8 best Caribbean restaurants in Vancouver

Calabash is the ideal place for a night out. The restaurant’s ground floor is home to great Caribbean cuisine and cocktails. You’ll find seafood-based meals and classics like Oxtail stew. What makes this place truly special though is the live music venue in the basement. Reggae, hip hop, jazz and R&B fans should definitely visit for dinner, drinks and great music.

For some fine Caribbean dining in the Downtown Eastside, Calabash never fails for a wonderful evening out. The beef, chicken and veggie patties make for great appetizers, or you can pair them with dumplings and roti for a flavourful tapas-style meal. Top it all off with one of Calabash’s tantalizing creative cocktails, like a Rose Man See or a Bordertown Swizzle.

Enjoy a taste of the Islands at this Jamaican-owned bistro in Gastown. Served Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 3 pm, the Caribbean Brunch menu is packed with exotic flavours prepared with regionally inspired cooking methods. Start your day with ackee and saltfish (a classic Jamaican breakfast) served with coconut dumplings or an early-morning roti stuffed with scrambled eggs, roasted cumin potatoes and jerk pork belly. Wash it all down with a sorrel-infused rum punch or a coconut jumby and you might just convince yourself you’re enjoying an Island getaway, even if it’s pouring rain outside.
