Turks and Caicos Food Photos

The island of Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos is a truly cultural crossroads. One of the benefits of this cross-pollination is fantastic food.

Provo is blessed a variety of restaurants and open-air lounges offering everything from classic Caribbean drinks to fusion cuisine.

To give you an idea of what to expect we have searched Instagram for what Instagram does best: beautiful pictures of food and eating out.

 

The Mojito

The mojito is a traditional Cuban highball that includes five key ingredients: white rum, sugar, lime juice, sparkling water, and mint.
