National Heroes: Bussa

  • Marco Polo Barbados
    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 less oily and fatty. Their fish is clean and fresh, their mac pie is as good [...]
  • Blakey's Barbados
    Blakey’s encapsulates the feeling of South Coast Barbados. That mix of everything at the same time in its own space. There’s the indoors bit, there’s the large terrace, there’s a good menu of international dishes and some pretty specialist-Bajan too. The drinks are good, the TVs at the bar are [...]
  • Harbour Lights Barbados
    Harbour Lights is known for its open bar on Fridays. You pay $60 at the door and the magic begins. One thing we loved about the open bar (except the obvious) was the fact that no one was fumbling for cash, credit cards or change which meant that the bar service moved so [...]
  • 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 [...]
  • The Good Life Barbados
    This is one of the only vegan restaurant on the island… Not vegetarian, vegan. No feta in that salad! But they do serve the staple alcohols so all is not lost. In fact they have one of the best smoothies in Barbados and they do a pretty good Sunday brunch too. Their salads are [...]

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 […]

Lemon Arbour Barbados

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. […]

Sea Cat Barbados

Sea Cat

If you haven’t been to Sea Cat then you’ve probably heard that it’s a rum shop deluxe, and that’s exactly what it is. The fish is great and the menu is broken down so easily. Depending […]

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: […]

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 […]

Pizza at Drift

Every Friday and Saturday, Gianluca will be cooking up pizzas in his portable oven at Drift. Good question. Gianluca is the guy who was running the kitchen at Timothy Oulton so if you were wondering what happened […]

Nishi Barbados
Food & Drink

Nishi

❤❤❤❤🖤 | $$$$$ Definitely one of the best restaurants on the island, we loved that they concentrated on making their sushi taste amazing. Sounds obvious doesn’t it?  We thought so too but so many restaurants […]

Daphne's Barbados
Food & Drink

Daphne’s

❤❤❤❤🖤 | $$$$$ Let’s not beat around the bush, Daphne’s of London is an Italian restaurant and so is Daphne’s of Barbados. The Tagliata is a Tuna Tagliata reflecting on the fact that if there […]

Scarlet Barbados

Scarlet

❤❤❤❤❤ | $$$$$ It’s the reddest place on Earth. For some reason Scarlet’s reputation is super strong but not necessarily very wide and that’s a shame because more people should know that they do well. […]
