With years of travelling to Barbados under our belts, the Tropic Breeze team are clued up on where to eat in Barbados and particularity what to order! Our blog is designed to give you inspiration and local knowledge.
A range of cuisine is available on the island of Barbados with an emphasis on fresh local seafood served with friendly faces and against beautiful back drops. The varying coasts of Barbados offer different cuisine with the rugged east coast focussing on more traditional Bajan cuisine while other coasts give more of a balance between fine dining, beach bars and local cuisine.
Our first choice is a favourite with the whole Tropic Breeze team- The Fishpot restaurant , connected to Little Good Harbour Hotel, is set directly on the waters edge with breathtaking views, fantastic local produce and friendly service; a favourite with many visitors to Barbados. Available for both casual lunches and candle lit dinner’s ( although we recommend getting there for a sunset drink!) the Fishpot offer guests anything from fresh Caribbean lobster to rosemary roasted pork loin. Our suggestion is the daytime seafood platter for two with a cold glass of white. You can’t beat it…
The laid back culture of Barbados creates the perfect environment for some seriously good beach bars. On a trip back in July, Tropic Breeze’s founder Jo, discovered L’Attitude- A funky new beach bar complete with a BBQ grill, one of the largest wall art pieces and a selection of killer cocktails. Make sure you try the seared octopus- divine!
Colony Club is an elegant yet informal hotel, located just 20 minutes north of Bridgetown, which is well known for it’s great diversity of food from their Bajan fish grill to their lobster and jazz evening! Their beach front or open air dining options allow guests to enjoy the beach setting combined with seven acres of tropical gardens. We can personally recommend the seared tuna and avocado salad.
Located in Bathsheba, on the natural east coast sits the Historic Round House Inn Restaurant- Serving up a range of traditional Bajan dishes. Jo’s choice is to start with the flying fish pate before tucking into the rum baked brie- using the classic Caribbean rum to take cheese to a whole new level! A really unique dish but well worth stopping in for after a busy day of exploring the east coast.
A trip to Barbados would not be complete without stopping at a local rum shop and indulging in a flying fish cutter ( sandwich). The freshest fish, lightly fried and served with hot bajan sauce- You can’t get any more traditional than that!
Oistin’s fish fry nights are a huge gathering on the Island of Barbados with bajan’s and tourists partying the night away together! Our recommendation is to visit on a Friday night to see it in full swing. Large BBQ’s serving up traditional bajan food while bars serve local rum punch- A real experience that should not be missed.
Barbados is home to a whole range of dining settings and cuisines, ask around and both the locals, the hotel concierge and the Tropic Breeze team will be happy to recommend a lists of must try places.
