Although some of the salads contain meat or fish, we have greatly enjoyed the fresh produce of the islands. We have had vegetable- only salads on all of the islands in the French West Indies. If you are in a restaurant which does not satisfy your needs for vegetarian foods, you generally can get a salad made from local vegetables. This may not meet all your nutritional requirements at that meal, but at the least you will have a filling and very tasty meal. Indian Restaurants Our last vegetarian visitor to Guadeloupe mentioned that the island has a considerable number of Indian restaurants which serve vegetarian food.
Vegetarian dishes are also available in Italian restaurants and other places that serve pasta.
If you eat milk and eggs, you may order omelettes with cheese, mushrooms, and other vegetables. It was only in small Creole restaurants that she had any problems obtaining vegetarian food. The preceding paragraphs are from Tina. She has given us permission to post her email address in case other vegetarians have questions about dining on Guadeloupe. We apologize for this inconvenience, but we hope you understand.
