Restaurants on Grenada
 On the Spice Island of the Caribbean, West Indian and Creole flavors combine to produce a unique cuisine that is distinctly Grenadian. Creole cuisine and seafood are Grenada’s specialties and the inspiration for some of the island’s best restaurants.
Grenada’s more exotic dishes include "Oildown," which is the national dish and consists of a stew made with salted meat, breadfruit, onion, carrot, celery, dasheen (a root vegetable grown locally) and dumplings, all slowly steamed in coconut milk until the liquid is absorbed. Seafood of all kinds is very popular and plentiful, with Grenadian caviar (roe of white sea urchin), conch and a fish dish called "Stuffed Jacks" appearing on many restaurant menus.

Bars on Grenada
  The beach bars in the southern part of the island and the bars in St George’s (particularly the ones surrounding the Carenage), see an easy-going mix of visitors and Grenadians.
The musical diet is fairly international, with a range of R&B, Hip Hop and international rock.
It is always worth asking around what is happening in the hotels because some of the best entertainment happens there.
The music in local clubs includes plenty of Jamaican dancehall as well as Latin and other Caribbean sounds.
In the north of the island, where there are fewer tourists, there is a much stronger Caribbean flavour, so if you would like to see a regional band playing to a local crowd look around at the fly posters and in the papers, or ask.
There is no real dress code in the bars and clubs, but smart casual would be normal except on the beach and in open air clubs.
Don’t forget the beach bars though, because they are some of the coolest Grenadian experiences.
