| - Located right in the middle of the very hipster Mile-End area on St-Viateur street, this place aims to serve great Caribbean food. Being kinda not dressed like the crowd of the area, I felt kinda out of place, but that doesn't matter.
Went there on a weekday evening with a friend for dinner. Curious from their offerings and having never tasted Carribean food before in my life, I was more than curious.
The decor inside was nice and the vibe from the employees was great as well. Going inside the restaurant, you will make your order then move along to collect your order. The seating area is fairly scant, with about enough seats for a dozen people (although most of the customers seemed to be locals coming for take-out).
I decided to go for their plate of jerk chicken. It cost about 15$ (iirc) and came with a side of fries, rice, cucumber salad, and fried plantains. I started with the cucumber salad, which was not so great, unfortunately. It was way too acid to my taste. The main plate itself, however, was good. The spices of the chicken were well mixed, with enough taste. Unfortunately, considering my low tolerance for spices, I had some difficulty (my problem). The sides also were good, with the fries well seasoned too.
Bottomline, nice place for lunch or dinner. Would recommend if you are craving chicken but want it done differently!
