The treasure and social center of Port of Spain. Visiting again after 45 years and expecting the same beauty is obviously unfair and mostly intact, however the barracks, placed probably for the carnival could have been a better taste, reflecting local architecture, and should have been removed by now. It is sad to see that the evenings are not safe anymore in the park, so sad (and bad for local business and for tourism).

Super beautiful park. They sell coconut water everywhere which my son loves. Gras is super green and well trimmed, I really enjoy going there with my kid.

Queen's Park Savannah, often referred to as "the Savannah," is a major landmark and the largest open recreational space in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. It's a central hub for various activities, events, and historical attractions. It is considered to be one of the largest traffic roundabouts in the world. ​Things to Do and See. Recreation, the magnificent seven, nearby attraction and food vendors.

This natural large savannak is about 260 acres with a circumference of over 2.2 miles. The park is ringed by a busy roadway yet overs peace. The huge area offers sitting benches in the shade along the roadway. The huge interior is a large open field for playing, jumping, running. The southern end offers nightly food trucks from 6pm til about 11pm with various ethnic foods.

Day trip in POS, and headed to the savannah from the water taxi terminal. Not a bad walk. At that time 10am, savannah was pretty empty. Had a coconut and chilled for an hour, enjoying the cool breeze and allowing the day to pass me by. Probably would be much better in the afternoons.

Great outdoor space for any activities. Great running track and just a pleasant place to sit and take in the city shenanigans. The food vendors on the weekend are really amazing also. Just gotta try for your own experience. Which shouldn't disappoint 👍🏿

We loved the Savannah But especially the doubles truck that make them fresh in front of you We’ll worth a visit , and we paid many whilst in the Port of Spain Felt very safe and just a really good community atmosphere The lady that sells fresh juice opposite the ice cream seller is well worth a visit Lovely fresh healthy juice served with a smile 🥰

Thanks to Christian, my husband and I as well as my friends from NYC had a very educational & wonderful time. He gave an experience that exceeded my husband's and my 1st visit to the zoo. This was, according to my friend, one of the best zoo visits she's had due to the mini your as well as petting experience. What I would like to say to SOME of the visitors to the zoo is STOP TAKING GOD'S CREATIONS FOR GRANTED & SHOW APPRECIATION. You can do this by adherence to zoo rules/policies by NOT FEEDING THE ANIMALS. It's cruel! They die and there's so much red tape in getting new animals to the zoo to "entertain" you. Also, be considerate of shooting off fireworks and bamboo.... it spooks the animals literally to death. They can get so scared they run wild to their death. Think about this... God gave you a brain more vast than those animals; be appreciative and use it 😉

Well... I hate to give bad news about this place... but maybe the zoo will read this and make some changes before they close for good! The zoo need real help. The animal feces smell is all over the primate section and is inescapable, espescially on the humid rainy days. The signage on the exhibits are missing and poorly done. The larger animals look uncomfortable for sure and have no recourse from the heat. The aquarium...oh please stop calling it that!. Its just a few fish tanks with some freshwater species. The tanks need to be cleaned up, so the fish can be better displayed. The airconditioning in this space is a lovely escape from the stench of mamalian species areas, so that is a huge plus. Lots of the animal exhibit spaces are missing animals. Why??! The best parts of the zoo are the birds, zebras,& tigers. There are also many native food tree species in the zoo as well. Make the place more interactive by adding website maps, contol the odors, and add some saltwater fish species and other local wildlife along with the areas they are found in nature. This place could be such a national treasure! I remember this zoo from when I was a child. It was such a pleasant experience. I brought my own family here this week- 45 years later. I was embarassed at the condition of the place. Have some Trini Pride man, and fix this place up to modern tourist zoo standards. I would love to come back when things have improved. Thanks for reading and I really hope all-yuh do someting good for de place soon.

About 15 years ago, I took some expats to this zoo and it was actually quite nice— a little dated, but reasonably well maintained. On our recent visit to Trinidad, we decided to take our kids, thinking it would be a fun family outing. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The only real positive was the free parking. Given the island’s constant humidity, it would be a huge improvement if management installed misting stations throughout the grounds. This would make the visit much more comfortable. Instead, the entire zoo had an overwhelming odor of animal waste—particularly near the wild boar section, where the smell was almost unbearable. Basic facilities were also an issue. There wasn’t a single working sink with running water; most of the pipes were broken, with faucet handles just spinning in place. On the bright side, the animals were fairly active, and our kids enjoyed seeing some of the local wildlife, including snakes, turtles, deer, and agouti. Overall, the zoo has potential, but it’s clear that significant upkeep and investment are needed to bring it back to a standard that both locals and visitors can appreciate.

