Do the Jerk
If we can’t have Caribbean weather, then bring us the gastronomy and groove.
 Offering both is Calabash,
a laid-back Jamaican bistro inside a 1906 building on the border of
Chinatown that serves up a full flavourful menu, including Jamaica’s
national dish Ackee and Saltfish ($13) and jerk chicken ($12.50). The
beat-filled basement lounge offers some of the same, but with a full
bar, dj and dance area, not to mention the old, original elevator cab
equipped with a vintage hanging microphone.
While they wait for
their permanent liquor license, it’s best to head downstairs Thursday,
Friday or Saturday when special events permit them to spike their
homemade ginger beer.
Calabash Bistro, 428 Carrall St., Vancouver, 604-568-5882, www.calabashbistro.com
