What is the best food you've had at a port?

Really wish I could remember the name of it now, but a little cafe in an alleyway near the town square in Ponta Delgada. The chef/owner had never left the island, learned English by watching cartoons, and delivered a top-notch tuna steak.

Also took a food tour in St. Kitts -- in the back of the art gallery, the owner's daughter baked up a dessert for us that was absolutely phenomenal. On the way back to the ship, we stopped by a street BBQ (made using a half-oil drum) that rivaled anything I've had in San Antonio.

This question sparked a lot of fun conversation!  We realized that most often in port, we are rushing to do things, and lunch is just whatever works.  Most dinners, which we make an effort to be sure are good, are onboard the ship.  Having said that, the day we wandered Tallinn, Estonia, on our Baltic cruise, we wound up having a fantastic meal at Hell Hunt Pub.  The beer was good too!

Lattitud 33 in El Valle de Guagalupe at El Cielo winery (20 miles outside of of Ensenada). While the port has some of Anthony Bourdain's favorites, local So cal folks who regularly take the short cruises to Ensenada realize quickly the port has limited offerings. 20 miles North East is the wine region of El Valle De Guadalupe and it's foodie scene, worth the excursion or chartering a driver. Lattitud 33 is ranked 5th on tripadvisor, so that means I have 4 more to try. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g150770-d5598013-Reviews-Latitud_32-Ensenada_Ensenada_Municipality_Baja_California.html

Always a wait but the peacocks that wander the property and the fresh bread bakery will distract you during your wait.
