Ripe’s Oxtail & Mampi-Bean Stew

Mampi-Beans (our name) resemble a large butter bean,
and is very rarely found in the United States or the Caribbean.
It is adored by vegetariansas a meal in itself,
because of its meaty texture.
We Jamaicanized it of course, pairing it up with superior
quality “angus beef” Oxtail, and the result was a marriage made in HEAVEN!
Served with rice & peas and ripe plantains. 16.95


Roasted Caribbean Red Snapper

This dish is the favorite of our fish supplier from the Fulton Fish Market.
They request it as a special whenever they announce that they are coming to
the restaurant to eat. We cheerfully oblige, as long as they give us the pick
of the absolute best Snappers to complete the dish!
Supremely Fresh Snappers roasted in the oven in a
Light Fish Broth, with Cherry Tomatoes,
Chinese Greens, and Okra. 17.95

"Ripe's Annual Romantic
Culinary Adventure Weekend"


Ripe steps up "Romance Month"
February 12th-14th, 2010.

Our infamous Prix Fixe Menu for
Valentine's week-end

An exploration into the foods that make us feel “passionate”
The Valentine's menu leans heavily on seafood, and includes twists on traditional dishes. 

Our regulars "in the know" have come to the appreciate the excellent value we offer every year.

Treat that special someone to "something different" this year; enjoy Ripe's creative Caribbean menu and old West Indian charm on Valentines weekend.

It’s a great alternative to those impersonal, overcrowded restaurants
with superior pricing and inferior food.

Above all, the food is executed by a chef that is passionate about his customers, not the bottom line!!!
 
This event is not to be missed, and gets booked SOLID very quickly, so BOOK NOW, before the rush-
 
Purchase a $10 Ripe Gift Card Today to RESERVE your Table and use it toward your dinner on that weekend!

Menu will be posted shortly at www.riperestaurant.com
All inclusive price $24.99 per person
