This spot completely blew me away! Those oxtails... I dream about still haha. I was visiting from Las Vegas looking for some oxtails and someone recommended miss likklemores and I'm glad I went! They were so flavorful and tender. Also the oxtail patties and the spicy sauce it comes with is fire!!! 10/10 I will be back whenever I'm in Toronto read more

Miss Likelmore is a stylish, welcoming spot with great energy. The menu is creative, the cocktails are top-tier, and the service is warm and attentive. Perfect for date nights or catching up with friends. I had the a peanut punch infused cocktail, oxtail burger and plantain chips. Highly recommend getting this pairing. My only caviet is that it took a while to get our food and the restaurant playa very loud music. It's still worth checking out for the vibe and better to go on a weeknight that is not Friday. read more

I've been to Ms. Luckilmore's a numerous amount of times and I will never stop going because the food and the ambiance is great. This time around the waiter I had didn't really seem to know the menu as great as I did. He told me that some of the meals had different ingredients in them then were listed on the menu which made no sense to me whatsoever. I would say for management if you do have a new waiter just to train them a little bit more thoroughly on the menu and what the dishes entail. Nevertheless, I'll still be back. They're spending my money read more

There is metered street parking or you can reach it by street car. The interior has low lighting and has a relaxing vibe. The service was really good - we had a couple different servers. Every dish was excellent. The chicken has a kick and is so yum. I thought the coconut rice was my least favorite. I loved the root vegetables. My husband loved his fish. The portion size was good for the price. All the dishes had distinct flare. We would definitely go back. read more

My biggest complaint - the DJ/music is SO loud. And it's clearly not an isolated occurrence; a friend told me the music's been too loud the two times she visited as well. The decor and design is beautiful. The fried fish could've been a bit more seasoned. Fried to perfection and presented beautifully, but a pinch or two more of salt would have taken it there! The staff was great. They worked together so well; we had a combination of two ladies that helped us! read more

I was wandering around, trying to find a decent happy hour, when I stumbled upon Miss Likklemore's. I'd just seen the joint on Top Chef, so I figured why not pop in for a drink and a bite? I grabbed a seat at the bar and began perusing their happy hour menu. For my drink, I opted for the El Presidente ("mount gay eclipse rum, cointreau, dry vermouth, bitters"). It's a solid cocktail. The flavors all worked well together, and it actually complemented my food quite well. I wound up getting the Likkle Patties ("braised oxtail & spicy beef, fermented mango hot sauce"), which I enjoyed very much. The patties are packed with plentiful, flavorful meat, while that hot sauce is zesty and spicy. It's a really good snack. Now I'm obviously curious about Miss Likklemore's standard menu, so I'll certainly be returning. read more

One-of-a-kind, upscale, Caribbean restaurant downtown! Overall, this was a really unique spot. A bit on the pricey side, but something nice to have on occasion. Will come back sometime soon! Food: 4/5 Likkle Patties - 4/5 - Thought these were really unique and tasty; loved the hot sauce that accompanied it. They are oxtail patties as well, so they're unique compared to beef patties. Fried Rock Shrimp - 4/5 - Loved these; full of flavour and what you'd expect! Charcoal Grilled Chicken - 3.5/5 - Not sure why, but I didn't love it. I think it's because I found it a bit too charred. However, the party I was with all loved it. Creek Stone Hanger Steak - 4.2/5 - I loved this because I am a huge fan of chimmichuri. If you are a fan of chimmichuri, you'll like this. Not necessarily the best steak ever, but definitely a great flavour! Dragon Stout Short Ribs - 4.3/5 I think this was my favourite thing on the menu; the beef was so soft and it had a nice savoury flavour. I recommend these! Sweet Potato Mash (not pictured) - 4.5/5 I loved this also; so tasty and it's what I remember the most from the restaurant... I'd get this as a side, especially along with a main with a lot of protein. Atmosphere: 4.5/5 We came on a Saturday night and the atmosphere was bumping. There was a live DJ and the music was so much fun.. they played some afro, rnb, and more. They also play a fun birthday song anytime there's a birthday celebration too. Service - 4.5/5 Our waiter was really friendly and gave us some good recommendations, great service! read more

