TASTE OF TOBAGO

Like much of the culture, Tobago’s traditional cuisine is heavily influenced by the African heritage of its inhabitants.

The island’s delicious specialties include crab and flour dumplings simmered in a thick curry and coconut sauce, and a thin, spicy drink touted as an aphrodisiac called pacro water (prepared by boiling sea cockroach, a local shellfish).

Store Bay, a 10 minute walk from Crown Point International Airport, is home to some of Tobago’s best cooks who sell authentic local fare out of beachfront kiosks.

In the resort districts of Crown Point and Buccoo, stylish gourmet restaurants serve menus incorporating international styles with local spices and ingredients.
