Superbe nourriture & cocktails dans une atmosphère détendue, ce qui est parfait pour moi. Tout est bon ici mais je recommande vraiment les duos de bokits. Ils sont aussi impressionnant avec leurs sauces qui rajoute du goût extra à leur tapas déjà bien bons.

J'ai bien aimé. J'y retourne bientôt c'est sûr.

The food is AMAZING. I highly recommend to go at Kalysta. We ordered 6-7 tapas, including Jerk chicken, griot, salad, etc. Everything was delicious. Cocktails are really good too. Please go visit that restaurant ASAP, it's worth it !

The food here is super yummy! It's a tapas style restaurant so you get to try plenty of different things & share if you're in a group! Would definitely recommend if you like Caribbean style food! It's more on the fancy side :) (we also ordered the rice & sweet potato fries which aren't in the photos until were super good)
