Guadeloupe

Increasingly, foodies are recognizing the sheer culinary power of the French Caribbean, and Guadeloupe, like Martinique, is front and centre. From its decadent bokit street sandwiches to classic French brasseries, Guadeloupe is as great a culinary destination as you’ll find anywhere — and what makes it unique is that it’s an archipelago – meaning that you can’t just island hop, but you can also food hop, sampling the varying cuisines on each of the French department’s five major islands.
