Miss Likklemores

A great spot for Jamaican fusion. We visited on a Wednesday and took advantage of a beautiful bottle of wine at half price. The menu is extensive, and although we weren’t hungry enough to try any starters, it definitely gave us a reason to come back. We shared the oxtail-topped burger which they kindly offered to cut in half for us and it was delicious, as were the plantain chips. That said, the red snapper truly stole the show. I’ve never seen fish presented quite like this: lightly breaded with a lime-forward spice that was incredibly flavourful. Our server didn’t offer many suggestions, and in hindsight it would have made sense to order an additional side, as the escovitch vegetables were a bit skimpy. The music and overall vibe were great, even on a very quiet midweek January night. I’d love to see this place hopping.

Such a delightful upscale Caribbean restaurant! The service was phenomenal and the design of the restaurant is thoughtful and gorgeous, creating an intimate atmosphere. The food was mostly quite delicious. I had the soursop mocktail and the macaroni pie with oxtail (kinda spicy but very flavourful). My friends and I shared appetizers: the fried okra and the sea bream crudo. The okra was incredible and I would get it again! However, none of us enjoyed the sea bream, it was quite fishy and had a bit of a bitter aftertaste. I wouldn’t order it again as it didn’t suit my personal taste.

I visited Miss Ikllemore’s in Toronto while in the city from Niagara Falls, and it was an experience I won’t forget anytime soon. The food was absolutely delicious—packed with flavour and just the right amount of heat. We started with the fried Rick shrimp and doubles, both of which were mouthwatering. I can still taste them! For our mains, we had the charcoal chicken with coconut rice, which was incredibly flavourful, paired with a rich jerk jus that hit the perfect balance of spice. The crab XO was another standout—the rice was creamy, almost like a risotto, and complemented the crab beautifully. That said, there were a couple of small hiccups. I do wish the crab legs had been pre-cut to make them easier to crack. I found it a bit difficult to get the meat out, and initially wasn’t given a crab fork. When I asked for one, the one provided was too large to be very useful. The drinks menu is impressive, especially if you enjoy rum—there’s a wide variety from around the world to choose from. The atmosphere was lively, with music that set the perfect vibe for a Saturday night. Overall, despite a minor inconvenience, the food, drinks, and ambiance made for a fantastic evening. I’d definitely go back the next time I’m in Toronto.

Great ambiance and overall vibe and it really felt like stepping into a colonial-style tropical hangout. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive, with knowledgeable staff who added to the experience. One of the biggest highlights is the extensive selection of Caribbean rums. I was recommended a Trinidadian rum, and it was excellent. The biggest letdown for me, however, was the food. Toronto is arguably one of the best places outside the Caribbean to find incredible Caribbean cuisine, with many unassuming spots delivering bold, authentic flavors. Unfortunately, the food at Miss Likklemore didn’t come close. We tried the Seabream, Doubles, Patties, Nuff Nuff Slaw, and the Chocolate Mousse Cake. While everything was decent, the flavors felt quite basic and lacked the depth and vibrancy I was expecting, especially for the price point. I understand the premium location at King and Spadina may influence pricing, but I would expect the food to match with bold, standout flavors. Instead, it felt like the menu was toned down for a more general bland palate, which is disappointing. Caribbean cuisine has so much character and richness, and leaning into that more confidently would make a much stronger impression. Many of the Thai and Vietnamese restaurants in the city are succeeding by doing exactly that, embracing bold, authentic flavors. I wouldn’t return specifically for the food, but I would definitely come back for the rum selection and warm hospitality. Hoping to see a more vibrant and expressive menu in the future. The rums that you serve are itself a good inspiration to draw from!

A truely unforgettable experience. Big up to Chef Mustard who went above and beyond meeting our expectations The food and presentation was mind blowing. Atmostpher, live DJ was great.
