Vancouver, Canada Calabash Bistro C alabash Bistro brings the Caribbean to Vancouver. For those who are familiar with that region, Calabash’s cuisine is reminiscent of coconut trees that line the beaches of sun-splashed shores and island spices wafting through the air from colourful open-air markets. You will detect the subtle taste of many islands in each dish and after a meal here, you will leave with delicious culinary memories. Flavour in every bite! And, there’s music. Downstairs in their cozy lounge, you’ll be transported to the Caribbean and beyond, as musicians showcase their talent, to the delight of patrons. Food, music and, did I mention art? Yes, an eclectic range of art line its walls. That’s Calabash Bistro. If you’re in Vancouver this January, an interactive culinary event will be taking place here. As part of the Dine Out Vancouver Festival to be held January 19th to February 4th, Quik Tings will be taking you into Calabash’s kitchen for a special cooking session with Chef Cullin. It will be a fun event with entertainment, giveaways and of course delicous Caribbean-themed food. Click here for more information.
