The Real Jerk is a Toronto restaurant tradition. For three decades, Ed and Lily Pottinger have been offering delicious Caribbean cuisine in a laid back West Indian atmosphere: their iconic sunshiny logo is a beacon for good food and good times.

“Our goal is to introduce you to the wonderful world of Jamaican cuisine, whether you visit our restaurant or try our recipes at home.”

Over the years, Ed & Lily’s warmth and hospitality have made them beloved community members, and turned customers into friends.  City visitors and tourists who’ve found The Real Jerk in guides like Blog T.O. and Lonely Planet always return with friends.  Up, up!
