... it's the sundry distributors doing business in the place mi was alluding to ... but there are different ones about. it's almost like a little chain restaurant now.
Re: Best places for various Jamaican foods in Toronto?
you know who used to be good? Donahues on Morningside, but then he sold out.
Im glad no one said Sunrise, cuz when he used to be in the corner of the little plaza on Lawrence it was good-until he "expanded" and bought the old Wendy's across the road and got this drive thru idea and then his food went down the hill cuz he started hiring high school students to cook

Re: Best places for various Jamaican foods in Toronto?
honestly doah, nuffa di jamaican restaurant dem give jamaican food bad name. fram chicken foot eena stew peaz to di ketchup pan oxtail, it's really hit and miss in a lot of places.
some a dem get hype anna stawt mek tings like ackee bruschetta and saltfish pannini mi nah call no name, but dem did open up pan st. clair weh di old circle B <--- used to be. they did a whole reno which was really beautiful. but if you're on a strip surrounded by italian restaurants, why would you want to imitate them? i wonder if they're still in business?
except the royal caribbean pan st. clair --> if that's the one across the street from the catholic church. they're pretty good and you can actually sit down and eat.

i think is so dem mek stewpeaz a jamaica these days. certainly is chicken foot dem use fi mek red peas soup. i tried it once, bought it from a streetside vendor in kingston, wasn't bad but mi couldnt get past the foot so me never buy it again. although, on reflection, chicken foot no really wuss dan pigtail.
last august in jamaica mi go restaurant a Santa Cruz and ordered what i thought was stewed chicken. sitten came in some sweet pineapple sauce. mi just return it. i don't know what is going on with jamaican cuisine these days.
