" I’ve come to Patois twice already and couldn't get enough of their menu! I opted for the jerk chicken pasta during one visit, and it was spicy and savory! The atmosphere is lively with great music. Generous portion sizes make it great for shareable dining. The only minor critique was that one visit had slightly slower service, but that hasn’t deterred me from returning. Great place overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Patois was nothing short of extraordinary! From the ambiance that perfectly mixes Caribbean vibes with a tropical feel to the food that dances on your tastebuds, every element was thoughtfully curated. I ordered the jerk chicken fried rice and shared the feast for two with my friends. Each dish revealed layers of flavor that had us all talking about our favorites long after we finished. The portion sizes were generous, which made sharing even more enjoyable. I'm definitely coming back to try the brunch menu next time around! " (*Curated Review*)

" I originally went to Patois based on various reviews, and my experience was pretty good! While I found the food tasty, I expected a stronger flavor profile. The jerk chicken was moist, but the overall spice could have been kickier. The service was attentive and friendly, and the relaxed vibe made it comfortable to enjoy our meal. I may give it a second chance once my friends want to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't imagine a better spot to hang out with friends and enjoy good food. The rum punch was incredible; highly recommend it. I went there trying the feast for two and let me just say, we had leftovers! Patois has definitely found a way to cater to both quality and quantity at a great price. The chicken and waffles were standout items! I'll be back in a heartbeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" Patois truly lives up to the hype! From vibrant decor to an enticing menu, there's just so much to love. I tried their special which featured fried rice mixed with shrimp and spices, and it was to die for! The ambiance is perfect for a gathering, although it can get a bit loud when busy. I look forward to returning and trying more of the menu! This spot has a unique twist that makes it stand out. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
