Dominica's Dining
Most of Dominica's restaurants serve up an eclectic menu of continental and West Indian dishes.
Dining in Dominica can be as much about the ambience as it is about the cuisine. Many restaurants offer spectacular sceneries and captivating panoramas of the island's unmatched natural beauty along with the unique aroma of blended herbs and spices, and each guard their own culinary secret.
Dominican chefs are quite adept at preparing many European and American delicacies, even with a West Indian touch.
For the more intrepid traveller seeking a full cultural immersion, there are many food courts and eateries dishing out family-style cooking. Dominican cuisine tends to be spicy but not flaming hot.
Fast food franchises are almost non existent on the island; with KFC the solitary exception.
For a quick bite to eat, many hash houses sell a wide assortment of Caribbean snacks such as rotis, meat pies, and sandwiches.
Dominica offers some of the most succulent fresh fruits found in the Caribbean, including: mangoes, papayas, melons, oranges, grapefruits, bananas, sour sop, and tangerines. They are often served as dessert, but when pureed or liquefied, they make the sumptuous refreshers.
For the traveler craving a drink with a sharper sting, the local Kubuli beer or any of the domestic rum based beverages, such as punches or daiquiris are tingling quenchers. And don't miss the crystal clear local waters: Loubiere and Morne Trois Pitons bottled fresh from our sparkling rivers.
