Trinidad & Tobago – Cheap Eats

Shore Things Cafe & Craft
“With a dramatic setting over the ocean on the Milford Road between Crown Point and Scarborough, this is a good spot to stop for lunch or a coffee break. Survey the view from the deck tables while enjoying a variety of freshly prepared juices (the tamarind is particularly refreshing) and nibbling on excellent sandwiches or enjoying a hearty callaloo soup. The whole-wheat pizza is great, and owner Giselle Beaubrun takes special pride in her indulgent desserts. The menu also has a good selection of vegetarian and vegan choices. While waiting for your meal, you can shop for local crafts in the lovely and comprehensive gift shop.” – Fodors.com

The Pasta Gallery
“This tiny gem specializes in hearty servings of beautifully prepared homemade pasta at a budget friendly price. It’s on the main road to Pigeon Point Beach with three outside tables and about an equal number inside. The funky decor, range of local artwork, small size, and attentive, casual service make it feel like you’re at a small dinner party with friends. The spaghetti alla carbonara is comfort food done right. It’s within walking distance of most Crown Point hotels. ” – Fodors.com

Veni Mange
“The best lunches in town are served in this traditional West Indian house filled to the brim with Caribbean art. The restaurant is the creation of Rosemary (Roses) Hezekiah and her late sister, Allyson Hennessy—a Cordon Bleu–trained chef who was a local television celebrity. The creative creole menu changes regularly, but there’s always an unusual and delicious vegetarian entrée (Roses is vegetarian). Veni’s version of Trinidad’s national dish, callaloo, is considered one of the best on the island. The chip chip (a small local clam) cocktail is deliciously piquant and is a restaurant rarity. The restaurant’s signature dish, stewed oxtail with dumplings, is not served every day but is worth ordering if it’s available. The bar area is a popular hangout for local artists and sports celebrities. If you can visit only one restaurant and want to get a truly Trinidadian experience, this is the place. ” – Fodors.com

Town Restaurant & Bar
“Though the menu is skewed toward Chinese cuisine, this extremely popular eatery on Cipriani Boulevard offers everything from ravioli to lobster thermidor. Young professionals flock here on evenings to enjoy the lively atmosphere, attentive but laid-back service, and consistently good (and reasonably priced) food. Parking is always an issue in the area, but don’t be fooled by the men on the roadside offering to find you a parking spot and “look after your car” for a price. It’s also a great place to enjoy a cocktail or two. ” – Fodors.com
