A Taste of the Caribbean
Food is an incredibly important part of Carribean culture and the 28 countries that make up the Carribean. Traditions in the kitchen are passed down from generation to generation, allowing various recipes and methods to be perfected overtime. The truth is, Caribbean cuisine is some of the most multi-cultured, diverse cuisine you will come across.
As our city grows, so does the wide landscape of delicious Carribean inspired cuisine. Whether it’s dinner time and you’re craving jerk chicken, roast pork, beef and rice, or other Carribean delights, Lakeland has plenty of local options to fulfill your cravings.
Carribean food is often savory, with an emphasis on hot spices. Slow cooking can be the norm when it comes to Carribean food, in order to allow the seasonings and flavors to fully take hold of the dish. Featuring ingredients such as sweet potatoes, coconut milk, tomatoes, and bell peppers, the flavors are bold, unique, and vibrant.
There is something for everyone when it comes to Carribean cuisine that always seems to have people coming back for more. We’ve compiled a list of Carribean food restaurants ready to take over our weekend plans.
