La Cantina

Port of Spain


Sister-restaurant of a renowned Tobago pizzeria, Port of Spain's branch is in an airy old building, and cooks up scrumptious fish, chicken and beef platters alongside the real stars: the pizzas. Thin-crust and wood-fired, they come with all the classic toppings; lunchtime burgers are pretty good, too. There's a kids' menu.
