The spices and dynamic flavours of Saint Lucian cuisine is well-loved by travellers all over the world. When on an unforgettable getaway in this exotic destination, the culinary experience can be the highlight of a getaway in Saint Lucia. Luxury hotel restaurants and small fish shacks by the ocean all offer a unique take on the many fresh ingredients available locally from the land and sea. Inspiration derives from traditional island aspects mixed with both British and French influence.
A quick bite on the island
While exploring all the island has to offer travellers may find themselves in need of something quick and delicious to eat. Luckily, the beaches and villages on the island have many options for a satisfying meal or snack. While it’s not much to look at from the outside, The Reef Beach Café is a favourite among visitors and locals. This is a top spot in Vieux Fort to have a cold drink and some amazing seafood - like octopus creole or grilled silver snapper. Wash it down with a tropical water ice from Jada’s in Castries, made with fresh local fruit. Ask for a sample or two to make the best choice.
A more elegant affair
Enjoying the cuisine like the locals do is a thrill, but it can be just as exciting to indulge in an elegant meal at a Saint Lucia luxury hotel. For a stunning romantic setting and a different kind of take on local cuisine, try dinner at the Spice of India. Many rave that the dishes could not be any more authentic, although they do use many spices and flavourings right from the island. The presentation of everything, from starters to mains, exceeds expectations - garnished with fruits, vegetables and even edible flowers.
For the ultimate sultry ambiance, booking a table at the Rainforest Hideaway can be perfect to set the mood for romance. Located near popular Saint Lucia luxury hotel locations, this establishment offers its guests a chance to savour the charm and unique decor while they dine. Most of the dishes are authentically Caribbean, including lemongrass shrimp and homemade key lime pie.
Everything in between
Countless options await travellers whether they discover a seafood shanty or dine at any of the wonderful restaurants throughout the island. If a small bite is all you want, head to Tapas On the Bay at Gros Islet; Dolittle’s in Marigot Bay boasts spectacular views of the water and an extensive international menu; and for fruity libations Thirst is a fun place for the ambiance of the surrounding Pigeon Island National Park. Venture out from your Saint Lucia luxury hotel for a few meals to discover all the other wonderful culinary delights of this indulgent tropical island.
