Cane

"A Caribbean restaurant offering flavorful dishes that earned it a Bib Gourmand designation." - MICHELIN Guide

"In the heart of D.C., Cane, curated by Jeanine Prime, elevates Trinidadian street food to a culinary art. From rich stews to perfect doubles and channa, each dish resonates with the redolence of spices and heat. The perfectly braised brisket in spicy brown sauce, paired with tender root vegetables and scooped into a fresh coconut shell, is a testament to the culinary prowess." - Ty Gaskins

"The first thing you see when you walk into Cane, a Trinidadian restaurant on H St., is a painting of President Obama eating some doubles. And the doubles at Cane, like the doubles in the painting are overflowing with curried chickpeas and spices. The menu, which pays homage to the island's Afro-Indian street food and other traditional Caribbean dishes, includes heavy hitters like oxtail and snapper escovitch. But if you’re going to try just one thing, get the jerk wings, which are smoked for three hours after sitting in a 24-hour marinade made with scotch bonnet peppers, cumin, and paprika. You'll eat them so fast, you’ll find yourself licking your fingers and wondering who ate the last one." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed

"They rented a beach house in Trinidad with an ocean view. And now they pity you when you talk about going to “see the water” at The Wharf. Impressed by their dedication to island life in the dead of winter, you take them to Cane. The Trinidadian spot on H Street serves up incredible doubles, curry goat, and succulent oxtail. Make sure to order the jerk wings—they’re smoked for three hours after luxuriating in a 24-hour marinade infused with scotch bonnet, cumin, and paprika. They're so good, you'll momentarily forget it's 34 degrees outside. " - omnia saed, tristiana hinton

"No one in DC does Trinidadian food better than Cane. The first thing you see when you walk into the Trinidadian restaurant on H St. is a painting of President Obama, mouth wide open, eating doubles. And the doubles at Cane taste as good as the ones in the painting look, both overflowing with spices and chickpeas. The menu pays homage to Afro-Indian food and includes heavy hitters like oxtail and snapper escovitch. But if you’re going to try anything, get the jerk wings, which are smoked for three hours after sitting in a 24-hour marinade made with scotch bonnet, cumin and paprika." - Omnia Saed, Tristiana Hinton
