Pickapeppa

I came in looking for a quick dinner and really enjoyed the goat curry and a mango smoothie. The service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable. I would definitely eat here again and would like to try more items on the menu

They say chicken soup is good for the soul, in Whitehorse it's Pickapeppa! This place is a Whitehorse Gem, that's worthy of your attention and business. Owners Andrea and David work hard to earn your business! Coming here feels more like hanging out at a friend's house and getting served a delicious home cooked Caribbean meal! When you support this restaurant you most definitely feel you are supporting local. You will be treated to warm smiles, a nice diverse menu with veggie options, great table service, as well as a nice assortment of drinks and desserts to choose from. Our group had the homemade mango smoothie (which was absolutely amazing and made me feel like I was at the beach), we also had the jerk chicken, fried plantains, Jamaican patty, curry chickpea, and Jamaican rum balls for dessert. Everything was so flavourful, and the portions were generous. Through out the restaurant there are hints of Jamaica (nice art work, bright colours) which help rid away the winter blues. If you can manage some stairs to get into the restaurant, and want to support a solid local business this is a great place to be. I suggest making reservations ahead of time.

Started with the mango smoothie which was very refreshing especially in this summer season! For the main entree we ordered the spicy fish which hit the spot! The salad and fish was fresh and the rice is full of flavor and heavenly!! The beef curry was also good and very tender. We had the honor to meet the Master Chef Andrea and she makes everything with so much affection which shines through the wonderful flavors she is bringing to everyone. They also have a fun table that showcases the visitors from all over the world- so when you stop by make sure to bring currency from your hometown to continue this fun tradition! A must try when visiting Whitehorse!

So happy to have found Pickapeppa in Whitehorse. Noticed the colourful sign, read a friend’s review and finally found it open. Got the jerk chicken meal with salad and rice, such generous portions plus a delicious homemade ginger beer. We had to try the Rotis too, so brought some home for today’s lunch (chickpea, eggplant and jerk chicken). Can’t wait!!!! I highly recommend Pickapepper….

Just tried the Jerk Chicken Roti and the Curried Chicken Roti, it was very good. “Roti” was soft and full of flavour. The curried chicken reminded me of a nice home cooked meal. The homemade Sorel drink had just the right kick with a hint of lime and the homemade pineapple ginger beer had just the right bite. The hours for this restaurant are a bit odd, The interior is warm and welcoming. I tried coming to this restaurant multiple times because I heard such amazing reviews. I’m glad I drove by today and saw the open sign lit up, It was absolutely worth the wait. Went again today and enjoyed the Roti with curried goat, a delicious mango smoothie and a beef patty. Absolutely happy.

Wow. This was so unexpectedly exceptional. The jerk chicken meal defined things for me. Chicken was AMAZING. Ginger pineapple juice also great. Plantains, wow! What a lovely experience. Look forward to being back.

Very Amazing jerk chicken and oxtail. Love how tender the meats are, also love how they add roasted plantains. love how they add this salad mix with every meal (even if u get urs with rice), very nice mix of vege and fruits, nice mix of flavors.

Who knew that is find one of the best Caribbean restaurants I've ever experience in The Yukon? I don't know how it got there (the owner said, "it's a long story"), but I'm happy it did. The food is incredible and it was an awesome place to stop for lunch.
