What Porsha Truesdale doesn't like about Calabash Bistro:
This was my second time visiting Calabash while in Vancouver and it was very disappointing. Cold food delivered to table. They expected us to pay full price for dessert items, but they had no ice cream due to not being able to keep it cool. Definitely not real Jamaican cuisine. Truly disappointing and a waste of money. Oh and the view were the homeless eating off the ground outside. View all feedback. What Tiffany Steakhouse likes about Calabash Bistro:
We had a great dinner and stayed for dancing afterward. The staff were really friendly and the dance floor had a great vibe. We’ll definitely one back and do it again View all feedback.

read moreCalabash in downtown Vancouver offers a unique cultural culinary experience that is not to be missed. While some diners found the food disappointing, others raved about the delicious drinks and tasty bites, such as the mussels and coconut dumplings. The ambience was generally well-received, with a lively and colorful atmosphere. Service was friendly and efficient, with some customers making it a tradition to celebrate special occasions at the restaurant.
