Where to eat in Grenada

Nat Geo

A real spice island where oil down, crab-back and nutmeg-scented rum punch are eaten in a harbor town.

National Geographic Best of the World 2027: Nat Geo names Grenada more than beaches: the Spice Isle, with nutmeg, mace and cocoa, and a walkable capital. (National Geographic Best of the World 2027)

The dish: Oil down

Grenada's national dish: salted meat, breadfruit, callaloo and dumplings simmered in coconut milk. The best one is at Dodgy Dock Street Food Wednesday.

When to goJanuary to May is the dry season; Spicemas in August is the big festival.

Good to knowOil down is rarely on menus and is often a Friday dish, so ask a day ahead. Street Food Wednesday at Dodgy Dock starts around 6:30pm.

New this yearInterContinental Grenada La Sagesse is scheduled to open in November 2026 on the southeast coast (IHG).
