Food Stalls
For the best bang for your buck, slurp noodles at Cayenne's market by day and browse the food stalls by night for delicious crepes, Indonesian fried rice or greasy hamburgers and sandwiches - all of them very cheap. Between the market, small Chinese grocery stores and some scattered supermarkets make self-catering a breeze.
