Martinique We’ve always set that Martinique is the rare destination where you simply can’t have a bad meal — even if you try. The French Caribbean department’s cuisine is as layered as it is outstanding, meaning you’ll get the same passion and expertise at a roadside chicken stand as you will at Marcel Ravin’s eponymous eatery in Fort-de-France or at the La Suite Villa hotel’s superb Le Zandoli restaurant, which recently snatched up Michelin-star Chef Florent Boucher from Bordeaux. What’s remarkable, though, is for all of its renown and quality, what you won’t find is pretentiousness. Martinique knows its food is amazing, and doesn’t need to boast. (That’s all without mentioning the island’s place as the world’s capital of rum.)
