The flavours are there, but it’s toned down to appeal to the masses. So If you can overlook the occasional overcooked/dry meats and frozen fish then the experience is quite enjoyable. The portions are big, but it’s nothing gourmet and it was almost Caribbean/Jamaican pub food, but all homemade.
#Island thyme deep heat full#
It’s not authentic Caribbean food, but the value is there and you’ll be full without breaking the wallet. The food is pretty good depending on what you order of course, but generally it’s all quite impressive. It is family friendly, but it does cater to a younger “Main Street” crowd and there’s quite the list of cocktails and alcohol available. It’s a bit gimmicky, but it’s fun and casual and suitable for relaxing times, although it’s always packed and busy so reservations are recommended. The atmosphere is casual and it’s almost everything you want in a Caribbean restaurant. Both locations are in in the hippie areas of Vancouver so the menus are also very vegetarian friendly. It’s the most popular for Caribbean food in Metro Vancouver, just because the most people know about it and it’s been around for a long time. The Reef has two locations, one on Commercial Drive and the one I visited on Main Street.
I’ve actually been to The Reef a few years ago, but I didn’t remember what the food was like, so it was about time I re-visited and made a post out of it. Sad I know, but I can only try and eat so much food… which is still a fair amount I think. I think there’s about 8 in Metro Vancouver and this is really the only one I’ve tried so far. **Recommendations: Plantain Chips, Jerked Wings, Island Thyme Chicken, Deep Fried Bananasīeing in Vancouver, BC we don’t have much choice when it comes to authentic Caribbean or Jamaican food.
