Really good food! We ordered the Jerk Chicken Poutine (Oxtail Poutine was not available that day). The chef gave us the wrong meal - he ended up making us a jerk chicken platter. When we told him it wasn't what we ordered - he sincerely apologized and told us to keep it free of charge and made us the Poutine that we ordered. That was nice customer service on his part. Both entrees were so good!! It's a small take out spot but they did have one table to sit and dine in. This is a go-to spot. I highly recommend. read more

Lloydies is located in Mile End part of Montreal. It is a small shop that packs so much flavour. We came here for lunch with a friend and were happy that is was pet friendly. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I got the jerk pork plate which came with rice, fried plantains and coleslaw. Service was quick. The food was delicious and filling. I really needed a nap afterwards. Everything was cooked to perfection. The pork was tender and flavourful, the rice was yummy and seasoned well and the fried plantains were perfect. Reminded me of the plantains my dad would make on the weekends. Yummy caramelized exterior and soft and sweet interior. Perfectly fried and a great balance to the delicious jerk pork. Such a lovely pet friendly find, even my friend who lives in Montreal loves the spot and was happy I found it because she didn't know about this place! Great place food and nice to explore the neighbourhoods outside of the downtown core! read more

I was so excited to try Lloydie's while in Montreal, and I'm so glad I went because they did not disappoint! The jerk poutine is a MUST. This was the best thing we ate. The plantain was also perfectly made and we enjoyed munching on this too! Overall 10/0 I definitely recommend if visiting Montreal. read more

Lloydie's - December 2022 menu - Caribbean Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Such a friendly stuff!!! Portions are very big and a good amount to share honestly. The best oxtail I've had so far, it was very tender. It come with rice and plantain and a small salad. The macaroni Pie and the cucumber salad are a must aswell to pair with your meal. We ordered the plaintain poutine and jerk Fries but was dissapointed, we were expecting actual plantain slice style poutine but nothing special. Would not get those in the future. But we will definitely try other plates. We also got a few different Jamaican drinks, they were all so good. We even got some ground coffee and pikliz read more

It was my first day in Montréal as a tourist and I am so glad I came here! Firstly, the cashier who helped my family and I was soo friendly and helpful!!! I wish I could remember her name! It was my first time trying jerk chicken and it was so flavorful! Everything was genuinely so good. I also got the spicy beefy patty and the chicken patty, while they were both good the chicken was my favorite because it had a curry taste to it. I loved the music they played and all the Caribbean decor! read more

Lloydie's - jerk chicken plate - Caribbean Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

One of the best Caribbean establishments in Montreal! We ordered Bajan Fried Chicken & a Jerk Chicken Plate last week. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection! Both orders had a side of salad, rice & plantains. All the flavours worked perfectly together throughout the meal! Would definitely order again and recommend to family and friends.

LOVED everything I tried! This hip spot offers some delish Caribbean food. The menu isn't overwhelming, which I like. The decor is also pretty awesome. I tried the jerk chicken plate, beef patty, chicken patty and coco bread pound cake. Everything was flavorful, well seasoned, well cooked, not too spicy (can't handle spicy), and just tasted home made. The only suggestion I have is to have a bit more filling in the patties. read more

Surprised to find this cute Caribbean (not Jamaican) spot. Friendly staff. Nice selection of Caribbean dishes and drinks. Unfortunately, no veggie Patties. Still, this place is lovely. I will be back. read more

i never leave reviews but woah. service was very fast - i was in and out in maybe 5 minutes. the interior is SO CUTE especially with the natural light in the windows. staff are friendly enough and pretty no-nonsense. the food is exceptional - and quite a reasonable price for what you get! the macaroni is served in block form - closer to a casserole than traditional mac and cheese, so not quite as cheesy as i expected, but really tasty. the jerk pork is a generous helping and melts in your mouth. the sauce / marinade is so tasty and it blends really well with the rice and beans. would absolutely recommend if you're looking for a flavorful & filling lunch or dinner at a cute and quick spot! read more

