Because of its rich fertile soil and heavy rainfall, Grenada produces some of the best fresh herbs and vegetables in the Caribbean. Island livestock gets fat on the lush vegetation, which makes for delicious meat dishes. Tourists can find Grenadian cuisine everywhere on the island, including trendy restaurants and hotels. If you choose to stay in and dine, most of the island's hotels and resorts have delightful dining options, including on-location elegant restaurants specializing in international and local foods, or if you're up for a night on the town, Grenada has a variety of fine restaurants and eateries scattered around the island. Tourists can choose from a variety of dishes when feasting in Grenada: from romantic dinners of chilled lobster mousse to a more casual meal of fried conch fritters. For a meal on the go, several fast-food restaurants, including KFC, are located around the region. The"Spice Island" offers food to meet the tastes of even the most conservative palates. After a long day of exploring Grenada, you may not be primed for a meal in an upscale bistro. Many moderately priced restaurants on the island will appeal to casual diners or travelers on a budget. Meals in most mid-level restaurants cost $10(USD) to $25(USD). These prices don't include drinks or tips, so be sure to leave room in your budget for these little extra expenses. Many casual restaurants offer outdoor seating where you can enjoy your meal before a beautiful island sunset. Vacationers who want to enjoy a more elegant meal should try restaurants like Cicely's in the Calabash hotel, which serves exquisite dishes including honey-roasted breast of duckling in a special sauce. Expect to pay up to $55(USD) for a meal here. If spending that much on a meal sounds daunting, remember that inexpensive meals less than $10(USD) are very easy to find. Many upscale restaurants on the island require proper attire, so if you're not sure about the dress code, call ahead to find out. If you're dining during the high season, you'll definitely want to call ahead anyway to make a reservation, which couldn't hurt at casual restaurants during the peak season either. Finding the right kind of food for the right price will depend on your particular tastes as well as your budget, but Grenada can definitely supply meals to meet the needs of your wallet as well as your appetite.
