Jamaican food in the GTA

There are Caribbean restaurants as well as Jamaican restaurants in Toronto and then there are those on the scale somewhere between the two. For a good roti I will choose a restaurant with speciality for southern Caribbean flair however Jerk has to be cooked a special way. My quest today for Jerk Chicken was disastrous. Jamaican food is cooked a particular way and meats are prepared with herbs and seasonings, allspice (pimento) is the noted exception to this. It is not Jerk Chicken if it has been prepared with nutmeg and cinnamon and cooks need to adjust the name to indicate this.
