Drinks

Don’t miss tasting “hairoun”, the island’s local beer which prides in a gold medal won in Bruxelles, 1993. Hotels offer a multitude of excellent cocktails, but you should certainly avoid ordering wine if you are not in a high quality restaurant, as you are sure to be disappointed by its quality and price.

Crayfish: The main dish

This spiky crustacean with its long antennae is the king of Saint Vincent, even though if it were up to him, he would probable trade this title with anyone willing to take it…. Breeders compete in offering exceptional quality, and consequently the crayfish is on every menu, served with sauces of various taste and colour. Not so long ago, however, this charming reddish animal was considered “poor man’s bread”, and was eaten by fishermen only when fish were scarce and hard to find!
