Grenada

Grenada earns its 'Spice Island' nickname from aromatic nutmeg, cinnamon, and cocoa that infuse every dish. Dive into oil down, the national dish of breadfruit, salted meat, and callaloo simmered in coconut milk with turmeric—a hearty one-pot meal you'll find at local cookshops for around EC$20 (about $7.50 USD). Don't miss the River Antoine Estate Rum Distillery, where water-wheel-powered machinery produces bold rums; tastings start at EC$10 (roughly $3.70 USD).

For chocolate lovers, visit the House of Chocolate in St. George's or Belmont Estate to sample organic bars and learn bean-to-bar processes. Fresh seafood shines at beachside spots like Umbrella’s Beach Bar—try grilled mahi-mahi with spice rubs. At the Grand Anse Spice & Craft Market, haggle for nutmeg syrup or cinnamon sticks.
