🇨🇦 Toronto's Most Stylish Jamaican Restaurant!

📍 Chubby's Jamaican Kitchen 104 Portland St, Toronto Housed in a charming two-story pink house adorned with palm tree murals, this place looks like a cozy family diner from the outside but surprises with its refined, tropical-chic interior! 🌴✨ Even on weeknights, it's packed - we snagged bar seats (spacious enough!) as walk-ins. 🍽️ What We Ordered: 1. Slow-Baked Jerk Wings 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Sticky-sweet & spicy jerk-marinated wings with a crispy cornmeal crust! The honey glaze + lime squeeze combo is FIRE - messy fingers guaranteed. 🔥 2. Watercress & Papaya Salad 🌿🌟 Fresh peppery greens with tropical-sweet dressing - tastes like "eating a floral arrangement"! Divisive (I loved it; my friend side-eyed it). 3. Oxtail Stew 🐂🌟🌟🌟🌟 Fall-off-the-bone tender in a rich, spicy gravy (slightly salty) - poured over fluffy rice & peas = comfort food heaven. 4. Curried Chickpeas & Plantain Hash 🌶️🌟🌟🌟 Creamy curry chickpea mash with caramelized plantains & smoky eggplant - texture like savory jam (in the best way)! 5. Cornmeal Pudding 🍨🌟🌟🌟 Warm, tangy-sweet pudding with crispy edges + coconut ice cream dusted with spiced peanut powder. Not too sugary - perfect endnote! 💭 Final Thoughts: Jamaican cuisine masters spice blends like no other! Every dish was flavor-bomb (though carb-heavy - we got the "itis" halfway through 😴). Shoutout to their gorgeous, warm-hearted waitstaff who made the meal even brighter! 💛 #TorontoEats #JamaicanFood #CaribbeanCuisine #TorontoRestaurants #HiddenGems #SpiceLovers #ComfortFood #DateNightSpot
