Walk into the Royal Caribbean Cafe on St Clair and it’s as though you’ve left the streets of Toronto and stepped into a laidback-yet-chic beach side restaurant in Jamaica, from where owner and chef, Ainsley Palmer hails. “The decor is modern and warm,” he says. “We have comfy orange and terracotta cushions and natural materials to give a beach feeling. It feels like summer in here!”
It’s the perfect setting for the authentic Caribbean food that Ainsley has served since 1996. “I’ve always focused on Caribbean food,” Ainsley explains. “The menu rarely changes, but I also make some creative twists to spice it all up. People always like something different and I love seeing satisfied customers.”
Whether it’s a tasty roti, serving of oxtail soup, vegetable curry and coconut stew on rice or a shrimp stir-fry, the dishes not only taste like home, but they’re also elegantly presented with plates that offer an explosion of colour.

amazing food, service kind of slow, but worth the wait.
#1. You have to try different things on the menu to truly get a taste of the place. #2. This is the only place in the city where you can get a good roti and a great jerk chicken in the same place. #3. Best home made irish moss. Keeps your back strong and your endurance long.
totally over-rated. was this place reviewed by the owner's relatives? This is cafeteria class at best.
The best jerk chicken!! I lived two streets down from Royal and I would go there once a week. Perfect amount of spice, great portions and friendly people. I highly recommend!
I HAVE BEEN DINING AT THIS RESTAURANT SINCE IT OPENED AND TRAVEL FROM PICKERING JUST TO EAT DINNER THERE; BECAUSE THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS, THE SERVICE EXCEPTIONAL AND THE AMBIANCE IS VERY PEACEFUL.
