The Reef - Vancouver, British Columbia

Had a nice lunch time here! Foods were great, but a bit salty for me when it came to the chicken jerky. However, the pork ribs we ordered was fabulous, very tasty and authentic tomato sauce. Service was more than excellent! The server was so nice and friendly, she made ... sure we were feeling good with everything, and we actually did! Will come back someday. Read more

Cozy is the word that best describes this place. Even on the patio outside thr heaters keep iT really warm. Old style things always work better. Little dark inside but making your way through the restaurant to your seat isn’t hard. There is actual fireplace heater inside but the whole place ... is warm enough. Ok enough talk about warmth. Food- menu is simple with easy to choose options. Apparently i took my time to read all the ingredients under the dishes and my server helped me understand the cooking process. ( i missed taKing pictures of the menu) I was gonna try a unique carribian dish so i took my time. Honestly the spices are more or less like indian food but the taste is different. I loved my dish of cod fish n rice with a twist of local fruit n spicess. (Obviously fruit must be frozen ) Introductory fried bread dumpling was amazing. Tofu was marinated in the spices and fried so it gave a very stronng taste of cloves. U must try their cocktails as there are number of interesting ones. Infact there is a tiny open bar. Overall a good experiment. Read more

We stumbled on this restaurant because we were hungry on our stroll. The restaurant was pretty nice, I liked the vibe. I ordered the jerk wings and yam fries, I thought it was good but I have tasted better jerk. I would go back for the meals though. I really ... loved the free corn dough it was tasty and reminded me of Nigerian buns. Our server was welcoming too. The prices are good Read more

Went here with friends for some jerked chicken with plantain chips and it was delicious. Also tried a cocktail similar to Moscow mule but with rum - yummy! Really nice staff, good ambiance and awesome beats in the background. We also got some desert and it didn’t disappoint. Highly recommended!

My vegan girlfriend and I were really happy to find a Reef location in Mt Pleasant on Main Street. We were used to the location on the Drive which seems to have been turned into an Indian restaurant. If you're vegan and trying out this restaurant, I recommend the jerk tofu ... dish with cabbage salad and streamed veggies. Delicious Caribbean good. Read more
