National Heroes: Bussa

Referred to as the father of the independence of Barbados, Barrow formed the Democratic Labour Party in 1955 and won the 1961 general elections. He was the Premier of Barbados until 1966 when Barbados became an independent country and Barrow became its first Prime Minister. […]

South Coast

  • Paddle Barbados
    Paddle Barbados has got the perfect location and this is what will keep them at the top of their game. What we discovered was that beginners were able to practise, sheltered from the wind, whilst intermediate paddlers could do some touring around the Carlisle bay shipwrecks and the surfers can catch the [...]
  • Buzo Barbados
    The south coast’s freshest gossip is the opening of a new Italian and there’s no lack of talk. Aesthetically it’s modern and colourfully minimalist. Throughout the month of October the restaurant was lit in pink for Breast Cancer awareness month whilst November was all blue and yellow for Independence Day [...]
  • Trini Doubles Barbados
    If you’ve tasted some Trini Doubles before this might be no news to you but if you haven’t then perk right up again. It’s like a roti… but better… and it’s from Trinidad. You don’t have much choice for fillings but choice isn’t what you want. What you’re looking for is to eat [...]
  • Sizzle Steakhouse Sugar Bay Barbados
    ❤❤❤🖤🖤| $$$$$ Beef is a very different animal in Europe when you compare it to what you get in ‘merrrca and Sizzle is of the latter. Expect portion size to be of capital importance and BBQ sauce to follow in a close second place. The beef itself is actually quite [...]
  • Naru Barbados
    Ever since the boardwalk was built, the best thing any restaurateur could do was open up a terrace right on the edge. There is little more pleasant than watching the famous south-coast sunsets as runners jog past you with occasional waves and winks. And to be fair there are only [...]

Rum Shops

Lemon Arbour Barbados
Rum Shops

Lemon Arbour

Let’s get this out of the way now. It’s actually called The Village (and it’s in Lemon Arbour) but everyone calls it Lemon Arbour so that’s exactly what we’re going to do here. The food is insane. […]

Rum Shops

Bar 557

❤❤❤🖤🖤 | $$$$$ How many potholes does it take to force a taxi driver to open a rumshop? Well maybe it’s a coincidence but just as our roads look more like an acne-riddled-teenage face there […]

Rum Shops

Bombas

The nature of a rum shop has evolved with the rolling growth of Barbados and Bombas is a prime example. Owner Wayne is no stranger to international foods and he is not afraid to show […]

Wendy's Barbados
Rum Shops

Wendy’s

Renowned for its BBQ Friday nights, try to get your hands on some ribs before they run out. That said… Eat anything you can. It’s all amazing. Like most Barbados rum shops, Wendy’s will serve you in […]

Chicken Rita's

Chicken Rita’s

Have no illusions, Rita devised the recipe for the most ridiculous chicken on Earth and no one knows how she did it. There is no copying Chicken Rita and we have come to one final guess: […]

Marco Polo Barbados
Rum Shops

Marco Polo

Marco Polo is a rum shop run by a hands-on English couple who have brought the best of British to the best of Bajan. All of the Bajan staples are on the menu and they’re a lot […]

Santi Barbados
Beaches

Santi

It hasn’t been open long at all but Santi has definitely declared its presence in Barbados. It’s one of the better beach/restaurants on the islands with a good Euro-styled terrace and the customers to boot. It’s a great […]

The Cliff Barbados
Food & Drink

The Cliff

The Cliff’s reputation preceeds it so you can hardly find yourself dining there without preconceptions and expectations clouding your view… or palette. The basics: The view is stunning and the bar area is possibly the […]

Food & Drink

Carizma on the Hill

❤❤❤🖤🖤 | $$$$$ Carizma on the Hill is a hidden gem with a wonderfully consistent menu and service to boot. It’s in Sugar Hill which can be intimidating but, truth be told, it’s very welcoming and […]

Zaccios Barbados
Food & Drink

Zaccios

There aren’t enough places in Barbados for pizza but if it’s daytime then Zaccios is the place to go. They seem to have adopted the European formula to beach-with-a-restaurant and they did it well. Their full menu is pretty Bajan but […]
