Forget tourist restaurants with their European cuisine. Prefer, by far, the restaurants run by French West Indians, who will cook you traditional dishes rich in flavors.

On the menu, chicken colombo, lamb fricassee, crab tasting(traditional Easter Monday dish), whitout forgetting the famous grilled lobster and many other specialties that will delight your taste buds.

You can also stop on the road for a quick tasting or take-away of traditional dishes such as Creole boudin, cod accras. What to taste for sure local dishes !

Take also the time to stroll between the aisles of the markets. Buy fish sold by local fishermen and dare lobsters at the Vauclin fishing port in the south-east of the island, this type of sea food is particularly appreciated by locals. Get an excellent Creole sauce and you have a tasty and greedy meal with beautiful Creole flavors.