This dinner was the food highlight of our Toronto trip. Amazing! From the service, upscale lounge like vibes and decor, mood lighting, open/peek through kitchen to see as the chefs were cooking and of course the food made this a top dining experience. Our server (Jules I believe is her name) was the best! She was extremely attentive, gave good vibes and recommendations as people were trying to make meal decisions, warm and friendly, and really made the night special in allowing us to have two birthday desserts as I was celebrating my birthday and so was another friend in our group . All of the staff were extremely polite, friendly and welcoming actually, with someone (I believe a manager) coming over to make sure we were having a good experience once or twice during our dining experience. Now to the food. Because I saw reviews about it - and I love me some good seafood - I ordered the Fried Snapper. When I typically order this from Jamaican places, it is usually made escoveich or stewed down with the vegetables. This was different but still felt familiar because the vegetables were still escoveich but on the side and, of course, the snapper was completely fried with some fillet pieces fried and placed on top of the whole snapper. It was delicious! Well seasoned, nice crispy. The vegetables were cooked well also and the Debbie's hot pepper sauce has a nice kick to it - I like spicy foods, so choose to order that or any of the pepper sauces at your own risk . I had to orders of the Likklemore Punch which is their version of a rum punch and babyyyy, I was not disappointed! The rum was rumming but not overpowering in liquor taste - but you know liquor is there lol. And the dessert was - literally and figuratively - the icing on the cake for an amazing dining experience. Me and the other birthday girl ordered desserts to compliment one another - the Miss Paula's Carrot Cake and the Rum Raisin Ice Cream. The ice cream was also giving good amounts of rum to it and the cake was moist and tasty. Wonderful food, good music and vibes and excellent service... Highly recommend checking them out! read more

Ugh I truly hate leaving 3 star reviews. If I'm being honest it's a borderline two. Let me explain. Ok so first off our hostess/ waitress was incredible! She really made our experience great! She gave us drink recommendations which was spot on and explained the menu to us. Now, getting to the menu. Here's my thing...titles are important! When you read the title and description of a thing, you then set an expectation for what you are about to get...that is the biggest reason for the two star borderline experience . The menu listed doubles. If you are Caribbean, when you hear or read doubles you think Trini pocket sized stuffed with your nice curry chick peas, All the things right? Well, no. It was served as what I would call a chick pea taco! It was crispy shelled dough with chickpeas in it. Not only did it not have that yummy curry taste, they added cilantro . Like why call it doubles , why not just call it tacos. I was so thrown off it left me disappointed, Then we get to the Jamaican oxtails. Now I'm Jamaican so don't tell me bout no oxtails and call it Jamaican and then serve what they served. While the meat was incredibly tender...that taste was NOT IT! Jerk chicken was dry! Hands down the best item on the menu is the fry fish! Now that thannggg was incredible. You HAVE to order it. Forget everything else and just come here for that. As far as sides go, the Mac was just okay to me. Pass on the rice..it was dry. But the sweet mash!!!yeaaaas that's the one! That was my fav !! The music was great. Vibe was cool. To me the experience was a let down because the menu seemed like a Jamaican or Caribbean experience but there were no Caribbean flavors outside of scotch bonnet . I'm not saying don't come here. I'm just saying manage your expectations read more

This restaurant had a very nice aesthetic and staff were helpful. I loved the likkle patties and Mac pie with oxtail on top - 10/10! We also got the Jerk chicken but I thought it was a too dry and not really worth it in my opinion. Their tres leches with mango on top was absolutely delicious and the presentation was beautiful.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Likkle Brunch blew me away from start to finish. The service was warm and welcoming, and the food--wow. Those likkle patties? Absolute perfection. And that hot sauce...

The food was delicious. I would say if you are into oxtail to try to oxtail hash! The potatoes are perfectly seasoned and crispy. The music was great if you are into the last 90s/early 2000s top 100 music. The crowd was a bit lively but it was pretty low key. Two thumbs up!! read more

Not going to provide a lengthy, overstuffed, review. Instead let's cut to the chase. The Amazing: the jerk chicken, honestly will be thinking about this chicken for the rest of my life - a must get! The service and ambiance were also top tier, great for date nights and something different. The Good: The appetizers, Doubles and Likkle Patties, and drinks (mock-tails) were solid. Everything was good, but not memorable. The Meh: The fried okra was over saturated with oil and the breading to okra ratio was off. Final say: A must stop, especially for the jerk chicken, as a newer gem to the Toronto food scene! read more

