Guadeloupe’s dining scene is a vibrant blend of French, Caribbean, and Creole influences, offering a culinary experience that is both diverse and delicious. Begin your culinary journey by sampling traditional Creole dishes like colombo, a flavorful curry made with meat, fish, or vegetables, often served with rice and plantains. Le Poisson Rouge in Saint-François is a popular spot for enjoying fresh seafood, including grilled lobster and local fish, all while taking in stunning ocean views.

For a taste of French cuisine with a Caribbean twist, visit La Touna in Bouillante, where you can enjoy dishes like duck breast with a passion fruit sauce, paired with fine French wines.

If you’re in the mood for something casual, head to one of the many beachside lolo (local eateries) for freshly prepared bokits, a Guadeloupean sandwich made with fried dough and filled with a variety of meats, seafood, or vegetables. Don’t forget to try local desserts like coconut sorbet or a slice of the island’s famous rum cake.
