Le Jardin Du Cari

Wow amazing authentic Guyanese food! We had the curried goat and chicken platters and washed it down with a Grace Kola Champagne! The portions we amazing!

Splendid dishes and lavish flavors at this locally loved West Indian-Guyanese spot. Kind and attentive service and seriously savory bites. The highly recommended goat and pumpkin roti was even more delicious than advertised; I had to order a bit off menu (just ask!). Can’t wait to go back - anyone passing through should make the trip. Solid value and unpretentious.

Easily the best roti I've had in Montreal. Growing up in Toronto, Carribean food and especially roti was a regular meal but it's something I've really been missing since I moved here. Really good.

The goat roti with pumpkin is my favorite. I seen that they trying to sell. I wanna thank auntie and uncle for the years of good food. You were my favorite palouri spot too.

I’ve been only eating the vegetarian roti with extra pumpkin with the spicy sauce and it’s delicious and addictive. Lots of take out, so the place is quiet and empty. You can eat alone and not feel weird.

Never had pumpkin in a roti before and WOW was delicious! Had to order another one to go. Staff is super friendly and looking forward to trying other dishes soon

The owners of this place were cutting their finger nails in the kitchen while we were eating our dinner. We heard and saw it. When we confronted them about it, they doubled down and yelled at us for suggesting this was unsanitary. Disgusting place with nasty owners. Don't go there.

Love this place. The owners are sweet and the menu is simple-but-delicious comfort food. Best hot sauce, lovely flavour with a good kick.

Discovered this place on one of my neighbourhood walks and was hooked by the lovely smell wafting from the doors. I'm new to Caribbean food so I felt a little bit out of my element when I looked at the menu but our waitress explained everything and was really nice. I got the chicken roti and it was soooo good! Really warm, filling, flavourful, and different. It was such a big portion that I had to take half of it to go. Adam got the goat curry and it came with vegetables, rice, and plantain! (I really liked the rice) We also got a patty to share and it was just ok. Nice consistency but the taste was just ok, nothing distinguishable. They ran out of peanut punch but I'll try it next time! Generous portions, good prices, friendly service.

Order a plate of their beautiful pumpkin and specify you want it à la Raj Basdeo with the roti on the side. Don't forget to keep it real and eat with your hands. This food tastes better without utensils. Welcome to Guyana! I am ethnically half Indo-Guyanese-Canadian and half French Canadian so that makes me the lucky grandson of my amazing Nana who stuffs me to the brim with her excellent cooking about twice or thrice a week. Even though I have only been to Guyana once and I didn't grow up seeing the swaying palms under the Caribbean sun, I have grown up with, am genetically predisposed to and was born and bred with Indo-Guyanese flavours coursing through my being. For those of you without an Indian grandma there is Caraïbe Délite! I'm so glad this place exists. This is absolutely authentic Indo-Guyanese home cooking. The dal soup is a must! Just as equally incredible is the pulourie which is a beautifully golden savoury fritter made from chickpeas flour; it is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and perfection all around. Try the authentically and extremely hot Guyanese pepper sauce. It is made specially from the Scotch Bonnet peppers that grow in the proprietor's home garden. Never tell my Nana this but this place totally makes roti and dal puris a little better than she does at home. I died a little bit inside by saying that but alas, it is true. I love my grandmother very much; thankfully she's not on Yelp. You also need to try the curried chickpeas and potato. They serve it wrapped up inside of a roti usually but I like to order mine on the side in order to eat my meal in a more traditional manner. They have excellent homemade Caribbean beverages as well. Try the mauby which is a non-alcoholic drink brewed from the bark of the Colubrina arborescens tree. It is a bit like sarsaparilla with an aniseed twist. Sweet yet bitter yet refreshing. If you've had a long day basking in the summer sun and smoke of the Tamtams and you're getting hungry or if winter seems a tad bleak take a jaunt over to the Caribbean and have yourself a treat. Come on in, man, the water is warm and you can feel the sea breeze on your taste buds.

Get chicken or goat roti and peanut punch, place is the best. Always with pumpkin and buy a tub of hot sauce!!

One of my favourite lunch spot in the mile-end. Love the goat rôti with pumpkin and lime Chili sauce. It's filling and brings the perfect balance of neat tenderness and sunny Caribbean flavours. Plus the family working in the kitchen is always sporting their lovely smile, taking me back to my dearest vacation memories.

Jardin du Cari is an unassuming gem on St Laurent & St Viateur serving Guyanese cuisine. I ordered the goat roti with pumpkin, and apparently everyone else on Yelp ordered it too. A perfectly portioned and delicious curry of goat, potato, and pumpkin all wrapped up in fresh stretchy roti and served with sour hot sauce. I could eat this every day no joke!

This is one of the very few places in Montreal that serves up Peanut Punch, a Trinidadian specialty which is basically like Peanut Butter Milk (as opposed to Chocolate Milk). Yes, it's exactly as yummy as it sounds! As other posters have indicated, chickpea rolls, pumpkin curry, chapatis, potato roti, and the owner is exceptionally nice and friendly. Just go already.

