Cool little cozy bar on dudas west. My first time here was very pleasant however it gets really crowded and loud so it's kinda hard to talk. The music is good tho I've tried some of their cocktails and they're all really good. Very fruity and tropical flavours. If you're into cocktails on def the place for it. read more

This review is for Uber Eats delivery. The chicken patties are absolutely amazing, the crust is so flaky and flavourful and the filling is packed with super juicy chunks of chicken (how?!) and peppers. I got one but truly, I may get 10 next time. The oxtail with beans and rice was good, too fatty for me, but thats my fault I should have known its a fatty cut. The pikliz is something you need in your fridge, crunchy, sour and spicy, I'm planning on using it in grilled cheese and on some fish. The cocktail kits are great for a gift, I got the dark and stormy that comes with house-made ginger syrup, lime, rum, and club soda. Definitely going to get some more. read more

There is something great about a dark and sweaty neighborhood rum bar buzzing with people from the neighborhood and the smell of fried plantains. Though we just came in for one drink it certainly left an impression. A bit outside the tourist sections of Toronto, Rhum Corner felt really local which was a good thing. They make a mean Mai Tai and the Spiced Rhum and ginger was excellent as well. Definitely worth it. read more

I hate writing negative reviews but... I was highly disappointed after eating at Rhum Corner. I'm Haitian American. Both of my parents were born in Haiti so I am very familiar with Haitian food. However, the food they serve at Rhum Corner is NOT Haitian food. You can't just make red kidney beans and rice and call it Haitian food. I guess since most of the patrons that frequent Rhum Corner have never had Haitian food so they don't know the difference, but I do. I was interested in having the cashew chicken with rice. When I asked the waiter what kind of rice is served with the chicken he just said "seasoned". In Haitian cuisine we have many kinds of rice so replying by saying "seasoned" doesn't differentiate anything because all of our foods are seasoned. I tried asking my question to another waitress and she didn't know either. I ordered the cashew chicken anyway and realized it came with diri kole and two fried plantain. The chicken and rice wasn't bad, it just wasn't Haitian by any means. Also the portions were small. I recommend the owners buy Haitian products to make these dishes like a Haitian brand cooking rice such as Madame Gougousse or Haitian Princess and Maggi bouillon cubes. It makes a huge difference. Also, I see a lot of reviewers talk about the drinks being good. I did not order a drink, maybe that would've made my experience better. read more

This is one of the best places in the city to eat and drink at. Out of every cocktail the dark and stormy was the best in my opinion and each dish was packed with perfect flavor and texture. Amazing food. The service is great. Everyone is polite and helpful. The pictures show the ceviche with plantain and griot (indescribably delicious) also holy Crap their pork ribs are the best ribs I think I've ever had. You will not be disappointed. Music is bomb too, soo good read more

Love the atmosphere. Love the fun servers. Love the washroom. Love the rum. Love the cocktails. Overall, lovely date spot - very cozy. Was thinking about hitting up Hoof Bar and Cocktail Bar as well, but this place was comfortable enough for us not to go hopping around. read more

Great drinks and vibes! Bartenders were friendly and will def be back when I'm in Toronto!

