" Dining at Patois was a delightful experience! I was really impressed with how they fused the Caribbean and Asian elements together. I tried the sweet and spicy wings and they were perfect with just the right amount of crisp. The servers were very attentive, which added to the enjoyable atmosphere. Prices were reasonable, but I'd like to see a bit more variety on the menu. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Patois was indeed a treat! They offer a tantalizing blend of cultures that truly works well together. I tried the Chinese pineapple bun burger, which I found to be a creative and delightful surprise. The vibes were nice, and the staff was friendly, but I expected just a bit more seasoning on the jerk dishes. Overall, I was satisfied and would definitely come back to explore more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

The savory combinations were definitely the highlight—my favorite was the fried chicken and waffles. Though the service could use a little more promptness, the food itself made up for it. So much to love about their ingenuity combined with good service. We'll definitely return for their dinner offerings soon! " (*Curated Review*)

The service was excellent, making sure we had everything we needed. The only downside was the ambiance could be a bit loud, but it fits the lively atmosphere of the place. Can't wait to come back!

" What a hidden gem! The fusion concept between Jamaican and Asian is a mealtime success. I couldn't believe how well the flavors married in my dish. The service was warm and welcoming, which made the dining experience all the more pleasant. I ordered the jerk chicken, and it had that traditional kick I was hoping for. I certainly plan to revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Patois is a hidden gem! My experience was fantastic, and the food really exceeded my expectations. The Asian Caribbean fusion was well-executed with rich flavors. I had the jerk chicken chow mein which was both savory and comforting. The only hiccup was that the service was a tad slow, but the staff was friendly and made up for it. If you're in Toronto, you need to visit this restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)