Visited recently after many years and I welcomed the few updates I noticed. The tents and benches added a touch of much needed comfort and a place to rest. Even though I personally find it is depressing for the animals to be in the small enclosures, I have observed the little improvements to accommodate the animals. Keep up the good job!

Lovely experience with the Halloween theme. Food and drinks on sale at two locations. My only concern was at the entry point to pay I told the cashier one child under 12 years and one adult. The cashier looked at my child who turned 11 years old a week ago and her facial expression and body language said it all. She assumed I was lying because my daughter looks more mature for her age. I paid $100 and had to remind the cashier I was waiting on my charge. Kids 12&under TT$20, 13&over is TT$40. That was the only uncomfortable part of my experience.

Lots of exotic animals, reptiles and birds. Tall giraffes, snakes and caymans.

It was awesome... Lots of different animals. The main reason I went to that zoo was because my little one loves giraffes. Only. To find out we couldn't go in that section :( we only saw the head of the giraffe. Was disappointed with that.

I'm sure we have all visited the Botanical Gardens.. but have you ever seen The Rainbow Eucalyptus? This is like nature's vibrant work of art! Its smooth, orange-tinted bark peels away to reveal a stunning array of colors—orange, gray, and purplish-brown—making it look like the tree’s wearing its own masterpiece. And let’s talk about its height: this tree towers majestically, with its long, tapering trunk stretching all the way up to the sky—truly a sight to behold. But this tree isn’t just about looks! Its leaves are packed with antiseptic properties, making them great for treating wounds. Plus, brew them into a tea and they help soothe asthma and coughs. Oh, and here’s the best part: the Rainbow Eucalyptus naturally repels mosquitoes. As someone with O+ blood (and an apparent magnet for mosquitoes), I couldn’t appreciate this more—goodbye, itchy bites! 🌈🌳🦟

Very natural and casual garden, large and nice to walk around. It is free. Nice way of spending an hour or so. Not many plants.

Awesome experience. Our stop was part of a tour so we only stayed for 20 minutes. They had public toilets which were relatively clean! The flora was great and our guide filled in the blanks! While there we saw the rainbow tree, pretty cool!

My wife and I had a wonderful time strolling through the Royal Botanic Gardens in Port of Spain. The gardens are beautifully maintained and offer a peaceful escape from the city. One thing to note is that the gardens are adjacent to the President's House, so be mindful of where you enter, as I made the mistake of getting too close and was politely approached by the guards. The gardens are also conveniently connected to the zoo, making it easy to explore both attractions in one visit. Overall, it was a great place to walk through and enjoy nature. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic outing.

Very clean and scenic area. The trees offer great shade for picnic and the bathrooms are easy to access. The gardens are closed between 5-6pm

Worth a stop. Plants weren't overly amazing but lots of birds, a decent koi pond, and a neat suspended bridge

Lovely place to go and just enjoy nature. Small cemetery inside with politicians graves. Overall very pretty. Didn't go up the hill. Just walked around the path Lucky enough to see a hummingbird, parrot, red squirrel and eguana.

I randomly asked a guard if the red house was open to the public and as soon as I stepped in I was given a free tour. The guide was very informative on the history of the parliament. The place was clean, modern and amongst the best yours ive ever had with very kind staff and security .

The tour experience was remarkable. The knowledgeable guide was well-equipped to answer all our questions and share some interesting facts about the Red House. A beautiful and fun experience I believe every citizen should have and try to book a visit.

First time visiting and it was absolutely beautiful lots of art and history and the police officers was so hospitable

