Exotic island eats and a breezy vacation vibe strike a Caribbean chord at Calypso Café in Chicago’s South Side Neighborhood of Hyde Park. With its cross-cultural mix of Caribbean cuisines, Calypso Cafe provides an affordable escape to the islands.

Our menu offers excellent jerk chicken, oxtail stew over peas and rice and seafood cakes, among other dishes. Desserts include pineapple "jump-up" cake (an upside down cake) and incredible key lime pie. Colorful dishes like Cuban black-bean soup, Sautéed Rainbow Trout, and Rasta Pasta are so good you’ll want to take some home with you. To help wash down all of the delicious entrees try one of our signature cocktails including Pina Coladas, traditional Mojitos, Margaritas or The Island Viagra!

The atmosphere at Calypso Café has a lot to offer; listen to the sound of steel drums as you take in the bright, pastel-colored Caribbean decor in our Hyde Park restaurant, complete with palm trees, wicker-basket lamps and decorative toucans.
