Grocery Stores

There are three main grocery stores within a reasonable distance to the school: Spiceland Mall's Real Value, Food Fair, and Food Land. Real Value is on the main bus route between True Blue and Grand Anse campuses. Food Fair is not far from Real Value (within walking distance) or you can take the Mont Tout school bus from school to the door. Downtown also has a Food Fair and a Food Land, as well as the downtown produce market. All downtown areas can be reached by reggae bus. Reggae bus stops are all over the island. The easiest one for most people to get to is near the Round Houses in Grand Anse. Real Value is usually the most expensive grocery store, though it usually has the largest selection. They also carry American-imported meats and poultry, and have a good deli department- which is cheaper than packaged meats. Food Fair and Food Land are usually less expensive, but have fewer selections. Food Fair has a great selection of cheeses- even imported European cheeses- sometimes for cheaper than in the states. All stores have cheap spices as well. Just make sure no matter where you shop, you check expiration dates.

Other Stores

Hubbard's is a well-known hardware store that also carries miscellaneous things such as pet food, dishes, pots and pans, plants, etc. It is located next to the Food Fair nearest to the school. There is also an Ace Hardware downtown, on the caranage. Courts is another popular, though sopmewhat expensive store. It carries some hardware, electronics, and carpet to name a few things.

Places to Eat

There are a lot of nice restaurants on the island. If you want to learn about them, click here for a link to a restaurant guide. But if you're a starving student, don't even tempt yourself. One day when you come back to Grenada for vacation, you can go to all of them. Places that students go can sometimes be a little more shady, but the food is good and the prices are nothing to complain about.

Nick's, located under the Round Houses in the Grand Marquis square in Grand Anse has great sandwiches, gyros, donuts, drinks and popsicles for a great price. La Boulangerie is a little French / Italian cafe also located under the Round Houses. They have great Italian pizzas starting at 22EC. They also serve quiches, calzones, and other Italian food. Order to go or eat in the cafe. Le Chateau is also in the Round House complex, they have decent sandwiches, good fries and excellent fish fingers!! Reasonably priced, very friendly and time efficient service! The Ladies, of course, is popular with the students. They are located on Grand Anse campus, next to the dorms. The price is unbeatable, the portions are humongous, and it tastes pretty good. All the food is local, and whether you like it or not, consider going a cultural experience. If you're in the mood for burgers, a great hang-out is Rick's- Walk in, Dance Out. The burgers and pizzas are good and the prices are great. Rick's is located next to Food Fair and Hubbard's. Jade Garden, which is located right next to the Texaco on the Fish n Chicks (yes, not Chips) roundabout costs about $10 EC per meal and serves pretty decent chinese food. Also for chinese food, Choo Light in Lance aux Epines right on the main road is reasonably priced and pretty good- especially their wontons and egg rolls. One other place for more of a dining experience with out the HUGE bill is De Soleil in the Alamada Hotel. It's set around a pool area with nice paintings. Expect to spend about $100 EC for two appetizers, two entrees (pasta and good fajitas), a soda and a glass of wine. It has really good food at decent prices!!! If you feel nostalgic for something from home, and want something cheap, drop by the NEW Subway- yes, the same one Jared advertises- located in the Excel Plaza, near the movie theater. And don't forget the KFC next to Spiceland Mall.
