From the OpenTable editors: It’s always island time at this laid-back Jamaican restaurant, which draws regulars for sensational jerk chicken and oxtail stew, best paired with a hibiscus mojito or two. There’s a popular back patio for the warmer months, but the tropical vacation vibes are just as strong indoors thanks to a lush, plant-lined dining room.

    Truly one of the best meals I’ve ever had! We enjoyed the snapper, curried goat, and jerk chicken along with the crème brûlée. I am celiac and I was grateful for so many delicious options! If I am ever in Toronto again, I will be back!
