La Cabane is a fabulous ‘feet in the sand’ beach bar restaurant. It is located at Batts Rock on the west coast. The menu is written on a surf board and consists of a small selection of dishes made from fresh local organic ingredients. These are cooked Mediterranean style. Fresh fish, barbequed chicken, steak and pork and a selection of tasty salads. There is music playing and a fun laid back vibe. The mixologists offer a wide selection of cocktails. Perfect for sunset. Try the bean bag sofas on the sand or the swings at the bar. There is even a hammock on the beach. Sit in a comfy director’s chair at your table and just relax and enjoy the ambience and the fresh produce. This is a fabulous way to spend a Sunday or any lunch. Also good for a laid back dinner. Hard to find a better low key beach bar restaurant in Barbados. Highly recommended.

This is one of the most popular restaurants on the west coast of Barbados for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We love it and in our view the setting takes some beating. It has a cool yet quite informal atmosphere and the entrance and vista as you walk down the vast staircase is breath taking. We particularly enjoy lunch at Lone Star gazing out over the turquoise waters and some lunches have even ended with cocktails whilst we have watched the sun go down. It really is such a special spot. The service is sometimes erratic but the food and the general ambiance and feel of Lone Star is unique. Although it has white table cloths the feel in Lone Star is less formal than Tides and the décor more Caribbean chic that Cin Cin. You also feel like you are eating right on the beach. The menu is not extensive but it has something for everyone.

Sea shed is a fairly new restaurant and bar located on the lovely Mullins beach in St. Peter. Boasting a chic yet laissez-faire beach vibe, Sea Shed is a welcome addition to the west coast scene. It's quickly become a local and visitor favorite with their tasty cocktails and delicious food by Chef Jeremy Dupire. Fresh and local ingredients are used to create their meals with the menus being changed to reflect what was sourced from the sea a few steps away. Spend your days lounging on the beach sipping on the drink of your choice with an amazing view.

The Fishpot restaurant at Little Good Harbour is a real find. Set in a beautiful, historic colonial style building, it has a more rustic, cosy feel to it than many of its beachfront competitors and is right on the water. The waves lap beneath the deck where you are sitting. Located north of Speightstown, and about 15 minutes’ drive north of Holetown it really is worth the trip. The menu is quite extensive and do not be fooled by its name. There are lots of choices on the menu other than fish dishes. Fishpot is generally open at the weekends for lunch as well as dinner. The food is fresh and wonderfully presented and the service is excellent. You can dine inside with views through the coral stone windows over the water or on the decked terrace outside.

The flavours of Amalfi and Napoli arrive in Barbados. Antonio Mellino is the Executive chef at Quattro Passi.

Bringing the flavours of the Campania region, Napoli and Southern Italy to Barbados, it will offer signature dishes with the finest, fresh ingredients.

Mellino's food philosophy is innovative but respects tradition and seasonality. This approach to his signature dishes - such as one that combines linguini with zucchini and zucchini flowers with basil and black pepper perfected over 10 years - earned Quattro Passi its Michelin stars.

The team will also be importing the best ingredients, shellfish from Italy, beef from the UK; the champagne will be imported insulated and chilled, so the temperature is always correct. "I absolutely love the energy of Barbados, and I am telling all of my regular clientele to meet me there. I couldn't be more excited to open this unbelievable Quattro Passi in Barbados. We will make this the best restaurant in the world, on the best island, Barbados."
To reflect the food philosophy the interior design plans are an exquisite mix of Moroccan and Italian decor. Quattro Passi will feature a cigar bar, a lounge, private dining areas, all with tables overlooking the ocean. Next door to the fine dining of Quattro Passi will be QP Bistro. This will have an all-day, 7:30 am-2:00 am, bistro menu, a large Italian pizza oven, homemade soft-serve ice cream and young, vibrant energy.

Whilst it is fun to enjoy the wonderful upmarket food and setting of the restaurants above, sometimes it is just as fun to enjoy a more low key local experience. If you are looking for that sort of experience and don't know where to eat in Barbados we recommend:
Bombas Beach Bar at Mullins. A small, simple chattel house restaurant on the beach. Simple fresh food including chicken and fish with a new vegetarian option every day. Service can be slow so only go if you are not in a hurry and want a local experience in a sea front setting. See Tripadvisor reviews.
Ju Ju’s near Lone Star. Popular, scruffy laid back beach bar on the water. Food can be good (but not always)-service is hit and miss but the location is wonderful and it is fun and feels very local. See Tripadvisor reviews.
Lemon Grass in Lime Grove shopping centre, Holetown. It serves extremely tasty and reasonably priced Thai food. See Tripadvisor reviews.
Mullins Beach Bar at Mullins. A fun, lively place right on the beach. Great for kids. Relaxed atmosphere with great views of the sea and reasonable prices. Ideal for laid back lunches. See Tripadvisor reviews.
Little Bristol Beach Bar in Speightown. Happy people, simple food, music and a beachfront, unpoilt and rustic ambiance.
Zaccios in Holetown. This was a favourite of our kids when they were little and it was then called Cocomos. Brightly coloured tables. Large restaurant right on the beach with a good beach bar and some tables on the water. Great for families and kids. Kids can run and play on the beach after their meal. Extensive menu with chicken, fish, pizza, rotis etc. Not too expensive. Lovely, fun spot for a sundowner. See Tripadvisor reviews.
Surfside in Holetown. A sports beach bar. Friendly staff, ok food, right on the water with sun beds available too. See Tripadvisor reviews.
Spago on Second Street in Holetown. Small, friendly Italian style restaurant offering delicious food at reasonable prices. Nothing fancy. Best to try to get a table on the small terrace so you can watch the world go by. See Tripadvisor reviews.
Jumas, Speightstown. Lovely setting overlooking the beach. Good for lunch and dinner. Simple local food including pumpkin soup and rotis. Mixed reviews. Romantic setting in the evening with lava lamps lighting up the beach. See Tripadvisor reviews.
Oistins Fish Fry, Christchurch. See Tripadvisor reviews.
The Roti Den, Paynes Bay. We think these are the best rotis in Barbados but you generally have to take away. Not much room to sit. See Tripadvisor reviews.
Cutters on the East Coast near the Crane Hotel. If you are heading over to the east coast stop by at Cutters. A rustic chattel house with amazing home cooked food including pizza and macaroni pie. Best rum punch on the island. Service can be a little slow but we think it is worth the wait. They will even do pizzas to go to take down to Crane beach or to have delivered to you on Crane beach. See Tripadvisor reviews.
The Atlantis, St Joseph. A great place to spend a Sunday when they do the Caribbean fixed price buffet. A huge array of local dishes. We particularly enjoy the fishpot. Rustic setting with wonderful views of the east coast waves crashing in.