I am having a really hard time rating this place mostly because I grew up eating most of these menu items at home and have gone to countless Haitian restaurant including some in Haiti. Some major differences would include the prices (which are quite high for typical Haitian food and the portions), the decor, which in this case feature art from the owner Haitian husband and the fact that not one person working in the kitchen or on staff speak Creole (this was a deal breaker for my dad to come try this place!) That being said the effort is there and unless you are used to these menu items you will for the most part leave with a happy tummy... here's the breakdown: Most people are surprised to hear that Haitian food isn't typically spicy.. chalk it up to the french influence but we love our carbs, rich flavours, and sauces! And I guess that was the one big complaint I had overall about Rhum Corner there are virtually no traditional sauces to accompany any of their dishes... where is the ti-malice, sauce pois noir or meat sauce? The griot was what I was really excited to try and I think they missed the mark. First off they trimmed way too much fat off the pork (which is where most of the flavour comes from) and inexplicably added a sweet sauce to the mix to help compensate for the lack of moisture in the meat (again from taking away the fat). Haitian food is not sweet and we generally don't mix salty and sweet together, so although it didn't taste too bad, but real griot is AMAZING and this re-invention falls quite short. I would also pass on the pikliz, which is our cabbage slaw. This table top condiment was way too vinegary and I have a feeling it's because it sits in an open container at room temperature all day instead of remaining crisp and slightly spicy as it should. My favourite items were the Accra and banan pezé generally speaking they did a great job both with taste and texture. At the end of the day I've decided to give Rhum corner 3 stars because although not all it's menu items tasted particularly inspired, I like the idea of people perhaps going home and learning a bit more about Haitian food and culture. Also as a bar this place is pretty great. read more

I know this place just opened last Sunday but we had such a good experience here on Thursday night that I think it's fair to give it a hearty thumbs up. First off, the value proposition here is insanely good. Small plates are $4-8 and mains are $11-12. I'd say that if you're hungry you would need a main + one small plate and if you're just looking for a light meal you could probably just do a main. We were a group of 7 so we ordered most of the things on the menu just to give them a try and even then our bill was very reasonable. Also great is that you can order Barbancourt rum in a 1/4, 1/2 or full bottle for $24, $48, and $98 dollars respectively (though they may want to check the math on that last one) and it gets brought to your table with a bucket of big ice cubes (which melt less quickly), a glass bottle of coke, and lime wedges. If you're here with a group this is kind of a no brainer. As a side note, I'm not sure what the intent is for the hours of this place but I hope they keep it open late on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays as I would love to come here late night to drink a couple of rum drinks and order a few snacks with friends instead of packing into a bar. Re: the food, it was uniformly good and consists primarily of hearty meats with rice and legume sides. Haitian Picklese (basically a slightly spicy pickled cabbage) comes in a jar at every table and is recommended to accompany every dish to help balance the rich flavours. My personal favourite dishes were: 1) Goat - which was stewed until tender with nutmeg and other spices and served with legumes. 2) Griot - a traditional Haitian dish that consists of slightly tangy fried pork shoulder (and possibly belly?) served with rice 3) Salt cod patty - like a Jamaican beef patty but with a peppery salt cod filling (which gave it a distinctly Portuguese vibe 4) Dessert - which consisted of fried plantains on a scoop of remarkably soft and creamy coconut ice cream. The space had a cool vintage Carribean vibe, and was made very warm with the addition of lots of candle light and an ecclectic mix of Carribean folk music as the soundtrack. Service was very friendly and attentive. In conclusion, go here; it's really good, really affordable and might even spark a further interest in Haitian culture and cuisine (It did for me - I just spent the last hour in a Wikipedia wormhole). -Brian read more

My second time here - consistently great food and cocktails. I had the painkiller #3 and the spiced rhum and ginger, so delicious. I think their cocktails are reasonably priced for Toronto. Special shoutout to the staff. Everyone is very friendly and relaxed. No one will be rushing you out the door. Make sure you visit the unisex washroom and enjoy the wallpaper. :) read more

We came here for drinks on a Saturday night around 10pm and we're quickly seated at the bar. Initially I was excited to have stumbled upon here as the music and ambiance seemed low key yet trendy and fun. Partner and I ordered the rum punch which was to serve 2 people. The bartender came by with two glasses with ice inside and opened up a bottle and poured it in the glasses. That is the rum punch. A premixed drink from a glass bottle. Not even authentic tasting. Service is truthfully subpar. They don't seem to know basic service etiquette. I saw staff let a patron ask 4 other guests move down to the end of the bar to accommodate her party of 3. A waitress also asked us to move seats as well. Like wth seriously? That is very unprofessional to have people shuffle around like musical chairs throughout the night. read more

