Breakfast Shed

Top choice in Port of Spain


Under an awning right on the water, this is the place to go for Trini tastes and great views over the Gulf, with stalls arranged around an open-air, picnic-benched eating area. The large servings of local fare include fish or chicken with macaroni pie, callaloo soup, stewed beans, plantain and rice. Breakfasts include saltfish buljol or smoked herring with fresh coconut bread.

You can grab a fresh juice or sea moss shake at Mr Juice’s stall.
