12 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Ottawa

“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.“

“best jerk chicken in ottawa. Perfect balance of spices. Delicious rice and slaw. Friendly owner, we will be back. Highly recommend it“

“staff was friendly and quick“

“Call to place order, food will always be ready in 10-15 minutes. We only ever order the curry goat platter, oxtail platter, or jerk chicken roti. As good as the carribean food Ive had in the west end of toronto.

My favourite part? the homemade fruit punch, $5 and worth every penny. In general, portion sizes are large, enough leftovers for lunch most time“

“Love this place, one of the best Haitian spots in the city. Love that they have $10 lunch specials too. Good service, great food, would be nice if the atmosphere was more inviting. By this I mean the decor etc could be better, it wouldn't take much. But, great takeout spot.“

“I love the food it’s amazing flavor. Fast and friendly it is my go to for Jamaican food“

“Baccanalle provided food for a 13 person, 2-day event (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks). Their catering allowed us to enjoy our time and relax without having to worry about food. It was fantastic and everyone loved it. The portions were generous and we had such a good variety of food such as jerk chicken, burgers, crepes, pancakes, stir fry, quesadillas, etc. and most food options came with lots of sauce. The reheating process was easy and the food looked and tasted as if it was cooked fresh at our location despite traveling almost 4 hours away, from Ottawa, to a cottage. Baccanalle was very easy and enjoyable to work with. They were extremely accommodating and helpful when it came to them providing their services to suit the event appropriately. I will not hesitate recommending Baccanalle for your next event, they truly made ours very special.

The burger was very tasty, the poutine was good, and the service was exceptional. I would definitely recommend if you are in the downtown Ottawa area.“
