Barbecue fish

Several hotels in Fort-de-France have restaurants worth noting, among them are the Impératrice on La Savane whose dining room, Le Joséphine, carries a different Creole menu every day. Seafood dishes also vary daily, among them a delicious braised fish with freshwater shrimp and breaded fillets of balaou, a local delicacy. On the Boulevard de la Marne in the lively Squash Hotel is Le Jardin des Alizés, a Paris-type brasserie that is great for a Creole paella or steak tartare.