I'm a huge fan. Rhum Corner's the newest offering from the folks behind the Black Hoof and Cocktail Bar; their third restaurant in the area, I'm convinced they're set on slowly taking over the entire city block. I have no problem with that if it means we keep getting restaurants and watering holes of this caliber. Jenn Agg seems determined to build a culinary paradise one dumpy heritage building at a time, and Toronto's richer for it. My first visit to Rhum Corner was on their opening weekend, where I experienced no hiccups, great service, and perfect small plates while we were waiting for a reservation at Yours Truly. I returned to solo it a couple weeks later, and once again received excellent service. Two days after that I took a friend, and as usual everything was impeccable. Look, I'm not generally a pina colada kind of guy. I like my cocktails molecular and innovative, or classic and dating back to prohibition. If it's got bourbon I'm probably sold. If it's got a folding umbrella I'm going to do everything I can to contain my disgust and not drive the pointy end through your eye, throat, or eardrum. But damn. That pina colada. Rhum Corner offers a narrow menu of well-priced and expertly mixed cocktails, and the pina colada's a standout. This is not the overly-sweet, embarrassingly unrefined beverage you'll order at a Jack Astor's or something. The team here knows their stuff, and they do not mess around. The pina colada's well balanced, refreshing, and at eight bucks there's just nothing here to argue with. The daiquiri's another balanced offering that should please a refined tippler, or anyone looking to get their Hemingway on. The Dark and Stormy's simply the best I've ever had, anywhere. The ginger's deliciously strong, and the flavor profile's deep enough to give you something to think about. The Wray and Ting's solid, but for my tastes wasn't as good as the other three cocktails. I know next to nothing about rum, but my more rum-enabled dining companions have made favorable comments about the vast selection. I don't know if there's another bar in Toronto with such a breadth of choice. I've yet to hit any of their mains, but all the small plates are just amazing drinking food. The Bananes Frites are crispy, chewy, and immensely salty - perfect to pair with a sweet frozen cocktail. The Accra's delicious, accompanied by a peppery slaw and like the Frites, perfect for sopping up alcohol. Both are fried to perfection with hardly a trace of grease; everything's light, but satisfying. The Salt Cod Patty's flavorful and memorable, bridging the gap between snack and main. Nothing I've had at Rhum Corner is particularly complicated or layered, but everything's executed perfectly and the flavors are all spot on. It's a great place to just grab a couple drinks and chat, or to burn 45 minutes as you wait for a table elsewhere. The service is impeccable and the whole place really hit the ground running. The Black Hoof team has yet to disappoint. read more

A hidden gem that is worth rediscovering again and again. This place rocks on so many levels. From the ambiance and the friendly staff to the amazing food and reasonable prices...Rhum Corner got it all right! Definitely order their Accra - it's some kind of root vegetable mashed, then formed into a croquette then fried and tossed with a bit of salt. They are addictive as ever and you will find yourself ordering plate after plate. Other must orders include their banana frites (savoury not sweet), macaroni gratin (generous helping of cheese and cream with a breadcrumb topping for just the right amount of texture) and ox tail entree (brilliantly braised served with white rice and a black bean sauce to die for). Finally the turkey leg entree is a must try. The leg is braised to perfection where the meat is falling off the bone and served with black rice expertly seasoned with mushroom broth (I think) and Maggi sauce - can you say YUMMY? Bottom line: excellent food with a small but brilliantly executed menu with non-pretentious prices. What's not to love about this place? Tip: Double check your bill. They made a $200 mistake on ours. read more

Chilly on the outside and warm on the inside.This place has some good tings going on. NOW magazine is way harsh with the meh rating. Are there lots of Hoof haters? In some ways this spot comes off as cool and contemporary, but the overall feeling in there is pretty warm. Think string lights, bright murals, comforting flavours and friendly service (provided by the co-owner and Port-Au-Prince native, Ronald Jean, on the eve I was there). Oh, and there's the rum! I tried: the salad, accra, red snapper with shrimp, legumes w/ goat, pikliz, wray and ting and slushy daiquiri. I'm going back for dos goat tings. read more

