The history of soup is probably as old as the history of cooking. The act of combining various ingredients in a large pot to create a nutritious, filling, easily digested and simple to make food. This type of preparation made it the perfect choice for both sedentary and traveling cultures, rich and poor, healthy people and invalids. Soup has evolved according to local in-gredients and tastes. Rich, hearty and delicious soups are a major part of Creole cooking - and each island has its own unique dishes. Tasting soup here on Tobago is like tasting a piece of the island's heritage, where the flavours can be traced back hundreds of years.

In Trinidad and Tobago, soup was the traditional Saturday lunch, where everything in the ice box was brought together to make a nutritent rich meal for families. It meant the ice box was empty, ready to restock at the market on a Sunday. It is still a firm favourite today both with locals and visitors. Tobago has developed its own special soups. Chief among these are calla-lo,corn, pigtail, cow heel and fish broth.

For the best soup on Tobago made with only the freshest and finest TnT ingredients and cooked how yuh want visit, De Boss Ah Soup at Stumpy's Compound in Canaan, Tobago or if in Trinidad at 48 Tragarete Road, Port of Spain - there are many imitators out there but re-member if its not de Boss is not de Bess.

Soup Every Day...the way the locals love 'em...

Marcia's Diner

Authentic Tobago Cuisine

Marcia's mother Carmen Potts was the major influence in her culinary career, passing down her passion for cooking and whilst still a girl, Marcia was continuously trying out little delights such as coconut

tarts, coconut ices and the local Mauby Bark drink.

Instinctively Marcia knew that her destiny was to open her own Restaurant and at the youthful age of 24 she established Marcia's Diner. For the past 28 years and counting it has been located on Store Bay Local Road in Bon Accord.

Since its inception in 1983, Marcia has stayed true to her calling, expressing her natural God given talents by creating exceptionally well balanced, aesthetically-pleasing and enticing local cuisine. Some of her authentic dishes are Sunday Style Stewed Chicken, Lobster Tobago Style, Cedros Jumbo Shrimp and Tobago's Crab & Dumplings.

Marcia's is a family business and over the years Marcia has extended her trade to include catering for family occasions like Weddings and Anniversaries as well as at special events for some of Tobago's large corporate businesses and governmental departments.

However, let us whet your appetite with one of Marcia's specialities: - her famous Cassava Pudding, made from the grated root vegetable and baked with dried fruit and spices, is a favourite which brings back many visitors who all say that if you are looking for the BEST local cuisine in Tobago, Marcia's Diner is the place ………………….

But don't just take our word for it, come visit and dine with us and don't forget to try our famous Cassava Pudding for dessert. Enjoy!!
