I found this spot on TikTok and knew I had to visit when I got to Montreal. The food and service and vibes were all amazing (shoutout to Aliyah and Ariel!). My mom and I had an amazing time and loved the experience so much. The oxtail tacos and coconut shrimp were both so delicious!

I visited this place the last time I was in Montreal just for dancing and it was a great time. This time we were adamant about going for the food and made the reso weeks in advance. My husband and I had trouble deciding on what we wanted to eat because everything was fantastic. We had the Rasta pasta with oxtails, ackee and salt fish fritters, oxtail tacos and the jerk chicken. Oh my! Everything was so good. I was surprised about the amount of chicken we were given, the tacos were flavorful, the pasta had the perfect amount of spice and the fritters were phenomenal. The service 10/10. Jah was our waitress and Arielle is who greeted us at the door, both so kind and attentive. The restaurant was short staffed so we waited about 10 mins before being seated, the staff were incredibly kind and gave us free drinks to apologize for the delay. When Arielle found out it was our anniversary they gave us dessert on the house. The hospitality and service was amazing. I truly recommend to everyone and we may even go back before having to return to Alberta!

Tropikal is a vibrant cozy lounge taking all the best cuisines, charm, and culture from each caribbean nation. We booked a late dinner, and boy are we glad we did. As the delicious foods and drinks flowed. The space slowly transformed to a dancehall hub. The DJ set up and the tables slowly disappeared. We didn't need to leave for clubbing as dinner turned into a night of dance. The Jerk calamari was the star of the show. Along with the curry goat with rice and peas tasted home-made, the roti to soak up the gravey was a nice touch. The fritters was too salty (more than saltfish fritters is expected to be). The stuffed plaintains were good, but our table was conflicted on whether the callaou was fresh. The ackee was clearly from a can, with minimal prep. The jerk tacos was on the sweeter side, which was unexpected. The spicy mango wings was good but tasted more lemon pepper than mango, still a little tangy. Their jerk dipping sauce is undefeated. Overall the staff clearly take pride in the asethics and outward appearance of the restaurant. The bathrooms, and accommodations needs serious attention.

From the moment we walked in it was indeed going to be a special night. We were greeted at the door and seated promptly. The people eating around us were also very friendly and amplified the experience. The food and drinks were so good. We will definitely be visiting again. The curry goat was so delicious. The planter's Punch was to die for. Such a stylish and cool place! I suggest everyone to try this place. The decor is simply stunning.

This restaurant was awesome! The service was fantastic - the team was ON IT. The food was also really great. My partner and I enjoyed this meal quite a lot and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the jerk calamari - don’t sleep on this dish!
