Calypso Cafe

On a "Check, Please!" episode, they recommended a Caribbean place in Hyde Park. On a very cold Sunday night, JJ and I decided to go check it out.


We both got to reminisce beef patties from our high school days... these were delicious!


Unfortunately for us, the TV show really increased the restaurant's business for the weekend: they were out of tilapia, guacamole, conch fritters, plaintains, Calypso-ritas... it was getting a little ridiculous. So we made the best of a very limited menu selection and went with some jerk chicken wings and the jerk chicken dinner.


That dinner is probably one of the best values in the city. You get so many sides with the dinner that are all very tasty and filling. The jerk chicken was also excellent!

For dessert, we went with a key-lime pie. It was not lime green nor custard-y but more like a cheesecake consistency. We both loved it.


The limited menu left us wanting more so we can't wait to go back!
