Memories are made as we gather our loved ones and friends around a holiday table to share a meal and each other’s company.
In Barbados , the travel experience includes some truly special meal-time moments to treasure forever. You’re on holiday so try everything – locally caught fish, home-grown grass-fed meats, sweet plantains, rice and peas, tasty West Indian curries, and rotis. Explore all that delicious Caribbean cuisine has to offer.
Wake up to a Barbados menu of freshly prepared tropic fruits and juices, omelets with your choice of filling, and delicious homemade breads and pastries. Lunch and dinner can be as formal or as laid-back as you like. On this small island, there are amazing restaurants and cafés to suit every need, serving familiar international dishes and Caribbean food . Staggeringly beautiful top-notch restaurants perched on clifftops above the sea include The Cliff, Cin Cin, and The Animal Flower Cave Restaurant. Beachfront shacks where the dress code is swimsuits and bare feet include Bombas, Bo’s Plaice, and JuJus.
Great food in Barbados is also served in fine hotel dining rooms and waterside restaurants, bijou cafés tucked away in shaded shopping malls, and of course Barbados’ famous rum shops and outdoor pop-up caterers – pick the one with the longest queue (the locals know who cooks the best!). Also for those “need-it-now” moments, kids and snackers will find food served island-wide 24-hours a day.
A Bajan Foodie Weekend
It is no secret that there is generally an extra special “something” in the taste of Caribbean food, but in Barbados, the culinary experience is truly like no other. Bajans are foodies at heart, with traditional dishes eaten on specific days. Fridays are fish, Saturdays are for souse, and on Sundays, there is an expansive after church spread. Food is a big part of Barbados culture, and although many types of international and Caribbean cuisine has been welcomed to the island, Barbadian food will always have a special place in everyone’s hearts. Any day is a great day for a meal in Barbados but if you only have a weekend to spare Barbados is still one of the best culinary destinations to dine and enjoy.
