A sophisticated dining experience crafted with thoughtful and precise cannabis infusions.
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice” – MLK
The path toward cannabis legalization in Canada has been a long and difficult road. Join Reena Rampersad (High Society Supper Club) and Shebeka Curling (High N Hungry Catering), together with Mercari on the 7th anniversary of legalization for a culinary journey that ties ancestral traditions to the present moment, and looks hopefully towards a better future.
A celebration of resilience, culture, and legacy, this dinner is rooted in the Caribbean experience. It honours the Caribbean and other marginalized groups whose struggles and sacrifices paved the way for today’s freedoms. The menu brings together the bold, soulful flavours of Caribbean heritage with fusion influences from Canadian culture and other diasporas, creating a culinary journey that both pays tribute to our ancestry and reimagines the future of cannabis culture through food, connection, and storytelling.
The menu is cannabis-optional; it is prepared with infused sauces served on the side for a total of 10mg spread across the whole meal.

Avocado Wontons The avocado wonton is a blend of Asian and Caribbean culture. Referred to as zabucas in Trinidad the olive oil based and spiced mixture is called a chokah. Paired with the Asian derived wonton this is a Heavenly match. Topped with traditional sweet chili and chadon beni sauce.
Oxtail Yam Tart A buttery yam based pastry tart filled with birria slow braised oxtail topped with rich decadent oxtail gravy and crispy scallions. Oxtail became a staple in Caribbean cooking during the early days of enslavement when it was considered 'waste' and given by the oppressors as a main food source.
Vegan option: garlic butter mushroom and onion yam tart
Brown Butter Lobster Roll Mini brioche with brussel slaw topped with brown butter lobster tail and garlic herb cream aioli. Inspired by Caribbean seafood dish flavours this is a different take on the traditional lobster roll.
Vegan option: brown butter artichoke rolls
Barbecue Chicken with Cornbread & Seasonal Vegetables
The fourth course is a soulful harmony of Caribbean roots and Southern comfort. Juicy barbecue chicken, marinated in a medley of island herbs and spices, is roasted to perfection and brushed with a smoky-sweet glaze. Paired with golden cornbread and vibrant seasonal vegetables, this dish pays homage to both backyard gatherings and Sunday family tables — a true celebration of flavour and community.
Vegan option: plantain & callaloo with coleslaw
Coconut Mango Lime Tres Leches Cake
Our finale is a tropical reimaginating of the classic tres leches. A soft sponge cake is soaked in a lush blend of coconut milk, mango purée, and a hint of zesty lime, creating layers of richness and brightness in every bite. Crowned with whipped cream and fresh fruit, this dessert is both refreshing and indulgent — a sweet closing note that honors Caribbean vibrancy and Latin tradition.
Vegan option: seasonal fruit with chocolate & sea salt

Reena Rampersad has been advocating for social justice most of her life with much of her work focused on the inequities and racism in the Cannabis industry and society on the whole. Pairing advocacy and her culinary skills, Reena created High Society Supper Club to provide an avenue for cannabis education while offering catering opportunities. As a young girl, Reena witnessed her grandmother using Cannabis in the making of various salves and remedies while her father battled the law and society for his choice to partake. Many of her family members were victims to the War on Drugs making her participation in the industry very personal. High Society Supper Club is the recipient of Now Magazine’s Readers Choice Award for Best Edible, and has been featured in most major Canadian publications including Zoomer media's OneTV channel. @highsocietysupperclub
