We felt as well taken care of as ever on our recent visits to Jeanine Prime’s fun, masterful Trinidadian restaurants. Lunch at Cane, a cozy all-day cafe on H Street, is a treat, especially when it involves oxtails or jerk wings over rice, or warmly spiced paratha roti wraps. At the bigger, sleeker St. James, the kitchen’s Caribbean cooking reaches an apex. After a rum cocktail, nothing hits quite like smoky, tender brisket with ginger-spiced plantains and crispy macaroni pie—one of DC’s best mac-and-cheeses.