Followed Yelp reviews and ordered rolls with pumpkin (we got chickpea/potato and goat). Mm mm, so good. We got there around 9:15 and the shop has hours posted until 10, but we were told carry out only. Made sense after we waited ~40 minutes for our food. But still worth it. Especially with that spicy sauce (I wish I asked for extra, it's not as spicy as everyone has been making it out to be). Good staple!

Came to this place with my mom and sis. I had never had Guyanese food before but Im glad that we did. The food is obviously filled with curried but for a great price you get a really good portion. One thing I know is that, if I'm on boul saint Laurent and craving roti...I will come and order it, was that good!

In my view, hands down the best Caribbean I've had in montreal. Goat roti is the bomb. Hot sauce is nicely balanced and goes great with the curry!!!! Come try it (for the food less so for ambiance)

Had the goat roti with pumpkin. It was very good! Family-owned and owner was nice! Prices are perfect for a inexpensive option around the very pricey area that is the Mile End. Would recommend.

This place has a lot of potential but unfortunately uses a microwave to heat up food. Might've been that way since we ordered take out, but was definitely on the mushy side. Goat Roti tastes great!

'Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.' i had the vegetable (potatoe and chickpea) roti with pumpkin. my senses may be dulled from being dead for so long, but this didn't help revive them. the curry didn't have any distinguishing flavors from my store bought fare and the pumpkin spread (extra) went unnoticed in the mix,. +1 for size, it filled me up, and for price, ~ $8.50 with tax isn't deplorable, but it's still a one and done, not something i'd try again.

This is the St Laurent location of the family owned and operated Jardin Du Cari. Same bare bones decor as the rest, with maps and posters pinned to the walls, same delicious roti with pumpkin. The veggie roti with pumpkin is one of my favourite inexpensive comfort foods in town, I pick it up for dinner about once per week, and I get the man the goat. Make sure you get the hot sauce that usually comes with, and make sure you're a bit careful with it. I love spicey and am always tempted to slather this stuff everywhere because it's deliciously mangoy and lemony but it's also badass burn your insides hot. The perfect antidote if you've had too much of the hot sauce is the peanut punch, creamy and not too sweet or peanut buttery. Like an inexplicable number of places in the area, Jardin du Cari is closed on Mondays.

You know what? I changed my mind, don't hold the pumpkin. Bring on the pumpkin! Bring! Bring!

Great Caribbean comfort food, worth every penny - just don't expect to run a marathon after a meal there.

Oh so delicious roti, well sized for the price. Very much hole in the wall, but hole in the wall you should know, if roti is your thing. Friendly (but not overly so) the staff are nice and relaxed. No one batted an eye when my two month old threw a short lived mini fit, and afterwards they came over and told me what a good baby he is (he's great! He fusses and then he chills out). I am partial to the goat with pumpkin (always add pumpkin!), but I'm sure all the options are fab.

The goat and pumpkin rôti is glorious! The peanut punch is delicious, but quite expensive if you order it to go (2.50 for a coffee cup). I definitely recommend it if you want some Caribbean takeout. Haven't tried sitting brown there yet.

This place is great ! Goat roti is the way to go !! I'd say sometime the dish plate rice is a bit mushy and obviously microwaved but doesn't matter add more pumpkin hot sauce and you are on ! He should seriously market his pumpkin hot sauce, it's insanely good spicy and tasty !

Jardin du Cari used to be be located on St Viateur where Comptoir 21 takes up space. The rotis are great - the pastry wrap is both moist and flaky and light in just the right way, and the addition of pumpkin to the filling is sublime. I usually wash down with a grapefruit Ting drink. Great for a winter lunch or dinner.

I was not that familiar with Carribbean cuisine before my visit to this friendly and unpretentious spot near my friends house in Mile End. The chic pea and potato curry roti was a splendid hang over cure that blew my palate away, and sent me into a deep mid afternoon nap. I could tell that this would be my spot if i were to live in Montreal. From price to taste to the kind owner, i'll be sure to stop by here one more time before i leave town.

Love this place! Chickpea Roti is the best

Went there tonight because I felt like eating some Guyanese food, mainly roti and man I'm telling you they make the best roti in Montreal. I've tried Curry House and the one everyone likes...Tropical Paradise. And don't get me wrong tropical was my favourite too until I came here. Now I'm not going anywhere but here. Even if it is a bit further for me. The taste is wonderful, the price is right and the staff are friendly. I had the goat roti with pumpkin and it was delicious. I was a little hesitant on the pumpkin but I'm glad I tried it. It gave the roti a nice sweetness to it that was very subtle and nice. I also had the chicken chow mein and that too was delicious. I'm a fan of spice so even their pepper sauce needs to be praised. Everything here is home cooked and never frozen. Authentic Guyanese food that tastes great!! ***two thumbs up*** =]

The food here was quite good....but the service was very, very slow. The place has an dark and uninviting feel.
