From the OpenTable editors: It’s always island time at this laid-back Jamaican restaurant, which draws regulars for sensational jerk chicken and oxtail stew, best paired with a hibiscus mojito or two. There’s a popular back patio for the warmer months, but the tropical vacation vibes are just as strong indoors thanks to a lush, plant-lined dining room.

    Chubby’s is one of my absolute favourite spots in the city! It gets a bit dark downstairs with just candlelight and very low lighting so you can’t really read the menu or see your food but it’s all delicious when it arrives!

    The food was incredible. I had the goat curry. The rum punch was amazing! I sampled some jerk chicken which was delicious as well as ox tail soup. Our waiter provided great service. I can appreciate why this place has so many Michelin stars!

    The Mac and Cheese was Chef’s Kiss! Our server had too many tables to wait on but the food and drinks made up for it. Chubby’s is definitely a vibe!

    Amazing jerk chicken, really good portions. Quick and attentive service. They have a really cool drink menu, but if you don’t drink the mocktails are also delicious. The Track Star was really refreshing!