Just ordered Lloydie's for the first time last night after looking through the different Caribbean options on Uber Eats and wow, I was super impressed! The jerk pork was everything I would want. Super tender, super tasty, huge portion and for only $15 it came with a large portion of rice/beans, a full side coleslaw salad and a couple pieces of plantains. The oxtail was the same setup (came with rice, beans, salad, plantains) and was also very tender and tasty. A bit more difficult to eat just because of the bones, but it was worth it! If I had to pick one I'd pick the jerk pork, but I hope I never have to pick one. We also get a side of the "macaroni pie," which was baked macaroni and cheese and very good! Super cheesy. Spicy beef patty was also great, much better than the frozen ones (which isn't to say I don't love the frozen ones too.) Very fast delivery service - it was delivered to my place near Place des Arts within 20 minutes of ordering. Loved it and I'm already looking forward to ordering from there again. read more

Lloydie's - Jerk pork, oxtail, beef patty and mac & cheese "pie" - all so good! - Caribbean Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Highly recommend giving this restaurant a shot. The food is consistent, delicious and always hot. I got the jerk chicken for take-out and the service was great. The staff were friendly and answered any questions I had. Upon ordering, however, I noticed that they slightly increased their prices (likely due to COVID, increased cleanliness and protection equipment) but nothing too crazy. As for the food, it is full of flavour. The chicken is delicious, although I would prefer the breast. I find that the leg isn't filling enough. The rice and beans are amazing and the plantains are even better. They are the sweet type and I wish they could give so many more pieces. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Can't wait to come back here! read more

Lloydie's - Jerk chicken plate - Caribbean Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Caribbean food 5 minutes away from my house. Great idea! They have macaroni pie.... MACARONI PIE! It's basically macaroni and cheese but they make it in this pot so it's like upwards macaroni. It keeps its shape. It's delicious. Finally, a place I can get macaroni and cheese for 4$ and in less than 4 minutes. They also have their own Montréal made soda! hibiscus , bark, and ginger flavoured. I got to sample them but I'm really not a soda person. They aren't fizzy and the hibiscus one is really sweet! I tried their jerk fries(4$) and their chicken patty. I really enjoyed both. The spices in their jerk sauce is just spicy enough that I can tolerate it( meaning I taste how spicy it is but I can still discern flavour). Their chicken patty is so goooooood. I had yet to find a good chicken patty and they made the perfect one. A bit on the pricier side than most other patty's out there(3$), but worth it! Prices on the menu include tax. The place is really small so be prepared to get your order to go unless there's no one there. It's really nicely decorated! They have these cute stools, some books you can browse, a neon fish thing, and a section in the far back of the restaurant where you can sit with a buddy and talk to the cooks. Oh and they also have a small section where you can eat standing up(I love eating standing up) The staff is also so nice!!!! I can't wait to explore their menu this week! read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time! We had the oxtail combo with rice and plantain, the jerk chicken bucket , coleslaw, the macaroni pie. Wow it was all delicious!! The sauce and flavour was delicious. Food was just homey and amazing! The coleslaw was the best I've tasted! It had like a fruity taste. Their hot sauce is a killer ! Definitely recommend you try it!! read more

I'm not much of a Caribbean eater but the food here is top notch. I really enjoy their jerk chicken and also their plantain poutine. It's really worth stopping by here. The plantains are cooked to a perfect level, velvety. It's a very small place, and if you come for lunch during the weekday you will be fighting to get a seat because Ubisoft is right at the corner and everyone goes there. But, if you're passing by, it's worth the wait or get it to go. They also have sauces and little containers for you to take with you. When I went there was a spicy red sauce, a sweet orange one, and an interesting maroon sauce that tasted kind of like a combination. I suggest trying all 3! I've also been told that the oxtail is phenomenal too. read more

Lloydie's - Plantain poutine. - Caribbean Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

