The Best Caribbean Restaurants in Toronto

The best Caribbean restaurants in Toronto are synonymous with our local food culture. Spicy beef patties, doubles, patty sandwiches, coco bread, oxtail and good old rice and beans are the go-to’s that keep this city running.

Here are the best Caribbean restaurants in Toronto.

7 - Rasta Pasta

This Kensington Market mainstay mashes up Italian and Caribbean food with surprising success though you can still get all the basics here including Ackee Salt Fish and their renowned jerk chicken.
3 - Allwyn's Bakery

This popular Caribbean joint with locations in Don Mills and near Yonge and Sheppard has been in business for more than two decades serving up oxtail, patties and their jerk chicken sandwiches on coco bread.
4 - Mona's Roti

Apparently the roti at this Scarborough destination place has been made the same way for over a quarter of a century, so they’ve got it down. Uniquely, you can choose your preferred roti “skin,” (paratha, dahlpuri, potato puri) and the jerk chicken and doubles are just as good.
6 - Island Foods

With locations at King and Dufferin and another one in Don Mills this longtime favourite pumps out rotis quickly in almost a dozen varieties, including eggplant, veggie, chickpea, beef and goat.
8 - Roywoods (Ossington)

With locations near Fort York and Lower Ossington, this mini chain made its name with filling jerk sandwiches and their signature hot sauce. Their full service Ossington restaurant does rum punches as well as lobster on coco bread specials.
9 - One Love Vegetarian Cafe

This spot across from Bathurst station is entirely meat-free with options like textured vegetable protein rotis and BBQ tofu. Don't miss their famous corn soup.
11 - Judy's Island Grill

This Little Jamaica restaurant does brisk business for their oxtail and curry goat but that's just a sampling of what's on their extensive menu.
5 - Chris Jerk

Jerk chicken poutine and jerk chicken shawarma are just two of the offerings on the menu at this Scarborough joint.
10 - Drupati's

This roti and doubles joint has multiple locations in Toronto including their always busy Rexdale restaurant. Loyal customers come for the reasonable prices and tasty eats like the hard to find roti with curry duck.