The Red House in Trinidad and Tobago stands as a significant landmark and the seat of the Parliament of the twin-island nation. Located in the heart of Port of Spain, the capital city, this historic building is known for its distinctive red color, which gives it its name. The Red House has played a central role in the country's political landscape and has been a witness to many pivotal moments in Trinidad and Tobago's history. Originally constructed in the 19th century and opened in 1907, The Red House has undergone various phases of reconstruction and renovation, particularly following significant damage during the Water Riots of 1903 and again after a fire in 1990. Its architecture features Colonial-style elements that are characteristic of the period, including high ceilings, large windows, and detailed cornicing, which add to the building's grandeur and historic appeal. The Red House not only serves as the meeting place for the nation's Parliament but also symbolizes the democratic governance and cultural heritage of Trinidad and Tobago. Inside, the chambers where both the Senate and the House of Representatives convene are adorned with portraits and artifacts that reflect the nation’s history and development. Moreover, The Red House is not just a site for political activity; it also hosts various cultural and public events, providing a space for civic engagement and cultural expression. It stands as a testament to the resilience and continuity of governance in Trinidad and Tobago, embodying the spirit of the nation and its people. For visitors and locals alike, The Red House is a site of great historical and cultural significance, offering a glimpse into the vibrant political and cultural life of Trinidad and Tobago. Its ongoing role in the nation's affairs makes it a living piece of history, central to understanding the past and present of this Caribbean nation.

Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago. Architecture is perfect. Red house.

Visiting The Red House Of The Republic Of Trinidad And Tobago was one of the most exciting things ever!

Looks amazing. I didn't get a chance to go inside though

The view is beautiful. There’s ample space to sit, have lunch and just enjoy the ambiance while taking in the view. And the history of it all is amazing!

It’s free entry easy access. Good views

I remember going to Fort George as a child. The upkeep and mentainence of is Fort is impeccable ,I give it 100 out of 100, a must visit.

Spectacular views! This place is free to the public and perfect for a peaceful view of the city. The views are incredible. There is a long winding road uphill to get to the top. The place is a bit lonely so be alert. However it is so beautiful, perfect to have a picnic 🧺 and take pictures. The place is well maintained, there are of course old cannons and even a jail cell. I love walking around and exploring inside the jail and taking pictures by the cannons. There is very a toilet located on the property and parking. I highly recommend visiting here!

My First time visiting i must say the view is breath taking so beautiful. No crowds. Just some people hugging around the binoculars because it only had one available like they didn't want to give others a chance. The washroom facility is abandoned no security on the compound though. Becareful while venturing

First time visiting after many years, and I was a bit sad that I couldn't explore the higher grounds of this landmark due to repairs/maintenence works ongoing. HOWEVER, the environment on the outskirts provided that calming escape I needed nevertheless.

Most beautiful breathtaking view. The place itself was closed because we went on a Sunday but the scenery was mind blowing. Made friends with some puppies and overall enjoyed the atmosphere for my shoot.

Food here was great! Came here every morning to get breakfast. We tried the bake and saltfish, bake and eggs, bake and smoked herring, corn soup, and their fresh juices. It’s also a quick walk from the Hyatt.

If you are a tourist staying at the Hyatt or one of the near by hotels (as I was..) do yourself a favor by skipping the overpriced buffet breakfast and heading over here for a taste of the local cuisine. Salted fish Oxtail stew Traditional sandwich in friend dough

AMAZING.....I only eat at the first vendor and I get fresh squeezed juice at the last vendor

The best local breakfast I get is at the Breakfast Shed. They make the bake on the spot along with the roti. The food is delicious and authentic. I highly recommend.

Went for breakfast on a Sunday. Only two of the vendors were open. But it was good food, local breakfast options, and a nice scenic view.

Just Had Lunch from Tants Gourmet. Excellent Price for portion and flavors to make you want to ask for secret ingredients. Stop in and have a great experience. Lunch is nice on the waterfront!

A nice selection of local foods. But enough to please any appetite.

Found my go-to sports bar in Port of Spain! Had a fantastic time watching the Atlético vs. Real match here yesterday. The chicken strips were excellent—homemade and full of flavor! Plus, the happy hour from 4:00 to 7:00 PM is perfect for catching football matches with a great drink deal. Top-notch service and an awesome atmosphere. I'll definitely be back next week for more games! ⚽🍻

The energy at Island beer last night was excellent, along with the service. The cocktails were tasty, presentations were beautiful, and the waitress was quite knowledgeable on each of the offerings and able to answer all our questions without hesitation. The food, however, was a challenge. The wait time for food was extraordinarily long and left more to be desired, which i can only sum up to an off night as I've dined before, and the food tasted much better. Tonight was also quite busy and may have also been a contributing factor. The waitress apologized throughout, checked in, and even provided complimentary shots to compensate for the experience. Highly appreciated.

I had the bbq combo. It was good but the chicken needed to be cooked a little more. A bit on the pricey side for a box of BBQ.

