Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
The Gouyave Fish Fry every Friday night is the single best food experience in Grenada — don't miss it
Oil down, Grenada's national dish, is a one-pot meal of breadfruit, meat, and coconut milk — seek it at BB's Crabback or Patrick's Local Homestyle Cooking
Grenada produces exceptional quality cocoa — buy chocolate directly from the Grenada Chocolate Company factory for the freshest and best-priced bars
Fresh nutmeg is far superior to pre-ground — buy whole nutmeg at Market Square and grate it fresh into rum punch and desserts
Saturday morning is the best time to experience Market Square — arrive before 9am for the freshest produce and most active vendors
River Antoine Rum at 69% proof is one of the Caribbean's strongest rums — respect it and mix it, don't shoot it
Callaloo soup (made from local dasheen leaves) and pepperpot are both distinctly Grenadian dishes worth seeking out in local restaurants
Fresh breadfruit is a staple side dish — try it roasted, fried, or boiled alongside fish at any local restaurant
