#FOOD: ROYWOODS – TORONTO’S CARIBBEAN COMFORT FOOD EXPERIENCE

Roywoods is a highly popular, modern Jamaican and Caribbean restaurant chain in Toronto. Known for its vibrant “street vibe” that pairs classic island flavors with hip hop and reggae tunes, it has grown from a local downtown favorite into a recognizable staple across the city.

Some of their signatures:

–Jerk Chicken Plate: Their most iconic order features sublimely moist, oven-baked jerk chicken served over a bed of savory, sweetly spiced rice and kidney beans cooked with coconut cream. It is finished with chicken juice gravy and a refreshing, peppery coleslaw.

–Jerk Chicken Sandwich on Coco Bread: This fan favorite features tender jerk chicken topped with tomato, onion, coleslaw, and a signature spicy scotch bonnet mayo, all sandwiched inside airy, soft coco bread baked fresh daily.

–Braised Oxtail: A rich, comforting dish featuring deeply flavorful, slow-cooked oxtail that is prepared fresh daily.

–Handmade Patties: Famous for their flaky crusts and generous fillings, their Jamaican patties (beef, oxtail, curry shrimp, and veggie) are uniquely crafted completely seed-oil free

The best absolute deal? That would be their Roywoods Sampler / Platter (Jerk chicken, oxtail, mac & cheese, rice & peas, and plantain) starting at just $22.95! Enough to feed two! Incredible value, when you want to try it all and can’t pick!

There currently are SIX locations across North America, including the Greater Toronto Area: CityPlace, Union Station and Square One in Mississauga, and Miami!
