fried chicken isn't on the menu at Eazy Eats but you'll find amazing rotis, I personally love the goat roti. And great soups like the Crab Callaloo soup which sells out quickly. I also tried the cow heel soup which is very good despite the name.

And for dessert... people seem to love the bread pudding. Oh and if you go, you gotta try the Joseph's homemade hot sauce. It is one of the best hot sauces I've ever had. Spicy but with a mustardy flavour… yum.

A sure fire hit is Marie’s shark and bake ($5.50 CAD). A Trinidadian version of our fish and chips, this satisfying plate consists of tender, young shark meat fillets that have been seasoned with chilli flakes and a number of other spices before they’re given a light dusting of flour and fried. Replacing our chips is the fried bake - a pita-looking dough accompaniment that’s made with flour and a hint of coconut. A fresh salad and a dollop of Marie’s home made spicy mango chutney round out this terrific pairing.

Other not-to-be-missed Trini specialties include the island’s national dish- crab callaloo soup ($3.45 CAD a bowl and perfect on a cold winter’s day), a number of house-blended curries over rice and the ultimate crowd-pleaser, Trinidadian bread pudding ($2.25 CAD).

This dessert is made daily and is considered one of the city’s finest. It’s sweet without being cloying. Raisins, coconut and pecans are added for a textural dimension that’s very appealing. But I’d have to say it’s Marie’s essence or custard that’s the real lip-smacker. She infuses it with a sprinkling of cinnamon and dash of island rum for extra flavour and warmth. And that’s almost enough to turn any cold Toronto day into a virtual trip to the beach!
