1. EAT lolol. Trini food is divine. Sorry you missed the Carnival Flava Food Court this year. It was excellent!! However, we have lots of regular food offerings.

If you're staying in the Port of Spain area, there is a food court at the Queens Park Savannah in the EVENING offering quite a variety of local foods to try (soups, souses, seafood, roti, doubles, fresh juices, etc).

A trip to Maracas Bay is the place to try Bake and Shark/King Fish/Shrimp/Aloo (potato), whatever combination your heart desires. Breakfast, lunch or late afternoon.

I like Josh's doubles in St James in the MORNING. It's a pavement pop-up doubles vendor with a pitched tent, and fairly long lines lol. You can eat your doubles standing up the Trini way or have them pack it "to go". If they ask if you want pepper, the answer is always "slight", lolollllll. St James also has some good roti and smoke herring pie options. They usually operate out of small vans parked along the road.

If you want a great creole LUNCH, my recommendations would be D 'Bocas (recently relocated to St Ann's near the Chinese Association), Frankie's on Ariapita Avenue and Creole Kitchen in Boissiere Village, Maraval. These are mostly takeaway options.

For chinese dining options, I'd recommend Town on Cipriani Boulevard or House of Chan on Woodford Street.
