Randy’s Patties Reopened in Toronto
Randy’s Patties, a beloved Jamaican eatery in Toronto’s Oakwood Village since 1979, reopened on Friday, August 23, 2024. The restaurant had closed in 2022 due to financial struggles, staffing issues, and disruptions from COVID-19 and nearby LRT construction, leaving a noticeable gap in the community. Strong support from loyal customers and high-profile advocates like Drake played a key role in bringing this iconic spot back.
With its reopening, food enthusiasts were once again able to indulge in Randy’s Patties’ renowned authentic Jamaican cuisine. Located at 1569 Eglinton Avenue West, the restaurant promised to continue its legacy of serving delicious, authentic dishes to the community.
This revival was a testament to the impact a local business can have on its neighborhood and the city’s culinary scene. As Randy’s Patties embarked on this new chapter, it continued to be a cherished part of Toronto’s diverse food culture.
