Trinidad and Tobago Food and Drink

Bars and restaurants open until late, with a very wide choice of local and Western food and drink. Chinese, Indian and West Indian cooking is available on both islands. Tobago also offers some notable seafood specialities and all types of fried fish.

Seafood is of course popular on the islands, with Trinidad’s highlight being Buljol, a saltfish served with coconut bake and vegetables. On Tobago, trying the curried crab and dumplings is a must. The latter is great purchased from a roadside vendor: streetfood is a big thing across the country so do what the locals do and chow down on some.
