my favourite. 4.5/5 5) Pineapple Bun Burger: This is their most popular dish according to Yelp reviews but I was underwhelmed by the hype. Perhaps we waited a little too long to dig in but the bottom of my bun become a little soggier than I'd like. The taste is pretty good - a nice mix of savoury and sweet. I wished the pineapple bun flavours were stronger to compliment the strong flavours of the beef better. This might be unfair but I've had the Krispy Kreme donut burger at CNE and I expected the flavours to be as complimentary. The pineapple bun is too mild compared to that experience. 3.5/5 Overall, I think Patois deserves their 4/5. Good food - a little expensive for sure. Good atmosphere to come to with friends and catch up. Great attentive service checking up on how the food is.