For me, a restaurant's a hit when I'm already planning on who I can return with during my first meal. Such was the case with Miss Likklemore's, one spoon of the sock-you-in-the-mouth rice from the crab XO ($62) and I was hooked. If risotto made sweet love to a tropical gumbo, perhaps this is would be their love child. To say it's flavourful is an understatement: there's a rich savouriness, hits of tangy spice from pickled chilis, a sweet tropical essence from pineapple (?) and toasted coconut chips, and a hit of freshness from the occasional cilantro. If Miss Likklemore's was a real person, I sense she wouldn't care about etiquette. The jerk chicken ($35) is carved but served bone-in so that those who are dainty can stick with the hunks of tender breast meat, but the real chicken fans will gladly grab onto the drumstick, thigh, or the ultra-flavourful wing. There wasn't a dry portion on the bird and the flavours were bang on - a subtle spice that builds and lingers on the tongue but not overly pungent. If you want an extra boost of flavour, more gravy is included to douse and dip. Given the oxtail ($65) is swimming in gravy, it somewhat resists getting cold. Yet, you'll want a few friends to order this sizeable dish as the pieces of beef are huge and meaty, the size of a short rib, cooked just to the point of tender without being overly soft. Still, after some of the more flavourful dishes, I did find the oxtail blander in comparison... ideally, this would be served with a hot sauce so diners could amp up the flavour on the gravy. And it's a sauce you won't want to waste so make sure to order a side of fragrant coconut rice ($12). Of all the dishes, only the fried snapper ($75) disappointed. While it was beautifully presented and the deboned fillets were cooked to flakey perfection, it was so heavily seasoned that the saltiness gave it a bitter tone. Ultimately, I had to scrape the snapper's flesh out of the breading to enjoy it. Even then, I hardly needed the escovitch dipping sauce, the fish's flesh already salty enough, indicating how much seasoning was used on the batter that it'd seep through so thoroughly. On both weeknight visits, the service was attentive and top-notch, dishes arrive at a good clip without feeling overly rushed. If I had one complaint, it'd be nonchalant attitude to criticism. After each dish was presented, our server would give us ten minutes then stop by to see how things were tasting - us raving about how good it is, of course. Except for the fried snapper where I commented how overly salted it was that it's barely edible. Disappointingly, there wasn't a reaction... no "sorry to hear about that, I'll let the chef know", no offer for a replacement, nada. In my opinion, if a restaurant's not ready to right a wrong, they shouldn't bother asking for feedback to start. read more

Great food! Can't stop thinking about their beef patties! Started off the meal with with a cocktail. Can't recall which one it was but the one with the egg white froth - and wow it was delicious! The food here was absolutely amazing! And had me wanting to come back again even before the meal ended! Atmosphere is also great and spacious with friendly servers. Here's what we got: Likkle Patties 5/5 - these are mini beef patties that are made of braised oxtail and spicy beef. Served with a side of fermented mango hot sauce. These were ah-mazing, it's a bougie beef pattie that is out of this world! Nuff Nuff Slaw 5/5 - So pretty to look at! It's served with papaya vinaigrette, compressed pear, jicama, kohlrabi and peanuts. This was so refreshing and crunchy to the palette. Paired oh so perfectly to our main dish! Slow Braised Oxtail 5/5 - The star of the show! This was so well cooked, such deep flavours and fall off the bone! I wanted to slurp up the sauce on the plate! A must get! To end off the meal, we got the Miss Paula's Carrot Cake to share. It's topped with cream cheese, candied ginger and walnut crumble. This was also a 5/5. But let me tell you, it is large. And I mean, LARGE. It's a full cake meant for sharing at $18. Trust me, we were shocked for a party of 2 to get such a large dessert! Check out the restaurant as the flavours are so rich and deep. Delicious! read more

Miss Likklemore's - Rice and salad - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The whole point of going to a restaurant is to experience food and vibes you can't get or cook at home. Well... I ended up at this restaurant as my husband decided he wanted to have a birthday get-together here. The location is nicely situated on King St W, and it gives off fun vibes. They are extremely welcoming, and the service was extremely good. Our party was a little late getting to our reservation, but our server wasn't frustrated and was even kind enough to tell me in two minutes, happy hour stops, a.k.a order one of these drinks now. I got the hint and ordered one of their cocktails. The selection of spirits is mind-blowing. They have everything from different countries and some you didn't even think of. (Antigua for me) I ordered the cheddar biscuits and the Likkle patties. The likkle patties were tasty, but as a Southern woman, I was not a fan of the biscuits. The jalapeno butter was delicious, and I even tried slathering that on to see if it helped save the biscuits. The biscuits were still dry to me. My husband ended up ordering the Jerk, side of collards, and my niece ordered the oxtail. I have to say the food was extremely disappointing. The jerk chicken was swimming in sauce, which was more like BBQ sauce. My Jamaican husband was not a fan of it. I figured it was one dish that maybe it was an off night for them. The collard greens wanted me to cry home to my meema as they were not done properly and were still raw. My niece's oxtail was not cooked well and should have been cooked more. Her boyfriend ordered the steak, and that was good, but again, it's a steak. Nothing to write home about. For me, the patties were the winner, and I ended up ordering another set as my entree as I wanted to order they no longer had. I did order their Mac pie, which was tasty. In short, the service was good, and the spirit choice was amazing. The food left a lot to be desired, especially for the price. The mac pie and the patties are the way to go if you are stopping by. read more

