Port of Spain has some of the most interesting street food in the Caribbean, rooted in the island's mix of African, Indian, and Chinese culinary traditions. Doubles — two fried bara (flatbread) filled with curried chickpeas and topped with pepper sauce and chutney — are the city's definitive street snack, eaten for breakfast or any time of day. Look for doubles vendors on street corners throughout the city, particularly around the market and bus terminals.
Ariapita Avenue in Woodbrook is the main restaurant strip, with everything from Indian-Trinidadian cooking to Chinese to modern Caribbean. Most places are casual and inexpensive by international standards.
