International Restaurants in Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago might be best known for doubles and roti, but if you’re after international flavors, you’ve got options that don’t disappoint.

Places like Ariapita Avenue in Port of Spain aren’t just about local fare. You can find a solid Italian spot like Piatto nearby serving proper pasta with a side of laid-back island vibes. Or if you’re in Tobago, check out bars in Crown Point where fresh seafood meets Caribbean-spiced Asian influences. Sometimes I crave Japanese sushi, and Sushi Ristorante in Port of Spain usually hits the spot with fish flown in fresh, not something you'd expect in the Caribbean.

But here’s the thing: international doesn’t always mean fancy and expensive. There are smaller, tucked-away spots offering legit Lebanese wraps or Mexican tacos for a fraction of what you might expect. If you swing by the Queen’s Park Savannah area on a weekend, you’ll often find food trucks doing international street food , everything from Korean BBQ sliders to Greek gyros. Just a heads up: many of these places get busy on weekends, so go early or be ready to wait and chat with locals. That’s part of the charm in Trinidad and Tobago’s international food scene.

Local tips for eating international

If you want to get a true taste of international food here, don’t just stick to restaurants with big signs. Ask around locals in neighborhoods like St. Clair or Woodbrook, where small, family-run joints quietly serve authentic Indian, Middle Eastern, or East Asian dishes.

For instance, if you like Lebanese food, try Lebanese Foods on Tragarete Road , it’s simple but real. And don’t miss the international street food at the Craft Market near Queen’s Park Savannah on weekends. You’ll find everything from Jamaican patties to Korean wraps. And a tip? Wednesdays at the Waterfront Car Park in Port of Spain sometimes have food trucks doing international specials – worth checking if you’re in town.
