Had a great experience at Patois recently. Patois is one of the few restaurants in the city that serves Jamaican-Chinese style dishes where it combines flavours from both cultures in each dish.The feast for 1-2 was filling for our group of three, which had one of all of their main items offered. Best items in the feast were the pineapple bun burger and the fried chicken. The pineapple bun burger is one of their best known dishes, mixing a sweet pineapple bun with a smash burger style patty. The fried chicken was very crispy and juicy, which would have been good on its own.Other items such as the jerk chicken and the Jamaican patty were good as well. They have other special dishes (called “features”) available for order as well as a larger feast for larger parties.As Patois is very popular, recommended to get reservations ahead of time. Highly recommended to try in the city if looking for unique food choices.

I am at a loss for words for how incredibly amazing this restaurant is. Deserves way more than 5 stars. Every single dish we tried was incredible. Filled with flavor and spices and truly staying true to the Jamaican Chinese fusion. The doubles must be a permanent menu item. One of our favorite dishes but everything was delicious. Also, don’t skip on the cookie butter French toast. Too good for words. We will definitely be returning to try the rest and new features. The service, food and vibe was an 11/10. Don’t sleep on coming here.

We went for brunch and the food was immaculate. Well seasoned and well plated. I have zero complaints other than that I wish there was more parking.The brunch feast for 2 was great and fun to share, I definitely recommend so you can try the whole menu.Also I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the beef Patty eggs Benny.

We got the Chinese Pineapple Burger Bun, Jamaican Oxtail, a patty and the Cheesy Jerk Butter Potatoes.Loved the flavours of the oxtail and the rice! The potato dish from the seasonal/special menu was also superb! There was a cheese sauce poured over and I couldn’t get enough.I love pineapple buns and was excited to try a burger version. It was an interesting concept and definitely worth a try if you like pineapple buns in general, however it wasn’t captivating enough that I’d order it again.Would 100% recommend the sweet heatwave if you’re into spicy drinks!

Had dinner here last night. I cant get enough of this place! Service was excellent, my waiter was extremely nice and made great food recommendations. Great music all night, although it got quite loud when the restaurant filled up but that's expected. Food was amazing! My friend and I had the brussels sprouts to start and split the fried chicken, pork belly yakisoba and the cookie butter french toast for dessert. The fried chicken was so good I had to order extra to bring home for my husband! Everything we ate was delicious. Definately worth returning to :)

What a lovely Jamaican cuisine! The taste of the food was excellent, although I have to say that the meat" did not have much meat and rather it was bones and something hard that I could not bite into. Nice interior design

Came here last week for my birthday and the food did not disappoint! We had the cheesy jerk butter potatoes, Izakaya shrimp pasta, Michiba crisy brussel sprouts and the Jamaican oxtail. My favourite was the potatoes! The prices look high but once you see the portions, then it’s understandable and worth it. I love that it’s family style because I’m a person of variety and you can definitely get a good amount here! Will be coming back for sure :)

my friends and I had brunch here this past weekend, and we were blown away with how delicious the food was. We went for the Feast for Two and it was so GOOD! Please get the breakfast fried rice, it was so greasy and warm and reminded us of home cooking. We also had the HK style french toast and fried chicken and it was so juicy and fluffy. Highly recommend for a unique brunch spot in the city - because this place shows that a good brunch doesn't always have to be eggs and nothing more

I have to say that this is one of the best fusion restaurants in Toronto. The Jamaican/Trinidad/Chinese fusion is one of a kind and the meal I had on Saturday left an amazing impression. The Atmosphere was inviting and amazing soca music being played.The highlights of the meal were the beef patty’s they are so fresh and flaky, the doubles are amazing it must be left on the menu, the noodles were so flavorful and the pork belly had a great taste! I can say that every dish we ordered was amazing! I definitely recommend and will be coming back.
