Inspired by the warmth and vibrancy of Jamaica’s culture and people, Chubby's Jamaican Kitchen is a take on traditional Jamaican cooking balanced with relevant culinary twists. Co-founded as a passion project by Gusto 54 founder Janet Zuccarini and Angela Lawrence, Gusto 54’s Chief Culture Officer, Chubby’s is a celebration of their long friendship, and their love and respect for the island’s food and all the amazing Jamaican cooks they know.

Located in a circa-1890 row house re-envisioned by Partisans Architects and interior designer Wendy Haworth, Chubby’s boasts two floors of seating, two bars, and two outdoor patios. It melds old and new, inside and out to create a transporting dining experience complete with delicious Caribbean cooking, eclectic design and soulful hospitality. Chubby's is also a Michelin Guide CA - rated restaurant.

From the OpenTable editors: It’s always island time at this laid-back Jamaican restaurant, which draws regulars for sensational jerk chicken and oxtail stew, best paired with a hibiscus mojito or two. There’s a popular back patio for the warmer months, but the tropical vacation vibes are just as strong indoors thanks to a lush, plant-lined dining room.

    Great ambience and solid menu! Only downside is the reservation is for 1.5hrs and they do enforce it, so for a dinner it’s quite rushed. Would recommend providing guests at least 2hr slots so they can comfortably enjoy their experience.

    Thanks for joining us for dinner, Mehrnaz! We will forward your feedback along to our management team and hope to see you again soon!

    Horrendous food !! Chubbys was in my top 3 restaurants in the Toronto.But now its the bottom.The food was so so bad.the chicken curry was like water and oil.We had the curry before it was yellowish brown thick curry with potatoes. We had to return the mac and cheese. And the portions of jerk chicken keeps getting smaller. Please avoid this place.they are serving food which is not edible now. I have added the photo of the rice with curry on top.the curry was just plain water with salt , you cant even see the curry.

    The experience and food was amazing. One of the best Jamaican food restaurants I have ever been to. Service and ambience was great. They really put you in a Caribbean mood! Oxtail and curry goat were nice, tender and flavorful! It's no wonder they are on the Michelin list!
