Delicious & Healthy Dishes, Made Fresh.

Our cooking starts from the Spice Isle of Grenada and encompasses Creole traditions, Caribbean influences and reimagining dishes from far away. What sets our food apart are the seasonings, herbs and spices we use to create vibrant flavors that make every dish come alive.

Meet Fred Alexander

Fred Alexander is from St. Andrews, Grenada, and his first culinary influence was his grandmother. He began his career as a chef in Grenada in 1992, moved to Canada in 2001, and worked at the Four Seasons in Toronto. In 2016 he started cooking for his local community, and in 2024 he opened Nutmeg Creole Kitchen in the Durham Region of the Greater Toronto Area.

The name comes from home. Grenada is the Spice Isle, and nutmeg is its number one spice. Fred's cooking carries the island's Creole influence, and the herbs, spices, and seasonings that bring out the flavor in every dish.

    “OMG!!! I rarely leave reviews, but Nutmeg Creole deserves all the praise! Everything I ordered was absolutely exceptional. The Baked Mac and Cheese Pie was rich and perfectly cheesy, and the Georgia Fried Chicken (Halal) was crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. This place surpassed my expectations. I will definitely be ordering from here again.”
