Grenada is known as the “Wreck Capital of the Caribbean.”
A Culinary Delight
Widely known as the “Spice of the Caribbean,” the destination has long been famous for its production of high-quality spices and cocoa.
Fully embracing the identity of “Spice,” the integration of spices into Grenada’s cuisine has resulted in an overall robust and flavorful national food profile. From fine dining to casual beachside restaurants to street food, it is undeniable that Grenadians have a taste and flair for delicious food and, as a result, became the World Food Travel Association’s first Culinary Capital. To further raise the profile as a leading culinary destination, Grenada is partnering with renowned Chef Alexander Smalls to develop culinary programming that includes masterclasses and events with local and international chefs.
A chocolate island, Grenada’s six tree-to-bar chocolate companies produce artisan chocolate that delights the palate with every bite. Perfectly paired with handcrafted, locally produced rums, chocolate and rum tastings are a must-try experience when in Grenada. Of the four rum distilleries in Grenada, River Antoine Estate is the oldest and home to the oldest functioning water mill in the Caribbean. A trip to River Antoine is like being transported through time; the rum making process is still the same as it was centuries ago.
The Pure Grenada culinary experience is sure to be delectable and inspiring. A tip for visitors: leave enough space in the suitcase to bring home a taste of spice.
