Certified! Great lunch at Ellisons today. Service was top notch. Presentation was a 10/10.
I would’ve given five stars to the jerk if it was done on the drum vs. oven but other than that, outstanding.
Check them out if you’re on the hunt for good Caribbean food in the downtown!! 💯
Fantastic Caribbean cuisine in downtown Kitchener. It was easy to find parking in the back, but it's also in a nice walkable location near the ION stop.
The ambience of the place is very nice, it's beautifully decorated and the lighting gave the space a very cozy feel.
The service was very good, t
Excellent Jamaican cuisine. The staff is super friendly and the food is even better. We tried the blackened catfish and the jerk chicken. Both servings were large for the price and delicious. Will definitely be returning to try out some of the other dishes.
I always enjoy bringing people to Ellison's. Local chef and proprietor Elvis is very friendly and welcomed guests to his bistro. I find the food tasty - my two favourites are the jambalaya and the blackened catfish. I enjoy dining on white table cloths. I especially appreciate that there's no di
Enjoyed some tasty pepper pot soup and delicious blackened catfish. The service was terrific and the price was reasonable.
Tastes like my grandmother's cooking. I'm so blessed to have found this place. My favourites are the pepper pot soup, sweet potato dessert, stuffed sole and catfish. But everything is good here.
Staff are lovely and caring
We visited Ellison's Bistro this past Wednesday and ordered the Rack Of Lamb Port Antonio & Me Mah Oxtail. The food was delicious, the presentation was very classy, and the intimate feeling of the restaurant created a great dining experience. We had conversations with the owner/chef and head waitres
We had some tasty oxtail and jerk chicken at Ellison’s. Also, had a nice chat with the owner, a very friendly guy and an amazing chef.
The food was really nice! And really well made. The owner, who also does the cooking, clearly knows how to cook and how to put flavours together that complement each other. I had a wrap with chicken and it was accompanied by a nice salad. You don't often get that for lunch and for me, a meal isn't r
The food is fantastic and all made to order. Everything fresh ingredients and you can taste the passion for wonderful Caribbean food. The server was delightful and so friendly. Ellison came out for an insightful chat.
Accidentally found this place on our way through Kitchener. Quaint place with a family feel. Chef came out several times to check in on us. Curry goat was super flavourful and tender with a nice thick gravy. Friends were super happy with their jambalaya and roti. Portions were generous and ever
Fabulous experience. The food is fresh, so flavourful and made with love. Service is homey and genuine.
We had the Island Green Salad, catfish and the potato chickpea roti which were all incredible.
Ellison’s Bistro is such a gem in Kitchener! the food is delicious, the service so friendly, the prices are fair- if you didn’t try you definitely must!
I brought a co-worker here who was visiting from the US. She was in the mood for Caribbean food so I started looking for the best option not far from her hotel. I had never been here before. I am a lover of authentic Jamaican/Caribbean food and this did not disappoint. We had the Curry Goat Roti and
Absolutely delicious food, and warm, kind service. Ellison's Bistro is a gem.
I got the vegetarian roti, and the person I was dining with got the chicken roti. Both were perfectly seasoned and very filling. I highly recommend the roti.
I will be back!
The best caribbean food that I've experienced. The avocado stuffed veal was flavorful and filling. The pepper pot soup had a unique combination of delicious flavors, the best soup I've had in months.
The owners were friendly and wholesome. They made me feel welcome and I learned about their history
My wife and I had a date night away from the kids and decided to try this restaurant. Upon entry, we were greeted by the hostess and chef in the most friendly manner. We had some appetizers, and they were delicious, especially the shrimp. Our entree we had was the ox tail and the curried goat.
Delicious food! Very friendly service. I had Jerk Chicken which was lovely - nicely spiced, my date had blackened catfish which was very good.
I asked for a suggestion for dining and I loved it, very tasty
and it was a very friendly experience, I had a short chat with the waitress and the chef and they are very interesting people with very interesting backgrounds
my best wishes to you two!!
