Caribbean Food Guide: 10 International food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Trinidad
Find out what International restaurants to try in Trinidad. Looking for a Caribbean cultural melting pot renowned for its Carnival and pulsating to the beat of steel drums, soca music, and calypso? Trinidad is also lined with relaxing beaches and rainforest waterfalls. Nature watching is colorfully kaleidoscopic, with over 450 bird, 600 butterfly, and 700 orchid species. Golf, hiking, mountain biking, surfing, kayaking, fishing, and boating are among the outdoor pastimes. Cool off with fresh cane juice and sea moss milkshakes. Vegetarian food is plentiful. Eat curries and explore India’s influence at Maha Sabha Indian Caribbean Museum and the Waterloo Temple over the sea. Visit Port of Spain, and stroll and jog in Queen’s Park Savannah, near the Botanical Gardens, Emperor Valley Zoo, and Magnificent Seven buildings. The Savannah attracts truckloads of fresh coconuts, and doubles men sell coveted aloo pies. Walk around Independence Square and the Brian Lara Promenade. The Central Bank Money Museum in downtown’s financial district displays doubloons, gold bars, and Slave Savings Bank memorabilia. View Columbus Square’s 1836 Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Parliament meets in Woodford Square’s Red House. King’s Wharf is where cruise ships and Tobago ferries dock. The Venezuela ferry docks at Williams Bay. Near the Chaguaramas Military History & Aerospace Museum is a marina with yachts, sailboats, dry docks, and boat hires. The South Quay’s Fort San Andreas, built by Spain in the 1700s, has a small Port of Spain history museum branch of the National Museum and Art Gallery of Trinidad and Tobago.

the place is definitly chic but all wet down hill when i received thier house wine with cork bits in it. I must day the caiprhina was good. the menu says a good portion of fish in thier catch of the day except i got more bread and lettuce with very little fish in. the burger is small with canned pinapple and a giant piece of lettuce that made it fall apart.. Beligian cut fries are mcCane fries nothing good or special about them. with alot of other great lunch places around, for the same price i really dont see the point in coming back.Gosh, that's a horrible review. we're really sorry about it all. Core in wine.. that's bad. but happens and sometimes we miss it. Did you return it? . If you got little fish then i hope you told the waiter,did you? Sorry you don't like pineapples out of a can but fresh pineapple on a sandwich is usually more fibrous and chewy/ difficult to eat. Giant lettuce.. we'll check on the lettuce. And not sure what to say about the Fries... We'd recommend a little research. There's this old age toss up on where fries come from.. we tend to think they originated in Belgium.. some think France the rest u can check online i'm sure. I don't think we say fresh cut fries. now if we did .. then you'd have an issue. . All in all we're sorry you had a horrible experience. Do let us know when you came in and whether you raised any of your issues then. You can also contact us via [email protected] for any info. Thanks for your review. It helps us help you. Glad u liked the cocktail.

So... there are mixed feelings involved lol. Generally, I like this place, the decor and variety of food options, whether they be their breakfast or pastries. I have been to their breakfast before (good serving sizes, affordable prices and food was fine) so that experience would be a 4 star rating. However, this visit was for the pastries. I was desperate to try their sorrel cheesecake and I was so relieved I only tried the mini and not get the entire cake as I was initially tempted. The cheesecake was dense, heavy and the sorrel topping was dry and shredded. It probably was one of the worst cheesecakes Iâve ever had. Also, the customer service experience at this visit wasnât great. Hope it has improved since then but nope, no more any kind of cheesecake for me there. Breakfast? Sure :)

Today we decided to try out an A La Carte lunch after a very disappointing dinner last night. A chance to redeem our view of terribly poor service, slow seating, slow order taking, slow arrival of food, and a mediocre meal. Hm.. unfortunately, today was not any better. My hot meal took so long to come to the table, and we were two of only six people in the restaurant, so there was no excuse that they were busy, but the steamed vegetables and the grilled chicken were all ALMOST luke-warm. ALMOST. We were halfway through our meals when the waitress popped up to ask if our meal was fabulous. Really? This place needs a good management shakeup! While the staff were all friendly, the overall impression is of a very loose system. Staff chatting to one another with no eye contact with guests. Thereâs no evidence anywhere of Management checking on staff, or customer satisfaction. Retraining is really needed here as individual friendliness of waiting staff, or a reduction of 10% off my meal, doesnât make up for yet another disappointing dining experience. Weâre here for two weeks, so letâs hope that someone somewhere listens and acts up guests observations! Hilton Hotel, you can, and should, do better than this.

Very nice outside dining space on an expansive terrace. Easy parking in underground garage. Very friendly staff. Limited menu but some lovely small dishes with fresh ingredients. Particularly enjoyed the shrimp & avocado on toast and a beautifully cooked chicken breast (moist and tender) with herbs and ratatouille. Reasonably priced.

El Pecos is famous in POS for its quality, reasonably priced, and varied local meal options. It is THE go to place to go to for a quick, but great lunch, or when you don't feel like cooking all those myriad of dishes at home. Remember to wear gloves when touching the utensils in the buffet line, as they take cleanliness seriously. Have your money ready, as the line moves fast, add a refreshing drink, and sit out on their porch to get the full POS El Pecos experience.

Reviewed By thehungrygyal
Lovely ambience but the food isn't the same as it used to be. With that being said it's quite expensive for the food and the portion sizes. The service is also a bit slow, especially when sitting outside. The best thing are the burger and fries! The wine list is okay, nothing to rave about also quite expensive for the wines being offered.
