Green Market

Top choice in Port of Spain


Set in the verdant Santa Cruz Valley, this fabulous spot has an organic farmers market selling all kinds of sustainably grown tropical delights, as well as wonderful food offerings, from Venezuelan arepas (corn pancakes) to Creole treats, hot cocoa tea (hot chocolate) and pure fresh juices. Kick back on a bench under the trees and enjoy brunch alfresco.

Sundays are the best day for food stalls, when you can also check out a raft of craft stalls and regular events from live music performances to kids' activities and cooking demos. On both days, vendors use sustainable packaging and you're encouraged to bring reusable containers for food and drink.
