With so many spices grown in Grenada, it's no surprise that they feature highly in the island’s cookery. Creole cuisine blends with classic West Indian flavours to create Grenada’s local specialities, while international tastes are catered for by Grenada’s restaurants providing classic French and Italian dishes.
As you would expect, fresh seafood can be found on every menu. Grenada's national dish is 'Oildown', which consists of salted meat, onion, carrot, celery, breadfruit and dasheen stew with dumplings cooked in coconut milk. The Carib Rum, tropical fruit juices and punches are also popular island-wide, as is the excellent local beer.
