“Food is amazing. Love it. Beef patties are authentic and delicious. Jerk chicken is fall off the bone tender and spicy like it should be. Huge portions for reasonable prices. Satisfying my pregnancy cravings. I will go back again and again.“
“Phenomenal!!!! food, super friendly and speedy service... What more could you ask for.I had a large oxtail + curry goat, it was heavenly.Big ups Cheryl, thank you.A nice bonus: my stomach was a bit upset when I came in to order. SPOTLESS bathrooms. These days, most don’t offer public bathrooms, and the ones that do make you want to turn around and hold it. Literally not a single speck of dirt. It just makes you confident that the kitchen must also be well kept. Thanks for the clear effort.“
“This is my go-to place in Ottawa for the Roti and chicken curry. Lots more to choose from. I like how the curry here is not spicy as those I have had from the East. It was a different taste all together. My friends, as do I love the patties. Thank you for bringing a little Island flavor to Ottawa.“
“Lettie and I visited Fred at his new restaurant yesterday (09/26/2015) and as usual, Fred's food was fabulous! We started with the Ginger Beer, which is undoubtedly the best I've ever had, subtle undertones of vanilla and cinnamon followed up by tons of ginger. We wanted to try the Sorrel drink, but after the Ginger Beer, I'm not sure it would rank. Fred made up some fish cakes for us, and being from the Maritimes, they were as good as any my Mom used to make, except Mom never put the great dipping sauce with them that Fred does. Our main course was Beef and Goat Rotis with salad. If you are not truly hungry, plan on taking some home because you'll be hard pressed to finish the plate. Fred has perfected his receipe for roti, and they were great as usual. We opted for very little heat to no heat, allowing the flavours to come through, and I'm glad we did as sometimes heat can overpower the combinations that make the dish. Rice and peas, fried plantain, sweet potato, broccoli and green beans were on the plate, adding to the variety of flavours and textures. We so wanted to try some dessert in house, but opted for a piece of Fred's own vegan chocolate cake to take home. It looks delicious and we're looking forward to having it with the leftovers we carted home. As we were getting ready to leave, Fred said he had some of his homemade apple pies in the oven and offered to sell us one. We decided to give it a try and are we glad we did! We both love apple pie and this one is one of the best either of us has ever had! I bake pies too, but I can't match what Fred did to this one. If this is on the board, you gotta try it. We live in Stittsville, so it's a long trek to the heart of downtown, but visiting Fred's place will give us a reason to make the drive. I'm going to try the Jerk Wings the next time.....“
“It was absolutely DELICIOUS but, why are you trying to kill me? ? Ordered a curry goat with plantains. Taste wise : outta this world! But there were bones so tiny I almost swallowed some several times and gosh the pieces were SO SHARP it would've slit my throat from the inside! ? I got so scared to keep eating but I couldn't stop ?So yes, delicious, but maybe don't order their curry goat ? Which is a shame cause I'm from the Caribbean and it's one of my favourite meals ever “
“I can't recommend this restaurant enough! The atmosphere was charming and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a cozy dinner. The menu featured an impressive selection of dishes, each one more delicious than the last. The attentive service made our dining experience truly exceptional.“
“Meal was very tasty. Kinda like home cooked food mom would make when visiting.Tried other items in the past but the meatballs tonight were a first.Will definitely try ordering more often.*Fried chicken was good, and the look and taste is like home cooking. Definitely a good option.“
“The food and service at Baccannalle is extraordinary! Resa is absolutely wonderful, and I love that they have so many delicious options for folks with dietary restrictions (Gluten-free, vegan, etc.). We order catering from here frequently and the process is always easy and seamless. Would highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a delicious meal, and particularly for catering events!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free, Vegan“
“We got the small oxtail and the jerk chicken, food was very good. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the oxtail was very tasty. Service was great as well, very friendly staff !! I wish the plantains were a little more ripe, other than that, it was awesome.“
“First time trying this place based on a recommendation and OMGoodness - it was awesome!! We had the special and it’s a lot of food for the money. Perfectly cooked fried chicken (crispy & juicy) and not greasy at all. We also had rice and plantains instead of fries and both were yummy. Nice variety of different drinks too.“
“I ordered the oxtail meal. It was absolutely delicious. The meat fell right off the bones. The flavour was amazing. The rice and peas were flavourful and the steamed vegetables were perfectly cooked. I also ordered the jerk pork and it was also tender and flavourful. Definitely will be ordering from here again. The staff and service was amazing.“
“On a business trip, we wanted a quick but tasty place to eat. This was located one block from our hotel. I had the OCCO Burger and tried the poutine. 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.“
“From the initial email request to telephone conversations, the staff at Reggae Rooster helped my with a small catering inquiry. We just finished eating and wow! the food is just amazing. We ordered Jerk Chicken, Beans/Rice, Curry Chickpea and patties. Everything was delicious and really filling.Highly, HIGHLY recommend.“
