  • Leslieville, with its overabundance of stroller-pushing moms frequenting cupcake shops, might seem an unlikely locale to open up a Caribbean restaurant. But me tink it's a good idea dey did. Vibe: Casual, clean and comfortable -- this joint is the last place you'd find pretense. Rows of classic reggae record covers -- from Bob Marley to Desmond Dekker and Peter Tosh -- line its yellow-orange walls. Simple dining tables arranged to seat about 20 or so are each adorned with fresh-cut flowers. Although the space is small, there's plenty of room to move about. A cut-out in the wall allows plain view to the cook's stirring up oxtail stew in the back. There is also a patio going in the back when summer hits -- likely a good spot for a couple of cold Red Stripes. Goods: Decided to put the jerk chicken -- a de factor standard for any true Caribbean restaurant. It was paired with Jamaican-style coleslaw and side of rice medley -- each with superb taste. The jerk spice seemed to be a mixture of a wet marinade and dry rub, and was thick and aromatic. Hints of peppers, cloves and cinnamon lingered long after each bite. The chicken leg was very juicy, though it was a little on the small side and left me wanting more. Service: After the meal, the owner came to introduce himself, ask about the meal and chat about reggae and Jamaican culture. It was obvious that he's genuinely interested in positive ties with the neighbourhood and welcomed feedback. On the house, he had the chef bring out a feature dessert they'd been working on. It was a base of Jamaican festival (a sweet doughy bread) with pureed banana, maple syrup and a drizzle of Appleton rum -- unbelievable! Bottom line: Price is right for the quality of the food and ambience of the restaurant. They also do take-out (apparently a lot of rotis go through the door). Here's to hoping enough neighbourhood locals swing by to support the Hummingbird.
