This place serves the best fish sandwich on island and is unfortunately underrated. The food is the best value and is not your typical fast food, it’s all made point of order and grilled. This is an unpretentious place to have a good meal at a reasonable price. It’s been around for many years, testimony to its solid reputation

Went for breakfast to celebrate my Mums birthday - was not staying at the hotel however the service and staff were absolutely brilliant. We had such a lovely time and enjoyed ourselves. The views were absolutely beautiful and the setting.The selection was nice and enjoyed the different dishes. As it was my Mums birthday they gave a cake and made it a special occasion.Would highly recommend and would visit again. Was pricey but as a special one off treat - we enjoyed it.

Zaccios

Reviewed By sjf1903

We always meant to return to this restaurant as we really enjoyed it. The location and vibe was great as were the jolly staff. Then of course there's the location... we were sat more or less right over the beach with the tide coming in. Another big plus is it's probably the most reasonably priced restaurant that we visited and it was great value for money.

SeaCat

Local style wooden chattel house with large covered back deck with seating capacity for 60 and parking at back.

Reviewed By robhare

Belying its slightly unprepossessing exterior, everything about SeaCat was great, from the friendly welcome to the lovely (and remarkably cool and comfortable) restaurant area and the fantastic food. My mahi was to die for - I nearly ordered a second one for dessert . Snapper and prawns equally raved about by the family. Reasonable-ish pricing (for Barbados at least!) and a welcome relief from the formality and stuffiness of some other “top end” establishments on the island.Looking forward to returning ASAP.Thank you for your rave review!! We look forward to your return!!

We went to The Mews for date night. It’s a nice restaurant with a great ambience and excellent service. However, the food was mediocre in comparison to the price. My husband thought his dish was ok. Mine was overcooked and a small portion size.

Reviewed By Nidgehammer

Another recommendation, we visited on a Tuesday night when they have live music on, a couple of well practiced girls singing along initially to some cheesy older tunes and then bringing it more up to date for their second session and getting people up dancing.The food - tapas Tuesday - was pretty decent to be fair, good quality ingredients, not always authentically Spanish maybe but all very tasty nonetheless. A special mention for the pork tenderloin kebabs but I’m afraid the fries were very average.We had an issue where they couldn’t get my credit card to authorise which held us up for about half an hour at the end. I felt that there was concern that it was my fault or my card that was the problem as it was apparently knocked back and I didn’t quite have enough cash. They somehow managed to eventually get it to accept and gave us a free drink for our trouble which was the right thing to do in the circumstances.Would we recommend, absolutely yes - you eat outside and the space looks good with lots of fairy lights and fauna, all the staff were friendly and quick to top up both tap water and refresh our drinks.Hello thank you for your Review and your great comments about the service etc , I will pass onto the team and look forward to seeing you again .As we said on Tuesday evening The issue was not the restaurant or your card , but a problem between flow the provider and the bank . After both myself and staff had a very frustrating evening I called for the numerous time that evening to be told they had a fix. I was then taken through a process on the machine that enabled us to have full communication to be returned . This issue was not just related to ourselves but much of the business on island . Thankfully all has been good since . Enjoy the rest of your holiday

The Tides

Tides would be #1 or close of all the restaurants in Barbados. They do a super job with literally everything from decor, location on the beach, well trained and attentive staff and excellent food, obviously this is not a cheap evening but is certainly worth the cost.The art display is also quite special.

Stunning setting with excellent food. Book early if you would like a rail side table. The waterside views are great especially with the lit water and fire torches and lanterns. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The food was delicious especially the potato gnocchi and Cajun swordfish. Really memorable evening.
