ikirumata Posted February 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I admit, Im a sucker for regional food. It always seems that when I plan a cruise, the first thing I do id look for what food I can get in port that I cant get at home...or at least a more authentic version. What port foods are the best/worst in your humble (or not) opinion? For me, the best food I have had was some smoked, candied salmon at the Granville Island farmers market in Vancouver BC.

Bookish Angel Posted February 14, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Cheese sticks at Australia's Adelaide Central Market, food at Johannesburg's Safari Club bed and breakfast and at KwaZulu-Natal's Phinda Private Game Resort. The last two were not a cruise trip. I have not had any bad food on cruises or other trips as I am extremely selective about what I eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalervyC Posted March 6, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 6, 2013 St John USVI - Conch fritters from Shipwreck Landing in Coral Bay. I would take someone's eye out and drop an elbow if it meant I could get one of these bad boys on a cold day like today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindibear2 Posted March 6, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Favourite food cities? Rome (pizza and pasta of course plus that heavenly gelato), baklava in Santorini and paella in Barcelona. Least favourite? None really. I think we've been very fortunate with food choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CntPAcruiser Posted June 22, 2013 #9 Share Posted June 22, 2013 St. Martin--Harbor View restaurant on the boardwalk in Phillipsburg, baby back ribs and curried anything they have that day. Antigua--the Roti, sorry don't remember the name of the restaurant. It is a large flatbread of sorts filled with stewed meat and was out of this world. (Roti with curried conch a close second, on St. Kitts.) Curacao--Seaquarium Beach has a snack bar with Dutch fast food. The Kippkorn and pommes frites are delicious (Kippcorn is a chicken fritter breaded with cornflakes, basically). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianne74 Posted June 28, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2013 People will think I am nuts but at Margaritaville they have the best calamari. We've been to a couple, but always get it in Cozumel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
