Beautifully prepared food in the most breathtaking location ever, on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Make a reservation for sunset! My husband and I both agree this was the most romantic dinner we've had over the course of our 7 years together, everything from the location, the service, the food contributed.

Favorite Dish: Loved the tuna, lamb & coconut pie

Surfside is one of Holetowns hotspots for having a beer overlooking the sea (perfect place to watch the sunset too). Surfside is pricey, even by Barbados standards, however the food is good and the atmosphere here is great.

Try the Flying Fish Burger here that comes with chips. The blackened chicken ceaser salad is also good. You can have breakfast here: toast & eggs, omelette etc. They do a chicken or beef roti and grilled cheese sandwiches - all come with chips. The 'grilled cheese' sandwiches are more like toasties rather than the american version of 'grilled cheese'. The mozzarella and tomato grilled sandwich is very good. Surfside is not that great for veggies as there is little choice, although this is faily commonplace in Holetown, but veggie's will be able to find something on the menu.

We didn't have dinner here but the menu looked fine although there were only a couple of pasta dishes as veggie options which isn't always appealing in the Carribbean heat!

Daiquiri's are good - we tried strawberry and the pineapple ones
Rum punch is also good but beware, they are VERY lethal!!!

Surfside attracts locals as well as tourists but is never really overly crowded which is quite nice. The locals are so friendly (as we found everywhere on the island) and you are likely to get chatting to some of them. The bar also shows sports during the day so you can catch up on games as you sip your beer.

Sunday nights they have a Steel band playing which is good fun and after a few rum punches, you may get dancing to the band like we did!

Favorite Dish: Meat eaters - Blackened chicken ceaser salad
Veggies - Grilled mozzarella and tomato sandwich

Awesome place that we happened across while walking around in the St. Lawrence area. We actually lucked upon it because from the street you can't really tell but almost every table in the restaurant is directly on the water (by directly on I mean two or three waves actually had drops splash within a few inches of my head, alas, none were a direct hit)!

Ambience was out of this world and excellent scenery.

Favorite Dish: Don't remember what I had but everything everyone tried was awesome. Its hard to not like the food when you're sitting on the water.

Felt really special, Staff treated us like film Stars.
A classic gitarist played live music, lights shone on the Waves of the Ocean!
My Hand bag was put on a special hook on the Table
A member of staff would escourt you to the rest room. in there was your own cotton towel, and choise of Fragrace to spray on and make you felt good!

Unheard of food! Like Alligater!
Amazing Menu list of Rum

Favorite Dish: Alligater in orange was wonderful
all food was amazing!

A taste of Mexico for a change of pace in the Gap. A happening restaurant in the evenings. Margarita headquarters for Barbados as well as good Mexican cuisine.

This place is hopping on most nights. Reservations not essential but if you see them busy earlier on in your trip it wouldn't hurt to give them a call.

Favorite Dish: On our evening at Cafe Sol I had banana daiquiris and my boyfriend opted for Banks. We shared an appetizer of taquitos which were tortillas filled w/ cream cheese and jalapenos and then deep fried. We each had Venezuelan shrimp in our respected entrees. They were a bit small in size and the portions were smallish concerning the shrimp but very tasty.

A warm greeting from the valet sets the mood for a special evening spent at the Restaurant at Southsea. The hostess gave us the option of going directly to our table or sitting at the bar for a few moments since we were early. We opted for glasses of champagne at the well lit and trendy bar area. After champagne we were escorted to our oceanside table.

Service is a bit overwhelming since there are at least 5 different people waiting on your table throughout the evening. It was a stark contrast to the mediocre service we had received at other Barbados restaurants.

The overall ambience was good although the music selection stood out as odd (1980's easy listening pop). The surf does help drown out the music a bit.

The Restaurant at Southsea is the hottest spot on the island as the buzz from being listed as one of the top 66 new restaurants "Hot Tables" by the reknowned Conde Nast Traveler.

Favorite Dish: Our food was great but nothing was the best we'd ever had although the grilled marinated conch sliver appetizer was absolutely delicious and something I cannot get a home.

The Venesuelan shrimp main course was cooked perfectly but the flavors were not standout. Not bad by any means however.

The final touch to the evening was a white chocolate and raspberry parfait presented in a cup of white chocolate. Very good.

This little place is a roadside stop in the parish of St. Michael. The eating area is picnic tables under awnings. The food was fresh and plentiful.

Favorite Dish: We had the fried flying fish and it was mild and delectible. It was served with potato salad, rice and beans, mixed salad, and macaroni pie. Bajan fare at a reasonable price.

Pisces has been around since"1972". It's a landmark on the island.They have an international menu and with a subtle West Indian influence.Also many dishes with distinct caribbean flavour.The food I found to be excellent.Try to get a table along the seawall on your right as you enter. The view is great. Prices are average compared to otherws in the area.Just as most restaurants on the island, don't be in a hurry if you want to eat and run. They take their time.

Favorite Dish: I love fish so I had the flying fish.A Barbadian favorite.
