food and dining
Delectable dining
k
Tobago’s best fine dining restaurants pair delectable
food — local, international, and fusion — with
ambience and charm. Many are set in locations
steeped in history (shells of colonial water-wheels,
sugar mills, and plantation houses), or take advantage
of spectacular mountainside views or refreshing
seaside perches. There’s also great eating at bars,
beaches, roadsides, and hotel developments.
Make sure to try distinctive local favourites like craband-dumpling;
“blue food” (ground provisions);
fresh fish (mahi mahi is among the most sustainably
caught); oil down (breadfruit and salted meat are the
main ingredients); coconut bake (often served with
saltfish buljol); and a multitude of sweets (benne
balls, toolom, paw-paw balls, tamarind balls,
sugar cake, cashew cake, and cassava pone). Try
condiments like chows and chutneys, and wash it all
down with freshly squeezed local juices.
