Overview

Saint Kitts & Nevis Street Food

The guide was updated: 2024-09-14

Street food is a key part in Saint Kitts and Nevis's food culture. Locals love to to stop by their favourite stalls and buy local delicacies or drinks. Although you can find street food stalls throughout the whole week, Fridays and Saturdays are usually the best days to enjoy this experience and mingle with the locals. Some of the foods visitors should definitely try are barbecued chicken and pork meat, conch fritters, which is fried shellfish that is hard to come by outside of the Caribbean, Roti; a flat bread that comes with a variety of fillings and others. Also, make sure you try the local lobster. You may think you have to go to an expensive restaurant and splurge to have lobster, but in Saint Kitts lobster is available in the most humble of establishments.
