The Islander Caribbean Restaurant & Lounge Restaurant Review: Trinidadian Addie Green rules in this island kingdom, and she should: She's undoubtedly the best Caribbean cook in Washington. You'll hear an island beat in the background and some native patois, but people of every persuasion adore her cooking, because it is honest and true. If you know little about Trinidadian food, let Addie's menu teach you. We'd walk a mile or two just for her curried goat rotis with feather-light bread and her puffy island-inspired crab cakes. Green is famous for her fish dishes and her side dishes from peleau (rice with pigeon peas) to cabbage are good, too. Sip an island drink, like the sweet and spicy sorrell, and you may just want to limbo. |
