Eating

The best place to each lunch is at the row of food huts opposite the beach at Store Bay, where local women offer delicious dishes like rotis, shark and bake, crab and dumplin’ and simple plate lunches for TT$30 to TT$60. They’re all pretty similar, so the best plan is to head for the stall with the longest queue. Also, local chefs set up barbecues, cooking up smoking chicken and ribs on weekend evenings, and there’s a mobile stall on the road between the airport and Store Bay Beach that sells doubles, pies, roti and other Trini Indian delights.

La Cantina ITALIAN $$

( 639-8242; http://lacantinapizzeria.com; RBTT Compound, Milford Rd; pizza from TT$40; lunch & dinner, closed Wed & Sun lunch) Tucked into a bank compound off Milford Rd, this buzzing pizza joint cooks up a huge range of pizzas in its wood-fired oven – you can watch the chef spinning dough and adding toppings. Good salads and fast service.

Kariwak Village CARIBBEAN $$

( 639-8442; Kariwak Village Hotel; breakfast TT$70, dinner from TT$150; breakfast, lunch & dinner; ) Beneath the thatched roof and coral-stone walls of this open-air restaurant, the Kariwak chefs create masterpieces of Caribbean and Creole cuisine using fresh ingredients, including organic herbs and vegetables from the garden.