This has become one of my favorite spots when I visit Trinidad. Food is consistent and great and the drinks exceptional. It's a really good spot to watch sports too. I ate the creamy chicken there and I ordered rolls from the Samurai place next door which was exceptional as well.

This place is vibes. Just a fair warning though, the music on the outside is very loud. However, indoor seating provides for a better experience to have a conversation. I visited to have a few beers with my partner and we had a blast. We sat by the bar, the bartender were very attentive and answered all our questions about the foreign beers. We would definitely visit again.

Really nice place with a big screen showing sports. I had a delicious house salad with grilled chicken that looked amazing as well. The bar staff was attentive and not too invasive. They let me sample the wine before deciding if I want to drink it, which was a very nice touch. I will definitely be back to try more food! Oh, and soca was playing from the speaker at just the right volume, creating a nice vibe but still allowing people inside to have conversations.

Great vibes, strong drinks, good food, and friendly service! Awesome spot to grab drinks and smoke some shisha. I smoke a lot of shisha back home and the quality and standards are on point here! They have a huge list of shots and cocktails along with a big menu. We didn't try too much of the food but what we had was tasty and prepared well! Definitely recommend as a great spot to pre drink, grab some drinks and food, or just smoke some shisha!

The most wonderful moment I experienced in this place was the great atmosphere and scenery created. Gives you a euphoric sensation before having the food. It’s almost like a home. The food was really wonderful and very tasty. I was yearning to try a creole cuisine and this was definitely the right place. I had the oxtail dish together with some rice. The coconut bread which was brought as a starter was remarkably good; fresh bread. The service was great. The waitress who served me was good. Also there was an old lady who seemed to be running things there, she was very amiable and pleasant to talk with. If you are a visitor and you want to explore local Trinidad food, this is the right place. I would like to thank the owner of Veni Mange for creating this wonderful place to dine, it will forever be nostalgic to me.

We had a wonderful time here! One of the highlights of our trip. Dale and the staff were very welcoming and the food was phenomenal. Make sure you try the oxtail and the pig feet!

Haven't been here? What are you waiting for! This is single handedly the only local restaurant worth going to get that authentic Trinidadian food, everything else is mainly street food In Port of Spain.

Amazing food! It hit de spot! The bhaji is the best I've eaten.

I read so many good things about the place, but unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations after having read all those reviews. Food is basic, a little bland. The corn soup tasted more like yams soup. Poeple were very friendly and happy to help.

This must be my 3rd or 4th visit to this beautiful established restaurant on Ariapita Avenue the hub of the nightlife of Port of Spain ☺️ The food is always delicious and plentiful 😋and that's what makes it a staple, stable, inviting place in the country. The decor is beautiful ❤️ with original paintings from local artists adorning the walls.👏💪☺️

Of all the meals I had in Port of Spain, the one I had here was my favorite. The ambiance is relaxed and unpretentious, and the people are friendly abs helpful. I had fried shark, stewed pork, and... I'm not sure I remember the desserts because we were sampling rum by that point. Would definitely return.

The experience was a letdown from start to finish. This spot sits on a lively strip with plenty of solid options, and we chose it because it looked slightly less busy, which turned out to be the warning we missed. Staff were curt and disengaged, bordering on rude, and service felt like an afterthought. Four cocktails took more than 40 minutes to arrive. When they finally showed up, they came in plastic cups because last call was announced after we had already ordered. The drinks were mediocre and overpriced. The bill arrived long before the cocktails. The bar was far from full, there were plenty of staff standing around, and the level of attention would be unacceptable even at a fast-food counter. Save your time and money and pick literally anywhere else on this strip; this place has earned a hard pass. TL;DR: Overpriced, mediocre drinks, dismal service. Choose another venue on the strip.

I went with a party of 12 for their pre fixe Christmas dinner. Service was great, waiters and waitresses were kind, could be a little more attentive in some instances. The alcoholic drinks were good, but one person ordered the passion fruit juice and it tasted like flavoured water. The sorrel spritzer that came with the menu, also was also water down. Couldn’t taste the sorrel nor the alcohol that was in it, too much ice. The food was okay, to start I had the salad which tasted great with the candied dates and walnuts but the other appetizers like the chicken liver pate - did not taste anything like liver and the green pea lentil soup - was too thick and a bit cold when served. The main that I had was the brown sugar glazed ham and potatoes au gratin with vegetables. Ham and potatoes were perfect but the veggies were very undercooked, including the zucchini, broccolini and peppers - maybe this was the idea for it but it didn’t pair well with the other items on the plate. Dessert was as expected, perfect end of the dinner. I got the chocolate mousse with buttercream. (I think it was butter scotch? I can’t remember) I also had an amaretto sour which was mixed well, drank that throughout my meal. 8/10 recommend for the Christmas menu, cannot comment on their regular menu items.

