Caribbean Wrap

I came to the market for lunch and braved the long line for Caribbean Wrap, the wait was definitely worth it. This cute little shop is known for their authentic and delicious Caribbean dishes. I was unsure of what to order since everything sounded delicious but I saw a lady eating a stuffed avocado and I knew I had to order whatever she was having. Despite the long line it went by fairly quickly, the service was friendly and efficient. I ordered the avocado stuffed with bacalao it came with a salad and some amazing sweet chilli sauce. The portions here are really huge! I was afraid that I would be unable to finish all of my food but it was soo delicious that I kept eating despite being stuffed. This is a great place to eat lots of delicious food for a fairly reasonable price.

There are many thing I love about Bristol, and near the top of this, is that it’s completely acceptable to eat curry goat for lunch — any day of the week!
Caribbean Wrap is right in the hub of St Nic’s Market, which, if you don’t know (and I’d be surprised if you didn’t) is a mecca for Bristol’s lunch time foodies, has a weekly farmers market and huge inside shopping market.
The lovely women that work their every day, serve up some ridiculously delicious caribbean dishes; jerk chicken, beef in jerk chicken sauce, curry goat, salt fish etc — all served with a vegetable side; chickpeas, spinach etc and rice and peas.
While it isn’t restaurant standard food, it is all super tasty and really reasonable for lunch time. Dishes range from £4−7.50 and the large dishes are very large!
They have a nice indoor seating area which is great is the summer and winter.
Oh, and they sell cans of Ting :)

One of the longest-​running establishments in one of the most vibrant and exciting areas for lunchtime dining in Bristol.
Service is professional and sharp without feeling hasty or rushed. The menu is built upon staples of a traditional Caribbean fare with plenty of variation to satisfy either the most reserved or quite adventurous of tastes.
Both seating and take-​away options are available. The dining area is perfectly adequate in size, although prepare ahead and accept that you may have to squeeze into whatever space you can find. Bottles of varying degrees of hot sauce are provided.
The jerk chicken wrap with mango sauce and salad was worth a five-​star review in itself. The size and quality of the dish was flawless and genuinely one of the most satisfying meals I have had the pleasure of enjoying for quite some time.
Prepare ahead for an early lunch as a queue should be expected and menu options may become limited by the late afternoon. Substantial popularity is clearly an indication of a decent establishment.

This authentic Caribbean lunchtime café seems to sell out of all its dishes every day it’s open, which is always a good sign. This means it’s hard to know exactly what time it will be serving until, so it’s best to err on the side of early.
The staff are friendly but usually pretty rushed off their feet, and customers can sit down in a small indoor seating area, or get the dishes to take-​away.
You can go for well-​known Caribbean dishes such as jerk chicken or curried goat served with rice and peas, or you can try Jamaica’s ‘national dish’: the delicious but unusual ackee and saltfish. The first time I tried this the taste seemed quite severe, but still tasty and interesting enough to polish off the lot, and I’ve since become quite accustomed to the taste. The ackee (also known as ‘vegetable brain’!) is a fruit that can be poisonous if it’s not prepared properly — but rest assured I’ve had this dish many times from here without any ill effects!
