Dining in the French West Indies is always a memorable event. An exciting variety of restaurants take advantage of gorgeous settings to complement their culinary delights. Cooking in France is an art form and Martinique continues this delicious tradition. Visitors discover a wide range of local specialties with an emphasis on seafood and spicy Créole dishes. Le déjeuner,
or lunch, is often the main meal of the day and usually served from noon to 2 p.m. It’s generally a good idea to call ahead for reservations for dinner.
The pace of service in many Caribbean restaurants may surprise first-time visitors. It is wise to remember that standards are different in the islands. If you demand fast food and brisk service, perhaps the Caribbean is not for you. However, if you can downshift and relax into a tropical mode, your patience will be richly rewarded. Experienced travelers always arrive at Martinique restaurants before they are really hungry and allow extra time for their meals to be prepared and served.Martinique’s renowned cuisine mirrors its many cultures. The local Créole specialties combine the finesse of French cuisine and the spice of African cookery with the exoticism of East Indian and Southeast Asian recipes. Fresh seafood appears on most menus. Other specialties are: shellfish, smoked fish, stuffed land crabs, stewed conch, and curry dishes.Restaurants can be found in hotels, in settings by the sea and even on the front porches of the cooks’ homes. Local rum drinks often precede a meal, and imported French wines usually accompany it.
