A fellow foodie recommended Jerkup Central and I had never heard of it before so I had to…read moreinvestigate. They are located in a small industrial plaza on Brimley, north of Sheppard. They have seating for less than 20 diners, with most of their business being takeout and catering. Looking past the service counter reveals a huge kitchen plus another area where they smoke the foods. The back of house space looks to be easily four to five times large than the front of house. What makes this place different from most Jamaican/Caribbean restaurants is their claim to offer healthier choices. To support this claim, they make all their own seasonings, with a lower salt content and all natural ingredients. Their marinades are bottled and available for purchase at the counter. They use chickens that are grain fed and locally grown. Their daily menu offers Jerk Chicken, Jerk Pork, BBQ Chicken, Stew Chicken, Curry Chicken, and Fish. The fish has to be ordered two hours in advance. Weekly specials include a different soup every day, Curry Goat on Wednesdays, Cow Foot on Thursdays, and Oxtail on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays only. My companion and I ordered small plates of Jerk Pork, Oxtail, and Stew Chicken in order to sample a few dishes. They were all served with Rice & Peas and a Veggie Medley (steamed). Our plates arrived with generous portions of rice & peas and veggies and a decent amount of proteins (for small orders). The jerk pork looked good, with a nice smoke ring around the edges. It tasted okay but it was dry and the seasoning hadn't penetrated the meat as much as the smoke. They probably used a leaner, "healthier" cut of meat instead of a more marbled (fattier) cut. Some gravy would have probably improved this dish (for me). The stew chicken, with an ample amount of gravy, was also okay and appeared to be all skinless dark meat. The oxtail was our favourite dish. It was the most flavourful of the three and tender enough to come off the bone easily. Overall, I admire their efforts to offer healthier cooking but I would have to describe the taste as average. I've had better and I've had worse but I don't know if I've had healthier (from a Caribbean restaurant). The service was friendly.

Rice and beans solid and not buried in sauce. I very much welcome the side of vegetables (it's in line with their more nutritious take on Jamaican cookin').

I was here on their soft-opening on 2024-10-25. The grand-opening is on 2024-10-29. I ordered the following: 1. Zesty Mexican Bowl ($15.50) + Grass Fed Steak ($7.50). 2. Restore Smoothie ($9.99). 3. Chocolate Sea Salt Cookie ($4.50). The Zesty Mexican Bowl is their most popular bowl. It was quite good. I found the add-on steak a little dry. I gave them the feedback and they promised to address that issue. The bowl consists of kale, black bean mole, white rice, sweet potatoes, red peppers, avocado, salsa fresca, cashew sour cream, cilantro jalapeno dressing, lime wedge, and tostada crumble. The Smoothie was refreshing and tasty. I didn't add any protein powders because I already ordered steak. It contains blueberries, raspberries, banana, maca, coconut flakes, almond butter, and almond milk. The cookie was moist. It is also a thick cookie, well worth the cost. The sea salt is a nice touch. They don't use seed oils, are 100% gluten-free, and don't use no refined sugars (only natural sugars). For sweetness, they use maple sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, honey,and monkfruit. They are open 7 days a week, with breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner menus. They make their own whey and plant-baed protein powders. They source chocolate products from Soul Chocolate, which uses coconut sugar. Beef and Chiclen Bond Broth are simmered for 24 hours to extract collagen, amino acids, and rich in minerals (calcium, potassium, magnesium). They have a monthly subscription for coffee and broth. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. There are two gender-neutral washrooms, but they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking.

LOL It was a hot sunny day & we were a bit tired. So we popped in here & hubby had the Lift smoothie & I had the Mighty Green smoothie. I liked hubby's smoothie but thought it might be too rich for me so I got the Mighty Green smoothie. The combo of kale with spirulina is an acquired taste & I didn't enjoy it. LOL. It's been a while since I've had green smoothies. I'm afraid I'm not accustomed to them anymore. In any case the kitchen & eating area itself was clean & bright. I went downstairs to use the single bathrooms. Those were clean as well. They have a handicap bathroom on the main floor which hubby went to use. Unfortunately he said it was disgusting so he didn't use it. If I'm in the area I might try this place again. Some of the breakfast options looked interesting. There aren't a lot of places where you can get vegan stuff much less healthy stuff. So this is a good options for those who are particular about what they eat.

I also loved how their menu had a glossary and it described some lesser known food items on the menu. Everything from the service, food and ambiance was great. I am for sure coming back for the salad and hopefully I try out other items on their menu too!

I've actually had Brasa previously many years ago for a Yelp event but this time I decided to stop by the Queen St. location to grab dinner. Their menu boasts unique flavours where ingredients are fresh and nutritious. I decided to order a bowl from their phone app where my order was made in about 15 min. Upon arriving at Brasa, the space is accessible where the cashier/food counter area is to your right. On the left there is bar seating where you could enjoy your items there. I mentioned to staff that I was there to pick up my food where it was already made. In terms of food, I ordered the tuna ceviche bowl (Organic tricolour Peruvian quinoa, marinated tuna, avocado and sweet potato blossoms, two types of Peruvian corn, finely sliced red onion) which cost around $17. I had the bowl for dinner and it felt super healthy with the quinoa, avocado, and tuna! The ingredients tasted great together and the crunchy corn added a crunchy textural element to the bowl. Overall, a healthy alternative in the Queen/University area!

It's extremely casual, but I give it 5 stars mainly for the value and consistently good food. Although I've had their patties, which are decent but not the best I've had, the main attractions for me are their meal deals and sausage rolls. I've tried all of their dishes, which come with rice and peas and a bit of coleslaw, and they are all flavourful and well prepared. But I have to say my favourite is the jerk pork, which is often sold out by the time I get there for dinner. It's not fussy, super tasty, and well-priced.