This is the best cocktail bar/restaurant in Toronto IMHO (and I've been to some good ones)! Their cocktails were refreshing, bright, and delicious. And their food is equally good and perfectly seasoned! I recommend the Griot for a snack and their version of a Dark n' Stormy called the "Spiced Rhum and Ginger." The cucumber shiso daiquiri was also very good! Cheers! read more

I just loved the atmosphere. All food was made to order. The whole fish was delish!!! My next visit to Toronto will require a stop here. read more

Rhum Corner - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came in on a busy Friday night around 7pm, but boy did it get even busier the whole time we were there. Met two of my best friends for some time on dundas west. Nabbed 3 seats at the front window as the previous group was leaving. Service was great and personable, drinks were recommended and ordered. (Dark & Stormy and nice glass of red) For food we picked: Fried Accra (came with addcitive spicy slaw... mouth is drooling) Oxtail with rice and friend plantains (Flavorful, the purple bean sauce was delicious) All in all with the music and environment was a great experience. read more

Aside from a few dishes, I've really never had Haitian food, so I can't speak to the authenticity. I can, however, speak to knowing how to have a fun time with good food, and Rhum Corner certainly delivered. I really enjoyed the Dark and Stormy, and my goat dinner was fabulous. It's one of these typical Toronto places where the cocktails are the same price as the mains. You know the drill, about $70 for a dinner for two, but you leave a bit wobbly and it's worth every penny. The decor is divine, and whisked me away to the warm and fuzzies of sitting on a beach with a mai tai in one hand and a cigar in the other... only with more goat. Gotta love more goat. read more

The reason why I tried this place is because a friend of mine recommended it to me. We were a group of 5 and luckily, we got a table right away. Service: The service and staff was awesome! Our server was very attentive (I don't remember her name because it was quite loud). I also spilled water on the table and someone went to our table and cleaned it right away, plus giving me a fresh glass of water. Our server knew the menu items and described all the dishes in a professional yet mouthwatering way! Atmosphere/Location: It's a hidden gem. It is right beside black hoof. The atmosphere was very dark with candle lights but very festive. Price: I would say the alcohol was pretty expensive. We ordered a pina colada ($8), mojito ($10), Monster ($23, drink for 2) Food: OH BOY, IT WAS DELICIOUS!! Normally, I'm a type of person that only eats basic protein. My friend recommended these dishes: *** ALL mains come with banana frites: - Pork Ribs: comes with 3 pieces, rice and banana frites, very tender, decent portion - Ox Tail and Bean Sauce: Can't describe it other than it's super delicious! - Legumes with Goat: A lot of bones but hey the sauce that comes with it is absolutely yummy! - Whole Fried Fish: huge portion!! We finished it all. Very crispy and cooked perfectly. Seasoned well and I love the onions on top. They don't overpower the dish. - Griot (Street Style): Good starter and decent portion as well Dessert: There is only one option but we ordered the rum cake. The cake was really moist and there is a compote on top to add sweetness and create balance in the dish. Overall, I am a happy customer. It's not something that I would eat everyday but I find their dishes very hearty and more of comfort food. Will definitely come back! Oh and for 5 people who ordered an alcoholic beverage, our total was roughly 175+ but we paid $40 each person including tip. read more

Have been here a dozen times, can't believe it's taken me so long to write a review! Favorite place (bar or restaurant) in Toronto, hands down. The staff are incredibly friendly and remember repeat customers, often by name. The drinks are some of the best you'll find in the city, especially when you consider the prices. The Dark & Stormy and Wray & Ting are somehow only $9 and $10 respectively, but are strong, well-balanced and delicious. Their other cocktails are more expensive but all 2-2.5 ounces, you really can't go wrong. The food is even better than the drinks, especially the Mac & Cheese (best in the city). The Griot is also fantastic. Most importantly, the music and atmosphere is really welcoming and you always feel like you're at a private resort instead of downtown Toronto. I always bring friends visiting the city here and they fall in love with it. read more

