Culinary Destination of the Year: Martinique 

We’ve called it the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean, and travelers to this French Caribbean hotspot immediately recognize why. The island’s dining scene has never been more exciting, from the toes-in-the-sand foodie hotspots near Saint Pierre and Le Carbet to the booming food scene in Fort de France. But it’s more than that. Martinique isn’t just about its Michelin-quality eateries or its Napa Valley of rum – it’s a place where quality food and beverage is pervasive, whether you’re at a chicken shack on the side of the road or eating foie gras and banana on the beach.
