Though the oversize tables for four make easy conversation difficult, Coconuts Caribbean Restaurant & Bar is a haven for diners seeking flavorful island cuisine. Jerk chicken and salmon are tasty choices, but don’t overlook the plentiful and unusual vegetarian dishes: corn festival (fried corn dough; ask for some mango dipping sauce), fried plantains, spinach ackee triangles (Jamaica’s national fruit), spicy Irie tofu (Jamaica’s national dish; accompanied with seasoned spinach and lentils and a jerk dipping sauce), macaroni and cheese, sweet potato fries. Rice and beans are paired with many main dishes. Call for happy hour info and schedule for live steel drum music.

This place was delicious! I usually don't like tofu 'fillets' but the way they prepared the tofu here changed my mind. I would order it again and again!
ReplyDeleteYes, the veggie dishes here do seem to be particularly tasty.
