Saint-Pierre is a small town and the restaurant options reflect that. The seafront has several small local restaurants and snack bars serving Creole food — grilled fish, accras (salt cod fritters), boudin (spiced blood sausage), and crab dishes. Standards are generally good; the fish is fresh and the Creole cooking is unpretentious and flavourful. Prices are reasonable by Martinique standards.
The main meal of the day in Martinique is lunch, and several of the seafront restaurants do a plat du jour at midday that represents the best value. Dinner options are more limited — some places close in the evening, and it is worth checking ahead if you are planning to eat late.
Rum punch (ti punch — white agricole rum, cane syrup, and lime) is the default drink throughout the island, and Saint-Pierre, sitting near the Depaz distillery on the lower slopes of Mont Pelée, is a logical place to take it seriously. Most restaurants serve a house punch before the meal.
