I migliori ristoranti di cucina caraibica a East Village

We had a great first experience at Bar Kabawa. Well-crafted cocktails and food that surpassed our expectations. The Solomon Gundy is amazing. And the goat, eggplant, short rib/bone marrow patties are all fantastic. Don’t sleep on the coco bread either.

Chez Omar is a quiet, intimate dining room facing the Christopher Street Pier on the Hudson. The ambience is an antidote to the more typical Manhattan jostling, noisy restaurant scene. The endive and chèvre chaud salads were both fresh, generous and tastily dressed. The risotto au Safran was a standout, creamy and filling, stuffed with vegetables. Lamb chops (four to a serving), were a little rarer than we'd ordered and a little over-sauced but tender and tasty, served with broccoli rabe, green beans and roasted carrots. Wine choices by the glass were mostly from small producers, and inexpensive. Overall, I wish this new restaurant (it opened 9 months ago) well-deserved success, and look forward to returning.

The food was o.k., but not very interesting. The ambience was of a dingy bar

Loved everything from the service to the food to the ambience. Five stars all across the board

Small, homespun low-key place. Not fancy, but good food at a reasonable price. Nice staff.
