I had not ordered from Lloydie's in 2 years after getting sick from eating their oxtail (St-Viateur location) and decided to give them another try as I saw they had a new location in St-Henri.
I soon regretted that decision, The rice was terrible, the meat was dry, though and the sauce was not great. To make it worst I got food poisoning from their pork, and spent the entire night waking up with diarrhea and feeling like throwing up, there is some serious issues with the way the food is prepared or stored as this is not normal that I've gotten sick from two different location and I cook and eat Caribbean food every single week from various places without issues.

Read moreLloydie's mile end location was recommended by a friend on my last trip to Montreal. After hitting up 6 different spots on a lunch crawl I didn't have anymore room to try anymore food.

I was actually there on location for a photoshoot and they catered lunch for us. I had the Jerk Chicken which came with rice, plantains and coleslaw on the side.
The chicken was the most moist, flavourful, and savory jerk chicken I've ever had before. I wish I savoured it more cause honestly I ate it too quickly. The rice and plantains pair very well together, and the coleslaw had coconut shavings in it which I thought was such a nice touch of sweetness but doesn't overpower the rest of the meal.
I wasn't able to try their patties but I'll definitely go for it next time. Would love to go back! Amazing food and...
