Trinidad & Tobago – Fine Dining
“Style meets substance at veteran chef Khalid Mohammed’s restaurant. Famous for his extravagance, Mohammed presents food that rises off the plate like a Manhattan skyscraper. Classic European dishes are reinterpreted and paired with distinctively Caribbean touches like cassava (manioc) hash. There is an obsession with freshness here, and satisfaction is virtually guaranteed. Although the prices are high, it’s well worth it for a special romantic evening. Those on a budget might want to try a meal at its sister property, Chaud Café, located at 1 Woodbrook Place. ” – Fodors.com

“This upscale Indian eatery is one of the few in Trinidad that features genuine Indian cuisine and not the local (though equally tasty) version. The name means “celestial dancer,” and the food here is indeed heavenly. Choosing dishes from the comprehensive menu is a bit daunting, so don’t be afraid to ask for help. The Husseini boti kebab (lamb marinated in poppy seeds and masala) is an excellent choice. As an added bonus, it’s also possible to order Thai dishes from Tamnak Thai restaurant, which is located in the same building. Service can be a bit slow at times, and the prices are fairly high.” – Fodors.com

“Recorded steel-band music plays gently in the background at this romantic, candlelighted spot in the Kariwak Village complex. In a bamboo pavilion that resembles an Amerindian round hut, Cynthia Clovis orchestrates a very original menu. Whatever the dish, it will be full of herbs and vegetables picked from her organic garden, and there is always a vegetarian option. Be sure to try the delicious homemade ice cream and the reasonably priced but potent cocktails. Friday and Saturday buffets, with live jazz or calypso, are a Tobagonian highlight. Those really taken with the food can even purchase the restaurant’s cookbook, Cooking Kariwak Style.” – Fodors.com

“Occupying the ground floor of the BHP Billiton tower, this upscale establishment caters to businesspeople armed with large expense accounts and demanding tastes. The subtle lighting, understated decor, and attentive staff also make this the ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a special-occasion splurge. Though a variety of options are available, most diners come for the excellent Angus steaks, and not without reason. The wine cellar is one of the best on the island, and a well-chosen vintage may help take some of the edge off the inevitably large bill. The restaurant is behind the Marriott and next door to the Movietowne complex.” – Fodors.com
