Executive Chef and owner Johnny Aboud set a new benchmark for fine dining and attentive service in Trinidad when he opened Aioli. Deep earth tones and subtle lighting make the interior of the restaurant seem miles away from its location in an upscale suburban mall. The Mediterranean-inspired menu features beautifully presented dishes ranging from reasonable risottos to extravagant favorites like roasted rack of lamb. While Caribbean spiny lobster is the norm in most restaurants in T&T, fans of Maine lobster will find their beloved crustacean on offer here. The three-course lunch, offered from Tuesday through Friday, is a prix-fixe menu.

The Sardinha family has been serving the best local lunches at their home since the 1980s. The ebullient Alison entertains and hugs diners while her husband, Ken, does the cooking. The only bad news is that the restaurant is primarily a lunch spot; the good news is that you may not have room for dinner afterward.

This chic spot is tucked away on a side street in the Newtown area of uptown Port of Spain, but every taxi driver knows where it is. Chef Cristian Grini always serves classic Italian favorites—the authentic, surprisingly affordable pizza is probably the island's best—and the bar attracts young professionals and hipsters who come for the excellent cocktails and late-night desserts. This restaurant is associated with the even more upscale Prime Restaurant, so the service is impeccable.

Style meets substance at veteran chef Khalid Mohammed's restaurant. Famous for his extravagance, Mohammed presents food that rises off the plate like a Manhattan skyscraper. Classic European dishes are reinterpreted and paired with distinctively Caribbean touches like cassava (manioc) hash. There is an obsession with freshness here, and satisfaction is virtually guaranteed. Although the prices are high, it's well worth it for a special romantic evening. Those on a budget might want to try a meal at its sister property, Chaud Café, located at 1 Woodbrook Place.

Lebanese-born chef Joseph Habr has been serving fine cuisine at his Maraval location for over a decade and has more than 25 years of experience under his belt. The restaurant is a lovely open affair with a dining room that looks out on a lush garden—complete with the sound of flowing water and relentlessly chirping crickets. Joseph visits every table and is always happy to offer helpful advice. The menu is comprehensive, and somehow there seems to be an Arabic element in even seemingly conventional dishes. If in doubt, it's impossible to go wrong with any of the lamb offerings. The truly adventurous may special order Joseph's renowned kibbeh nayeh—a generous portion of Lebanese lamb tartare.

Recorded steel-band music plays gently in the background at this romantic, candlelit spot in the Kariwak Village complex. In a bamboo pavilion that resembles an Amerindian round hut, Cynthia Clovis orchestrates a very original menu. Whatever the dish, it will be full of herbs and vegetables picked from her organic garden, and there is always a vegetarian option. Be sure to try the delicious house-made ice cream and the reasonably priced but potent cocktails. Friday and Saturday buffets, with live jazz or calypso, are a Tobagonian highlight. Those really taken with the food can even purchase the restaurant's cookbook, Cooking Kariwak Style.

Milanese owner Gabriele de Gaetano has created the island's most prominent Italian eatery, serving everything from basic but tasty pizzas to elaborate northern Italian pasta dishes to carpaccio with a delicious Tuscan sauce. Sitting on the large patio surrounded by lush foliage with Gabriele rushing from table to table chatting in Italian-laced English is all the entertainment you'll need.

Occupying the ground floor of the BHP Billiton tower, this upscale establishment caters to businesspeople armed with large expense accounts and demanding tastes. The subtle lighting, understated decor, and attentive staff also make this the ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a special-occasion splurge. Though a variety of options are available, most diners come for the excellent Angus steaks, and not without reason. The wine cellar is one of the best on the island, and a well-chosen vintage may help take some of the edge off the inevitably large bill. The restaurant is behind the Marriott and next door to the Movietowne complex.

With a dramatic setting over the ocean on the Milford Road between Crown Point and Scarborough, this is a good spot to stop for lunch or a coffee break. Survey the view from the deck tables while sipping a variety of freshly prepared juices (the tamarind is particularly refreshing) and nibbling on excellent sandwiches or enjoying a hearty callaloo soup. The whole-wheat pizza is great, and owner Giselle Beaubrun takes special pride in her indulgent desserts. The menu also has a good selection of vegetarian and vegan choices. While waiting for your meal, you can shop for local crafts in the lovely and comprehensive gift shop.

