TORONTO — One of Canada’s most important culinary celebrations returns this spring, and Caribbean flavours are front and centre.

ByBlacks Restaurant Week runs from May 11 to May 17, 2026, highlighting Black-owned restaurants across the country. Among the featured participants is Carib Dish, a growing Caribbean brand with locations in both Toronto and Barrie.

Carib Dish ByBlacks Restaurant Week Feature Highlights Caribbean Comfort

Known for its bold, home-style cooking, Carib Dish delivers classic Caribbean dishes rooted in tradition and flavour. The menu reflects staples commonly found across the islands, including jerk chicken, oxtail, curry dishes, rice and peas, and plantains.

Its participation in ByBlacks Restaurant Week gives diners across the GTA an opportunity to experience Caribbean cuisine while supporting a Black-owned business during a nationally recognized event.

Carib Dish Expands Caribbean Cuisine Beyond Toronto

While Toronto has long been a hub for Caribbean food in Canada, Carib Dish’s presence in Barrie reflects a broader shift — bringing culturally diverse cuisine into growing regional markets.

This expansion highlights the increasing demand for authentic global flavours outside the downtown core, while maintaining strong roots in Toronto’s multicultural food scene.

Supporting Black-Owned Culinary Businesses

ByBlacks Restaurant Week is designed to increase visibility and economic support for Black-owned restaurants across Canada. Events like this play a key role in connecting communities with businesses that contribute to the country’s cultural and culinary identity.

For Carib Dish, the week represents both a celebration and an opportunity — welcoming new customers while continuing to serve its loyal base.

A GTA Eats Spotlight Worth the Visit

As the May 11–17 event approaches, Carib Dish stands out as a strong entry point for diners looking to explore Caribbean cuisine during ByBlacks Restaurant Week.

Whether visiting the Toronto location or heading north to Barrie, guests can expect a menu grounded in tradition, flavour, and community.