So happy to have a new Caribbean place near me with delicious vegetarian options! We shared the vegetarian plate, the mac and cheese and the veggie patty. All was delish but the veggie plate was the best, we agreed we'd be back often for this filling dish, it's so awesome to get a big pile of food with proteins and starches and spices and full flavour that's veg, so many places can't seem to manage this. The beans and rice were sooo good, the plantains were perfect for my taste, sweet and crispy and not soaked in grease, and still hefty and filling. And the salad that came with it all included these lightly pickled cucumbers that were the perfect balance to the rest. We tried the jerk and the red hot sauces since our gentlemanly waiter gave us a thorough introduction, we like hot sauce and can handle spicy but all the sauces here are made with scotch bonnets, so even the 'mild' red sauce is pretty intense. Loved it. The veg patty is actually vegan which is so rare, a great snack to go if you're in the area. And the mac and cheese was highly decadent, a little rich for me but excellent when cut with the red sauce. All in all we ate super well for $18 and loved the warm and chill, well-decorated ambiance. Also huge appreciation for the bio-degradable containers. There are so many shitty things opening in this beloved area, it's nice to see someone come in with something cool and friendly and thoughtful, and at a price point suited to the locals. Wish them everything good. read more

This review is for both locations, St-Viateur and Crescent. O.M.G. When I was in highschool, we had the best spicy beef patties and ever since then, nothing have come close. And Lloydie's patties, I am almost sure now are the same ones we had in school (because apparently they used to deliver to highschools in MTL) Wednesday, I realized by accident that a restaurant was in the Mile-End so my friend and I immediately came in to get patties. I went from getting one to 2. She did the same. An hour later we came back because she wanted more. I was told that they have opened the one on Crescent so the next day, Thursday, I brought a few more friends and had a sit-down lunch. I LOVE how both restos are decorated. You can immediately feel the good vibe when you walk in. The staff is so nice, friendly and attentive. Most of us took the jerk plates and everything was delicious. I even had leftover for lunch today, Friday. 3 days in a row and I'm not even mad. I would definitely come back here. Go! read more

Went here 10 days after it opened for lunch. The place was packed, and yet, the staff managed it well! There is a place to stand up and eat, or a booth. You may want to plan to take to go if you are going at peek hours. Extremely affordable! All portions are large! To try! In the first few days of opening they have let people sample their coconut loaf and their juices, and they are great! I really enjoyed the hibiscus flavor. They have a ton of fun spicy sauces for you to try out as well. Sauces available for purchase, could even be a fun present! The shop is super well designed! Between my colleagues and I, we have now tried everything on the menu! Our favs included: -veggie plate -jerk chicken sandwich (okay to get spicy, it isn't thattttt spicy ;) ) (messy!!) -poutine (their fries are off the hook!!!!) -chicken patty -macaroni and cheese pie (duh!) at $4 this is a steal!! -cucumber salad to cool it all off! read more

Located right in the middle of the very hipster Mile-End area on St-Viateur street, this place aims to serve great Caribbean food. Being kinda not dressed like the crowd of the area, I felt kinda out of place, but that doesn't matter. Went there on a weekday evening with a friend for dinner. Curious from their offerings and having never tasted Carribean food before in my life, I was more than curious. The decor inside was nice and the vibe from the employees was great as well. Going inside the restaurant, you will make your order then move along to collect your order. The seating area is fairly scant, with about enough seats for a dozen people (although most of the customers seemed to be locals coming for take-out). I decided to go for their plate of jerk chicken. It cost about 15$ (iirc) and came with a side of fries, rice, cucumber salad, and fried plantains. I started with the cucumber salad, which was not so great, unfortunately. It was way too acid to my taste. The main plate itself, however, was good. The spices of the chicken were well mixed, with enough taste. Unfortunately, considering my low tolerance for spices, I had some difficulty (my problem). The sides also were good, with the fries well seasoned too. Bottomline, nice place for lunch or dinner. Would recommend if you are craving chicken but want it done differently! read more

