Culinary Explorations
French and Creole plus African and Indian influences are reflected in the food served in restaurants
througout Martinique. Many of the island’s hotels house restaurants but you can go on a culinary
adventure and explore the many eateries which dot the landscape. Why not check out La Kano located
in Trois-Ilets, Le Zanzibar in Marin, or Chez Carole in Fort-de-France which serves up creole cuisine in
a casual setting.
So, you feel a sudden,
unexplained urge for some
retail therapy of the French
kind, but don’t want to travel
to France - well, Martinique’s
got you covered! A lovely
assortment of luxury and
modest g oods line Rue Victor
Hugo, Rue Antoine Siger, Rue
Lamartine and Rue Moreau de
Jones.
For items such as craft, fashion,
souvenirs, art, spices and other
made-in-Martinique products,
check out Le Grand Marché
Couvert (Covered Market), in
Fort-de-France and Rue Ernest
Deproge.
You can definitely fulfil your
retail therapy requirements by
visiting Martinique, where you’ll
find local and international
treasures, of the French kind.
