Our desire for good food has become as natural as our need to breathe. Food is able to tap into our emotions, and illustrate our roots and cultures, and it is because of this rather than merely being a necessity that food is now something we revel over. Our search for flavour takes us all around the world, discovering recipes and cooking that make a holiday as memorable as seeing a spectacular landmark. A gourmet holiday in Grenada is able to offer you just this and much more.

St. George is home to many of Grenada’s best eateries providing all their local specialities. A trip to Aquarium Beach Restaurant allows you to explore all of the island’s favourites at their best. One recommendation would be to try the pepper pot, a combination of different meats including beef and oxtail cooked with several sensational kinds of spices which is sure to leave your mouth-watering and wanting to come back for more. Picking up a roti at one of many of the local restaurants found in St. George is also a must on your visit to Grenada. A mixture of curry and potato served within a flat bread skin and your choice of filling such as chicken, beef, or vegetable, makes roti a favourite amongst the locals and tourists alike.
