La Robe Creole Review

One of the best independent restaurants in the capital, La Robe Creole sits on the second floor of a colonial house, beside a sunny plaza on a slope above the sea. The staff, dressed in madras Creole costumes, serves food in a long, narrow dining room capped with heavy beams and filled with 19th-century relics. You can enjoy pumpkin-pimento soup, callaloo with cream of coconut soup, crab backs (in season), and shrimp in coconut with garlic sauce. For dessert, try banana or coconut cake or ice cream.

A street-level section of the restaurant, The Mouse Hole (Mon-Sat 7:30am-4pm), is a good place for food on the go. You can buy freshly made sandwiches, salads, and light meals. They make good Trinidad-inspired rotis.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
