“Best Caribbean food I have had in the 613. True home flavour- balancing heat, flavour, texture. Quality and quantity on POINT. Service friendly and efficient. Highly recommended. I have had chicken roti, goat and j*** chicken with sides rice and peas, plantain and veg. A blessing to taste these hardworking and honest folks’ food. Don’t rush- this is not fast food.“

“This has become one of my go-to spots in town for Jamaican food. Top tier service and the food actually amazed me. Coming from Toronto, there are few places I’ll trust for their Jamaican cuisine but Reggae Rooster impressed me and I’ll definitely be back.“

Baccanalle Caribbean •
1805 Gaspé Avenue, Ottawa

“Highly recommend!
Purchased the holiday dinner with jerk turkey, callaloo, macaroni and cheese and stuffing. It was delicious!! The cranberry sorrel compote had a brilliant flavour profile that I really enjoyed, the callaloo was authentic trini style but could have been a bit thicker, the jerk turkey was moist and flavorful, and the portion size was good. The macaroni and cheese was rich and tasty but I didn't taste any particular caribbean flavours. We also ordered a side of rum butter which we ate with cake and waffles - it was delicious.

I am very grateful to have had authentic caribbean main dishes to supplement my Christmas dinner this year. It saved us a lot of time and effort, and we truly enjoyed the flavours and meal. Chef Reesa is an absolutely wonderful chef and her responses to my online questions were quick. Will definitely order again!“
