What is a popular drink in Saint Lucia? Anything cold will do on this often-humid island, but as far as drinks go, rum tends to be favored in Saint Lucia. You'll encounter many small rum shops as you navigate the island, but whether you choose a rum shop, or an actual bar, rum punch is usually a good choice.
The signature meal you should have in Saint Lucia is green figs and salt fish, the island's national dish. Locals boil unripe bananas and then add salt-cured boiled or flaked cod. It's a hearty dish made with various herbs and spices.
Families observe St. Lucia's Day in their homes by having one of their daughters (traditionally the eldest) dress in white and serve coffee and baked goods, such as saffron bread (lussekatter) and ginger biscuits, to the other members of the family. These traditional foods are also given to visitors during the day.
