This Collinwood eatery has managed to fly under the radar for far too long. But that will likely change as more new diners begin discovering the revitalized Waterloo neighborhood. Located just down the road from the Beachland Ballroom, this easy-going Caribbean themed café and bar dishes up non-fussy foods crafted by the Trinidad and Tobago native chef. Tuck into zesty jerk or curry chicken, chicken and vegetable rotis, crispy tofu burritos, soft tacos stuffed with fish and, of course, plenty of rice with peas. Live music, friendly folks and an artsy urban vibe combine to create a great neighborhood space.
