Canje
The Guyanese roots of chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph take hold in this knockout east-side eatery that's known for being the best Caribbean cuisine in the capital city. In addition to Guyana, house specialties feature influences from Jamaica to Puerto Rico, with standouts like jerk chicken and wild-boar pepper pot. Careful attention is also paid to cocktails and desserts here, like the tres leches with coconut, roasted white chocolate, and guava. The interiors and vibe are as bright and playful as the cuisine.
