Grand Case is known as the gourmet capital of the Caribbean: dozens of restaurants on one street. The tasting walk goes from the “lolos” — street grills serving ribs, lobster and johnny cakes — to French bistros and a bar of infused rums.
In winter the street is closed to traffic on Tuesdays for a party with music and craft stalls. In season, tables at the well-known restaurants need booking ahead.
