Frommer's Highly Recommended

Some of the finest cuisine in Basseterre is found here. The views from the open-air veranda -- especially at night when the harbor is lit up -- are also some of the best around. We prefer the real down-home island dishes; international specialties tend to be blander. Dinner might include tasty fish cakes, accompanied by breaded carrot slices, creamed spinach, a stuffed potato, a cornmeal dumpling known as a johnnycake, and a green banana in a lime-butter sauce, topped off by a tropical fruit pie and coffee. The less daring can stick with chateaubriand.
