St Vincent is one of the few islands where good West Indian cuisine can almost always be enjoyed in hotels. Specialties include red snapper, kingfish,
lambi (conch),
callalou soup,
souse (pickled meat or seafood) and sea-moss drink. In addition there is plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and other seafood on offer. Lobster is available in season.
Vincentian beer and rum, a major ingredient in punch and cocktails, are the local drinks, as are a wide variety of local exotic fruit juices.
Tipping: 10 to 15 per cent service added to the bill.
NightlifeMost evening events
take place in hotels and it is best to ask at individual hotels for a calendar of events. Nightclubs include the
Aquatic club and the
Buccama Club on the Leeward Coast.
The Attic in Kingstown features a wide variety of music during the week and live entertainment at weekends. There is one casino on the island, at Peniston, on the Leeward side.