Lloydie's - jerk chicken combo - Caribbean Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Dropped in to grab a quick lunch as I happened to be in the neighbourhood for a meeting. The menu is simple and condensed; I decided to grab a sandwich as the spot was full so seating wasn't an option. I went with the spicy (thanks for asking) jerk chicken sandwich; jerk chicken, rice, pickles, and a squirt of the sauce. When they say spicy, they mean it, which is great if you like it hot like me! The chicken was tender, the bread was soft, and the sandwich burst with flavour. The service was relatively quick seeing that it was right on lunch hour too. Great spot if you're looking for something fast and delicious. read more

Great Carribean spot in a cool upbeat neighborhood! So glad that we came here to experience some delicious Jamaican cuisine. My husband said it was the best meal he had on our trip. Note to self, check out the local scene within any city you visit to find food made with love that is affordable. read more

This place was phenomenal. We shared the jerk chicken and it was SO GOOD. Every morsel was delicious. And they have Ting! They also mentioned they have a sample plate to share that has all of the other menu items. We didn't have enough room in our stomachs but have nothing but regret since for not ordering that. All of their food looked so good. Oh, and all their sauces are tasty too. And the place was clean and everyone was friendly and nice. Great, great place. read more

When the weather starts to get cold around here, most of us start to think about warming climate and getting away from the snow. I, on the other hand, think more about cuisine from those warmer climate. My regular weekly errands bring me up to Mile End and right by a relatively new spot in the neighbourhood - Lloydie's. Lloydie's has been around as a producer of Caribbean food in Montreal since 1987 but has only recently opened up a couple of fast food-like restaurants to serve their cuisine. I took the opportunity a few times to try them out and see if they could evoke some warm feelings in the midst of the cold creeping up on us. The menu is short and concise. They have jerk chicken, jerk pork and oxtail served in a few different ways (plate, sandwich or poutine) and with a variety of sides as well. It is fast food so you order at the counter, take it and go. In both cases when I visited the service was quick and very efficient. I tried their ginger beer on my first visit. Super strong ginger flavour - this isn't one of those "sorta" ginger drink where you taste it a bit. It is all ginger, all the time. I enjoyed it as a nice palate cleanser during the meal but it will definitely be an acquired taste for many. First up, I went with the jerk pork poutine. A nice generous portion of fries topped with a gravy, cheese curds and some jerk pork. The fries had a nice cut to them and just a little crunch on the outside. The gravy was light but flavourful and the cheese curds were the right kind of squeak - as one would want in a poutine. The key distinguishing feature here is the pork. The pork was very tender and had tons of flavour - not too spicy but with just enough kick to tell you it's there. Very enjoyable. I also decided to order a side of plantains that first time. The plantains are fried up and tossed with a spicy seasoning mix. I loved the flavour of the plantains but personally thought they were a little too thick sizewise. As a result, they lacked the more crunch I love with my favorite fried plantains. The following visit I went for a plate of oxtail. The plate is served with a side of plantains and either rice or fries - as you wish. The fries are tossed in the same seasoning as the plantains which adds a nice taste to them. The oxtail was wonderful - fall off the bone tender and very flavourful. The stewing liquid/gravy is rich and very deep in flavour. It has a certain sweetness to it - almost chocolatey in nature. Super flavourful meats, nice depth of flavours and solid portions - Lloydie's definitely goes a good job of bringing Caribbean food in a fast food approach. If you want to be the cold, definitely head over to them for a hit of Caribbean heat. Cheers! read more

I wasn't very happy when they forgot to deliver multiple items in my uber eats order, but when I tasted the stewed peas all was forgiven. Immediately! Really tasty. Great compliment to the plantains, rice-n-peas and mango salad. And lots of ginger in the ginger beer - just like I like it. read more