I've been to Miss Likklemore's for dinner before so when I heard they were doing brunches on Sundays, I was excited and grabbed the gang. Here's what I liked and wasn't really a fan of : 1) Food and drinks came pretty quickly. Nice ambience but music seemed a bit all over the place switching between Michael Jackson to reggae 2) I got the jerk bacon eggs benedict, which was reasonably priced for the portion size. Bacon had a slight spicy flavour and the poached eggs were cooked well but other than that the dish tasted pretty average. My friends thought the oxtail hash was good but the oxtail burger was too salty. The likkle patties are always a hit! 3) $8 juices is quite crazy since it's just a regular glass size. I got the passion fruit juice which was good but def not worth $8 5) Servers were confused about who ordered what. The patties were to be shared with everyone but got placed in front of 3 of our friends. The full Caribbean breakfasts were also placed in front of the wrong persons. Later on, a server came to our table with a Dancehall Queen cocktail, which no one ordered. One server apologized saying that this was their 3rd weekend offering brunch. 6) I must have missed the disclaimer about the auto 20% tip for a table of 6 because I was surprised to see that on our bill. It was not verbally communicated to us before seating. 7) No carrot cake for dessert! Not sure if the restaurant knows that their carrot cake is actually incredible and should consider offering it for brunch as well, even if it's served as a cupcake or something. I'm still a fan of their restaurant and glad I tried their brunch but not sure if I would go back for brunch again read more

Ambiance 10/10 I had a reservations for 8:30 and the table is not ready it took about an extra 15 minutes for them to get the table ready for a party of five Of their menu is pretty much all shareables and if you came alone you would spend a lot of money trying to create your own meal. The drinks were delicious I had the electric Avenue, to my friends got the rampage and two of my friends got an old fashioned everybody enjoyed it their drinks I tried the patties which were delicious they're filled with beef and oxtail combination they are pretty tiny but it is yummy I would give it an 8/ 10 I also got the lamb platter which kind of tasted like stew barbecue it was an interesting flavor I think it would have tasted better with coconut rice but they serve it with roti which I don't feel compliments it at all the hot sauce that came with the patties as well as the lamb platter was delicious. The lamb is super tender and it's a lot I split it with one other person and we definitely had leftovers 7/10 The macpie is more on the traditional American mac and cheese side rather than Caribbean macpie 7/10 All the other food that was at the table I did not try but there is no dish that was horrible to the point where we didn't want it Surface was great and the manager Ali who was there was really funny and attentive read more

Hey Ya'll! It's your girl here. I experienced Miss Likklemore's about 3 weeks ago. Let's start with the interior design/vibe. I would rate that a 10/10. The restaurant is beautiful and the dj was great from beginning to end. The service- a 5/10. We were dining for my cousins birthday and we expected to be greeted by someone who match the vibe of this restaurant, but unfortunately not. Our waiter for the night didn't seem as enthusiastic about coming to our table, interacting with us, or listening to our concerns. The Food- a 5/10. As a Black Caribbean woman who loved to travel and had tried food around the world the food was very disappointing. A lot of the food had plenty of citrus, pickled, or vinegar based that shouldn't be in those specific cuisines such as doubles and the braised collard greens. I would NOT recommend. The oxtail also could have been cooked a little more. It was very chewy. The Crab XO could've been a good dish if the rice was not too mushy. I would say the two best things I tried were the likkle patties and the lobster chow mein (not that much lobster but I'll still take it). I had the opportunity to speak to the chef of the restaurant who was very pleasant and tried to convince me otherwise about the dishes but I wasn't sold. This establishment won't get my money again but I wish it the best! read more

OH MY GOD. This is the best jerk chicken I have ever had. This is a new addition to King West and it's bustling. My friend and I tried to walk in around 8:15/20pm on a Thursday evening after a workout (in our gym wear). The ambience is pretty classy and everyone was dressed up. We were told that they were booked and the wait time would be atleast an hour. Disappointed we checked for reservations online and were able to get a table for 9pm. We showed up half an hour later, this time with a reservation at the bar. We got a round of drinks and plantain for our starters. We then got 1/2 jerk chicken and Mac Pie to share (recommendation from our server). Our server was incredibly nice and attentive. She kept checking in to see how we were doing. The food? Blown away. Literally the best jerk chicken I've had. The sauce it came with had a little kick to it. All in all the initial encounter with the hostess wasn't the best, taking away a star for that, especially since we were able to snag a table 30mins later. However the food was undeniably worth it. 10/10 will come again! read more

Dark swanky vibe, in all the right ways. Felt classier the moment I walked in. Didn't try the food so can't comment other than to say it smelled amazing. What I can say is that it had the best rum collection I've ever seen. Ever. Bottles upon bottles, page after page - if you enjoy rum then you need to put this on your list. Not surprisingly, the bartender made two excellent rum cocktails from a few bottles in the collection. Great thing is, even if you don't like rum the selection is so amazing that there's certain to be many other cocktails you do like. Really loved this place and will happily return. read more