Beautifully presented dishes made with the freshest of fish is the big draw at this cozy eatery. The surf and turf, featuring Caribbean spiny lobster, is excellent, and the bar is usually lively and populated with regulars who consider this an essential Tobago dining experience.

Set in a traditional West Indian house filled to the brim with Caribbean art, this restaurant is the creation of Rosemary (Roses) Hezekiah and her late sister, Allyson Hennessy, a Cordon Bleu–trained chef who was a local television celebrity. The creative creole menu changes regularly, but there's always an unusual vegetarian entrée; the callaloo is considered one of the island’s best; and the chip chip cocktail, a restaurant rarity, is deliciously piquant. If it's available, be sure to try the signature stewed oxtail with dumplings.

Calabrian chef Angelo Cofone married a Trinidadian and soon found himself in the restaurant business. Popular with locals and visiting businesspeople alike, Angelo's has an innovative Italian menu that changes regularly, and there's always a daily special. The restaurant is on Ariapita Avenue, which locals now refer to as the strip or simply "the avenue."

This upscale eatery is one of the few in Trinidad that features genuine Indian cuisine and not the local (though equally tasty) version. The name means "celestial dancer," and the food here is, indeed, heavenly, though ordering from the comprehensive menu is daunting; don't be afraid to ask for help (the husseini boti kebab—lamb marinated in poppy seeds and masala—is an excellent choice). Service can be a bit slow at times, and the prices are fairly high.

This eatery seats 200, but it's divided into multiple levels, so there's still a sense of intimacy. Statuary is strewn about with carefree abandon, and the sound of flowing water permeates the room.

Some of the most imaginative food on the island is to be found at this elegant establishment that has been an institution on restaurant row for over a decade. Chef and owner Moses Ruben uses his years of experience as head chef at the Hilton to create delightfully balanced meals. Unusual pairings like Chilean sea bass with toasted coconut are the norm, and it's always worth leaving room for dessert.

This popular after-work drinking and dining spot serves consistently excellent sushi; indeed, it was the first sushi establishment on the Ariapita Avenue dining strip. Eat on the outdoor deck amid the sights (and traffic sounds) of "the avenue," or sit indoors for a cooler, quieter, and more intimate experience with a view of sushi masters preparing the "Maracas" roll (tuna, cucumber, tobiko, onion, and a dynamite sauce) and other crowd pleasers.

At the elegant Coco Reef Resort, you can select contemporary dishes with an island twist from a menu that changes seasonally (the fish dishes are always worth special attention, though). The peach walls and whitewashed wooden ceiling make the resort's restaurant feel airy and light, and island breezes waft through the palm-lined terrace. A dress code is enforced, but casual chic is fine, and men are not required to wear jackets for dinner.

In a beautifully renovated colonial house on Queen's Park Savannah, you can find one of the very few restaurants serving Thai cuisine in Trinidad. On the patio (when it's open) you're surrounded by flowing water and lush foliage; the elegant dining room is a more intimate (and cooler) experience. Those keeping an eye on their budget may wish to consider sticking to vegetarian dishes, which are tasty and quite economical. Service can be erratic at times, and the building seems to be forever in the middle of a renovation. Alfresco diners should use insect repellent, as the mosquitoes seem even more ravenous than most of the diners. Valet parking is an unusual but welcome touch.

This tiny gem specializes in hearty servings of beautifully prepared pasta dishes (the spaghetti alla carbonara is comfort food done right). It's on the main road to Pigeon Point Beach, within walking distance of most Crown Point hotels, and has three outside tables and about an equal number inside, so dining here makes you feel as if you're at a small dinner party with friends. Many of the pieces of local art displayed on the walls are for sale.

Port of Spainers in the know flock to this teak-lined dining room on the eighth floor of the Kapok Hotel, where the solid menu features fantastic Polynesian and Asian fare. The Sunday dim sum—with tasting-size portions of dishes such as pepper squid and tofu-stuffed fish—is very popular.
