The Perfect South & West Coast Food Route
Here’s a foodie-friendly road trip that starts right after you land and takes you through Grenada’s most delicious stops — all easily reached by car.
1. St. George’s – Spice Market & BB’s Crabback
Kick off your day in the capital. The St. George’s Market Square is a sensory overload of spices, fresh fruits, and cocoa treats. Then head to BB’s Crabback, famous for its buttery crab and oceanfront views.
Must-try: Crabback with coconut sauce and nutmeg rum punch.
2. Grand Anse Beach – Umbrellas & Sangria Restaurant
A short 10-minute drive south brings you to Grand Anse Beach, Grenada’s most famous coastline. Stop at Umbrellas for burgers, seafood tacos, or grilled mahi-mahi, all paired with cold local beer.
If you want something fancier, visit Sangria Restaurant for Mediterranean-Caribbean fusion with sunset views.
3. True Blue Bay – Dodgy Dock Restaurant
Continue south to Dodgy Dock at True Blue Bay Resort. This spot is a favorite among locals and visitors for its live music, creative cocktails, and themed nights.
Must-try: Lionfish tacos or oil down (Grenada’s national dish).
4. Gouyave – Fish Friday Street Festival
End your tour in Gouyave, the “town that never sleeps.” Every Friday night, the streets fill with music, barbecue smoke, and freshly fried fish.
It’s an authentic Grenadian experience — casual, lively, and perfect for food lovers.
Must-try: Grilled snapper, breadfruit chips, and local chocolate bars for dessert.
Drive carefully after evening events — oads near Gouyave and True Blue can get dark and winding at night. Plan your return before midnight or stay overnight nearby.