I had the pleasure of trying this spot in the Mile end area for lunch today and I was so excited to do so. Aside from the friendly service there food really packs a punch, we took a few Jamaican patties, a jerk chicken poutine and a jerk chicken sandwich to share. The patties were warm and flaky and the filling was some flavourful beef with a hint of spice, I would have liked it more spicy. The jerk poutine was phenomenal, perfect balance of spice from the jerk blend compliments the delicious gravy and fries. The jerk chicken sandwich was also good, I particularly enjoyed the bread they used, it must have been a corn bread, it was delicious. I would definitely go back and try there other specialties like oxtail and there deserts! Give this place a try, support some of the best jerk in the city! read more

Lloydie's is easily the best place for jerk chicken in Montreal. The jerk pork is outstanding. The rice and peas are amazing. Delicious.

I ordered with Uber eats .. the food was terrible I had to throw it in the garbage .. I ordered the jerk chicken poutine and the vegetarian Pattie .. the chicken tasted terrible .. the jerk sauce seemed uncooked and tasteless .. and the Pattie had no taste .. will never order again read more

The first thing that pops out is the decor, nice and colourful, great graphic design on the menu sign. These things please me. I'm slightly ashamed at how many times I've eaten the jerk chicken poutine but that must mean it's good. For my money, it's one of the best poutines in the city (since Chef Guru closed down, I miss that curry poutine) with some unique flavours you won't find anywhere else. Add some of their hot sauce and ohhh boy you're in flavour town. read more

As much as I liked it. I was a little disappointed in the amount of meat I had in my plate. I got the ox tail stew. Which was tasty... a little too sweet for my palet but I could see why people like it. But the amount of meat was ridiculous. For 18$ I had about 5 pieces of ox tail. Let's just understand this here, ox tail doesn't cost much. And putting 5 pieces in a 18$ plate, you get a lot of margins. Service was a little slow, and I didn't came late and the place was empty. I don't know how they manage. Otherwise, I was really pleased with their hot sauce. Really good. Good points on that. So my overall experience. My plate was filling because I had a lot of rice. The amount of meat is ridiculous and the service is slow. But, it was really flavourful and i will try something else next time. Because maybe it was just the oxtail plate the problem. So I'm giving them 3/5 for this reason. read more

Very flavorful. Good portions. Max and cheese was delicious. Storefront kinda blended in so we couldn't see the place at first glance

I had Lloydie's on my bucket list for a while. Just tried their food recently with take-out for a team lunch. I would say that the jerk chicken is ok more like fast food version of it, but their beef patty is really good and I enjoyed the seasoning. I also tried their Ginger beer, I would say this traditional jamaican drink is too strong for my taste. I think IGA also carries it in a retailer version, would try theirs. read more

I have to say zero stars here. The food is average to below average. I think a ten year-old could cook better jerk pork. I also tried the in-house produced ginger beer, which tasted like something you have to drink before you have a CAT scan in the hospital. BUT! What really bugged me was that as two people eating in, we were given two paper takeout containers, plastic utensils and a side salad served in plastic cup. After we were done the employee took what was left and jammed all the plastic into the garbage. No recycling. Note to owner: look up single use plastics. read more

This was so good! My first Caribbean food experience and I am very satisfied. I got the chicken plate and I am very satisfied with every part of it. The rice was surprisingly flavorful and had so many added touches rather than just being plain rice. The side coleslaw was delightful with what seemed to be coconut flavor that added so much depth and creaminess that balanced the slaw dressing, and was one one of the best coleslaws I've had. The fried plantains were a really nice touch, though I felt maybe they could have been a bit crispier. The chicken was the star of the dish, and was crispy, amazingly seasoned with the right amount of spice, and amazingly tender. A great find! read more

I work nearby Lloydies and it has established itself as an outstanding addition to an already strong lineup of restaurants in the St-Viateur area. If you're looking for something that feels like it's something your grandma made (assuming grandma was from the Carribean) Lloydies is the place for you. At the very least, get one of the patties that put the Lloydies name on the map. read more