What a great little spot. Mind boggling assortment of rums (full disclosure: rum's not really my booze of choice) and classic island cocktails including Mai Thai, Dark and Stormy, Cuba Libre, etc. I got the Fresco, which arrived in a charming copper mug, followed by their house slushie Daiquiri. The food was solid if not plain -- nothing fancy, basically proteins, rice, and beans. We started with the accra, (kind of like a hush puppy) and got fish (it was bass) & oxtail for mains. Next visit I will most certainly be getting the macaroni gratin, which looked amazing. The space is cozy with great decor. Best bathroom I've seen in awhile. (Can see how it could become uncomfortably close come late night and weekends like its sister establishments Cocktail Bar and Black Hoof). read more

The ambience and small bites of this place definitely deserve a 5star rating. The cocktails while tasty don't pack much of a punch and are sized on the small side. Nice spot read more

My favorite gastronomic experience while visiting Toronto. Service was just as good as the food; friendly, forthcoming, fast. I tried the frescos - and let me tell y'all... You shouldn't leave this place without at least trying one (or two). Shaved ice, a sweet syrup, and rum. Mmhmm. I also got to make an honorific mention to the atmosphere and music selection; Haitian tunes grooving, dim lights... Love this place. read more

Great Haitian Vibe. We had snacks and it reminds me of home. Food taste good. And that haitian music tho. On point! Kitchen closes at midnight. Good service. Really nice place. The only thing is that the drinks portions are really small for the prices. But they're so good! read more

Dinner was a no brainer here when I saw the menu. I mean, who could resist such a deliciously described Accra and that the had goat on the menu. GOAT. So yes, I got the goat before it could get mine. (bad pun, yes) And it was deliciously fall-off-the-bone and draped over a silky polenta-esque base. Awesomeness on a plate. The dark & stormy I ordered was a citrusy-gingery mix that brought to mind tropical beaches that weren't dark and stormy. A far cry from the slow, creeping chill of Toronto's weather. The decor was warm, inviting and friendly. The staff were the same. I'd definitely come back here and just hang out at the bar the next time I decide to trek up to the great white north. read more

This is the new spot from the owner of The Black Hoof. It's a great concept - celebrate the food and drink of the Caribbean. There are places devoted to bourbon, scotch and tequila. Now add rum to the list! As expected, they have a lot of different kinds of rum from a lot of different places. We went on Saturday night and sat at the bar - it wasn't crowded when we arrived but by 9PM the place was full. Tables were occupied by large groups enjoying bottles of rum with coke and lime. We enjoyed some rum drinks and delicious food. The banana fritters were addictive - we ordered more. Definitely want to go back to try the goat and everything else on the menu. Delicious. Nice vibe. Will be back in the colder months to pretend I am somewhere warm. read more

Stopped by here for drinks on Saturday. Arrived early enough to be able to get a table--by 8:30 there was a considerable line up. Ordered apps to start banana frites, Accra and the Chicken patty. The Accra was my favorite of the 3 reminded me of seasoned breadfruit. Banana frites are salty, crunchy and pare well with the rum based drinks. Chicken patty was just ok-my least fave. The dark n stormy I had was excellent you can tell they use quality mixers it had a strong ginger beer as its base which I like but not so strong that your coughing from the ginger aftertaste. For a main I had the fish served with rice & peas(beans) portion was on the small side served on rustic tin style plates. Fish was well cooked however had a strong odor which could be remedied by liming the fish prior to cooking. Rice and beans were ok. Loved the pickled cabbage served with the mains very tasty stuff. Great place to stop by for apps and drinks, decor is creative. Music was at a moderate level when we arrived then was turned up so high as the tables were filled we could only shout at each other across the table--too loud. Staff are efficient and friendly. read more