Talk about up to the times with the decor! Chaud Cafe had the scene set for the holiday with themed drinks and menu items to match. Even the washrooms, pristine and ckassy, were a vibe. Staff were so eager to please there were a few crossed lines but ultimately sorted quickly. We weren't able to enjoy the wide outside deck but they even maneuvered the inside space, made cosy due to rainy weather and a healthy number of diners. I loved that the menu was full of Caribbean flavours and favs and dishes did not take forever to arrive. A lottle pricy but altogether a lovely experience.

The food at Chaud is always amazing, and the portion sizes are more than adequate. I would highly recommend the pasta as well as the wings, which paired superbly with the blue cheese. There is also a decent drinks selection. However, desserts are a bit limited.

Celebrated my friends bday here. Our entrees were plentiful & delicious. A few times, we had to get the attention of the wait staff or make a request for the same thing more than once. Overall, I would definitely recommend it.

Friendly (but slow) service and good ambience. However, almost everyone's food arrived cold and everything tasted average. The chocolate cake is supposed to be excellent, but it wasn't available that day.

On Saturdays they have brunch till 3pm which is a totally different menu not very vegetarian🌱🍄🍎 friendly. Tasty food🍝🍳🍴🍷 and great service always loved here🌝🌝! One thing is the restroom🚻 is located outside on the end of the building😓 so if its raining💧 (like it was for me😔) they have umbrellas☂ at hand. Yay

It's been too long overdue since I was meant to write this so here goes. Buzo has never actually let me down. It is the one Italian restaurant in Trinidad that culminates both strong and subtle flavors. When I lived in Trinidad it would be a once a month minimum takeout or go to restaurant as their mushroom pastas, pizzas in addition to even their steak was always exceptionally crafted and delicious. Highly recommend trying the Vigna pizza which cheerfully balances the blue cheese flavor profile with grape and their original Buzo pizza as well. Can't wait to visit again!

Went for my mother’s birthday. My parents and fiancé had the steak and it was the best steak they’ve had locally. I myself am vegetarian and had the tempura portobello mushrooms which were amazing and the ravioli which was so rich. Our waitress was most accommodating, friendly and service on point. The infrastructure itself is modern/rustic and so beautiful.

Highest Quality steak. Excellent service. We visited for my husband's birthday and from the moment we entered to the time that we exited everything was excellent. Our host was great he pared our meal with the finest wine. It was not busy since it was a Tuesday after work. I recommend their souffle this is a must. We had a great time and the staff are very attentive.

The Best Italian Cuisine in Port of Spain! This is, without a doubt, my favorite restaurant in Port of Spain! The food is consistently outstanding, especially their pastas and pizzas. One standout dish is their pasta with mushrooms and cream—it’s rich, and flavour! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it ideal for various occasions, whether it’s a romantic dinner, a casual outing with colleagues, or a special celebration. While the restaurant is on the pricier side, the quality of the food and the overall experience make it well worth the splurge. Recommendation: The service, although friendly and professional, can be a bit slow at times. If they could streamline this, it would elevate the dining experience even further. Pro tip: Make a reservation to secure your spot, especially during peak hours, as it’s a popular choice for both locals and visitors. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with a touch of sophistication, this is the place to be!

Buzo is fine dining. The staff is so polite and well-trained. The food is delicious. However, no matter how many dishes I try, my favorite is the Buzo pizza. Im not sure if its their signature dish, but WOW. It's a flat dough pizza without tomato paste, yet smothered in goat cheese and argula leaves. I can eat the whole thing. Lol. The staff actually listens to your needs and can cater to fussy teenagers. One of mine wanted Chicken Alfredo, which was not on the menu, and the chef prepared it. That's great service. I will definitely go back. And I recommend Buzo to everyone who wants a great food experience. Ohhhhh I forgot their desserts. We tried Gelato and affogato. Decadent 🍧🍨🍦🍦

Had my birthday dinner at this restaurant on Saturday night. The food was good, but not amazing. Beautiful ambiance, very friendly and engaging staff.

Visiting Trinidad and made a reservation for a friend's birthday and was not disappointed. The service and food were incredible. Would definitely go again.
