Taste
Martinique’s cuisine
With a rich history and a wealth of cultural influences, Martinican cuisine captivates with its character and generosity. It draws inspiration from pre-Columbian, African, European and Indian traditions. It skilfully combines spices, fresh herbs, seafood and the bounty of the land. Accras, grilled fish, Creole blood sausage and tropical fruit-based desserts make for a colourful feast, deeply rooted in the spirit of sharing.
Restaurants
From the seaside to bustling market towns, the restaurants of southern Martinique invite you on a culinary getaway. From family-run Creole eateries to contemporary restaurants putting a new spin on classics, or establishments right on the beach: each one has its own unique character whilst showcasing local produce. Freshly caught fish, locally grown vegetables, fragrant spices and homemade treats feature on generous menus where tradition meets creativity.
Markets in the South
Markets are the very beating hearts of our local communities, inviting us to explore and meet new people. Beneath the colourful stalls, you’ll find sun-kissed fruit and vegetables, fragrant spices and artisan specialities. People come here as much to stock up on flavours as to chat with the producers. Strolling through a market means soaking up the warm atmosphere that gives our region its charm.
Rums
Rum, the pride of Martinique, is as much a pleasure to savour as it is to discover. From family-run distilleries to historic establishments, every stage reveals ancestral expertise, transforming sugar cane into a nectar with unique aromas. Tastings, guided tours and meetings with the cellar masters offer a sensory journey into the heart of the flavours and traditions of the South.