Wow the ambience is great. The food is so tasty and delicious. I will definitely be back. Food: whole fried fish- amazing Oxtail- so much flavour and tasty that I wanted to order another plate Chicken- tasty Cons: drinks are pretty small sizes for the price. But they are tasty as well. Did I mention that the food is unreal!! Will definitely be back read more

Great and fun place for delicious bites and good Rhum cocktails !! The only small minus was the music getting too loud towards our end of the Friday evening, like 11pm but that's understandable! Prices are reasonable and service is GOOD! Will be back! read more

Came to check out this spot the week after it opened, so I was really excited to see what this place had to offer. The mood inside is dark and inviting. I felt like I was on vacation, right away. The ambiance is great, put together with good music, hanging lights, brick walls, wooden stools, the large beautiful picture or painting of what seems to be a king and queen. Onto the even better stuff: You can buy rum by the bottle for the table ($25 for a 1/4 bottle, $100 for the whole bottle). We got a 1/4 bottle of rum, some appetizers and it was well priced. Loved the fried plantain and coconut ice cream dessert, seriously super good. Definitely am coming back. read more

Great no frills rum cocktails and good caribbean food. I don't like tostones as much as most people but for whatever reason their tostones (fried plantain chips) are just better than most. We also shared their meatballs beans and rice platter which I thought was excellent. read more

I've only been to Rhum Corner once to meet some friends for a drink -- was only there for an hour but really enjoyed the place; it gave a really cool/ chill vibe. I really enjoyed the ambiance and the great music playing -- even better with a great drink on hand. Place is a bit small but cozy. Will definitely come back! read more

I've been to Rhum Corner several times. The drinks are really tasty ---dark and stormy is one of my favourites--- and the vibe here is one of the best in the city. they play great summery, fun and upbeat latin music that makes you happy. Also, the washroom is one of the cleanest and nicely decorated in Toronto. It seems like they put a lot of thought into making this place feel warm and welcoming. read more

I am Haitian . Both my mother and father were born in Haiti , I myself I was raised in Haiti. I can say that the food was good I was a bit disappointed there is not a bigger Haitian presence. I could not find any Haitian waiters, nor was the food truly authentic although tasty. I feel for the price more effort should be put towards purchasing Haitian products to truly give the Haitian experience. Nevertheless it's Haitian owner so I will be back as often as possible in hopes to support and suggest a more indulgent Haitian experience. Ayiti Cheri read more

I'm thrilled to have this fun spot in my new neighbourhood. You walk into a very casual space, with slightly overly loud music, but that's OK, it's part of the vibe. The hostess is always on point and very welcoming, and the vibe is nice. The PIÑA COLADA is amazing. I've almost never liked the syrupy white stuff that ends up in my glass at other restaurants, but here the frozen piña colada tastes like actual pineapples and coconuts were harmed in the making of it! At $8 it's refreshing and boozy, a definite winner. In terms of other drinks, they do some reasonable to pricey cocktails. Their beer is $5.50 per pour...I don't call it a pint, because despite not being specified on the menu, there was no way it was anywhere near a pint in volume. Boring beers too. Lots of rare rums on the menu, but didn't investigate pricing. The FOOD is tasty. I've tried the cashew chicken and the goat with legumes. First off, ignore the server that tells you to order 2 snacks and a plate. Unless you're training for some sort of eating competition, that's just silly. I couldn't even finish the portion size of one plate. Even the snacks are pretty big...2 people could subsist on 3-4 snacks even. The goat with legumes was packed with flavour...the rather small bits of bone left in it was a bit amateurish though. OVERALL, really a fun and nice place for a casual bite and a tasty beverage. read more

