Dining
Guadeloupian cuisine, like much of the island's culture, is the result of a mix of influences. Creole specialties have strong French characteristics and use local spices and flavors to give dishes their unique character. Seafood features heavily on most menus, but local specialties are diverse, including things like goat and many exotic fruits. Many of the city's best restaurants are located around the Marina at Le Gosier, offering expertly prepared dishes and stunning harbor views.
