Ellison’s Bistro - Kitchener, Ontario

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, they were very personable and nice to us, and the food came out in a reasonable time. The food itself tasted great. The portions for the price were very reasonable and filling. The plating of the food was very well done and looked pretty fancy. We had the pepper pot soup, curried goat, and jerk chicken. They were served with side of rice and vegetables. Definitely worth going back. We will for sure to try the other items. Read more

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 waitress throughout ... our meal. I've been looking for some good Caribbean food in Kitchener and I'm glad I finally found Ellison's Bistro. I would highly recommended a visit to them and will be returning again soon. Read more

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 everything was home made and fresh. We'll be back next time we drive through. Read more

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 the Jerk Chicken. Roti made in house as was the delicious hot sauce that we took a bottle of home with us. I absolutely loved that it was a nice sit down restaurant with option to have a nice glass of wine as opposed the the takeout style of most Caribbean restaurants. Elvis (Owner/Chef) and Zorina (hostess/waitress) were so awesome and attentive. Read more
