MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Chef Peter Prime’s reigning Caribbean queen, opened in early 2019 with sister, Jeanine, has everyone buzzing. Set in a stylish, colorful space with a fun, lighthearted décor (one wall boasts a picture of President Obama eating a double), its menu is devoted to Trinidadian street food that the siblings grew up on. The chef's experience at some of the top kitchens in DC simply ensures that quality and execution is through the roof.Everything prepared by the kitchen is delicious: think rich stews, perfect doubles, and channa, redolent of spices and heat. The pepperpot arrives smoldering with aromatic cinnamon; while perfectly braised brisket in spicy brown sauce features tender root vegetables, paired with rice, and scooped into a fresh coconut shell.