Rhum Corner has been one of my favourite spots for awhile; the good food and relaxed atmosphere always made for a nice evening. However, after a recently terrible experience, there is no way that I will ever be going back. As an ode to my previously good experiences at Rhum Corner, I decided to celebrate my 30th birthday there with 12 friends. We called over a week ahead of my birthday and arranged everything with the manager. We even called again two days before just to confirm our reservation. The night of my birthday I walked into the restaurant, looking forward to a great night. I was the first member of my party to arrive. After being greeted by a server I mentioned that I had a reservation. The server immediately replied with "We don't take reservations." Considering that we had of course made a reservation (and confirmed twice), I was quite stunned. I informed him that I did have a reservation. Again, he stated "We don't take reservations." He did not bother to ask questions, or check for any notes or any other information but, simply kept stating with finality that they "did not take reservations." His tone was at once dismissive and authoritarian. Next, he ordered me to take a seat at the bar as if we were finished with my delusional reservation. I was confused and upset by his condescension, but tried to remain calm and figure this out (my friends were about to arrive!). I said that I made a reservation for tonight over a week ago. On cue, he replied, "We don't take reservations." As an alternative strategy, I mentioned that we had spoken directly to the manager. Suddenly he decides it might be worthwhile to take the things I was saying seriously as he goes behind the bar to check for information. However, before walking away he again orders me to sit at the bar. I say "order" because that was the tone of his voice (with an edge of anger and clear annoyance). It was not a polite invitation, but it felt like I was a little woman being told what to do. I ignored his order and instead called my friend who helped make the reservation. While the phone is still ringing, the server returns letting me know he found a note from the manager that confirmed my reservation. !!! He said he offers his apologies because he didn't know. It was impossible for me to take this apology seriously since it is one thing to be unaware of a reservation but it is quite another to treat a potential customer like shit in the meantime. Again, this is was the night of my birthday. As my friends arrived, I tried to focus on just celebrating and having a good time. But, my initial interaction with the server left such a bad taste in my mouth -- that I could not enjoy the food or the evening. I mentioned what happened to a few friends and they asked to speak to the server. One of my friends said to him that she heard he had been quite rude to me. Can you guess what he said in reply? "We don't take reservations"!! He repeated this, already much repeated statement, about 3 or 4 more times. My friend let him know that this was not an argument but that she is suggesting that if someone says they have a reservation it might be a good idea to believe them. He said that he had not been rude and that we had had a "misunderstanding" (I'm not sure who the "we" was of the "misunderstanding" here). His tone remained angry and defensive. He clearly refused to engage with us in a respectful manner and did not seem interested in deescalating the tension. We did not feel like welcomed customers, despite the fact that we were there to celebrate and were offering a significant amount of business to the establishment. Again, he apologized. But when this is done through clenched teeth and a defensive tone, what is one suppose to make of that? What a disappointment, Rhum Corner. read more

When asked what my favourite restaurants in Toronto are, I always mention Rhum Corner. The music, the food, the drinks and the service are all incredible. I dream about the mac and cheese, Accra, pikliz and fried chicken. You can't help but sway in your seat to the music while sipping a delicious cocktail. The best. read more

What an awesome lil spot! We went here for pre-dinner drinks and absolutely loved everything that we ordered. For starters, we got the sat cod patty and the banana fritters. Both were delicious! For drinks, we ordered the slushies, the Wray and Ting and the Dark and Stormy. All drinks were very well made. Between the slushies - I really enjoyed the Pina Colada. Im normally not a fan of the drink but I thought I'll still give it a try and was stunned at how balanced and well made the drink was! The Daiquri was too lemony for my taste. The Dark and Stormy had a strong ginger taste - just how I like it! I'll be back for mains and more drinks! Keep up the good work Rhum Corner! read more

Omg!!! First time trying Haitian food...this was an experience to die for. Great service & the waiting staff were able to explain what was on the menu & popular customer choices. I would recommend this hidden gem - can't wait to return asap! read more
