Barbados has a wide range of dining options. Most of the restaurants are located along the West and South Coasts, but there are a few ones of note on the rugged East Coast. The best restaurants are truly world class. Many restaurants are located overlooking the sea. The priciest restaurants are to be found on the West Coast and their settings are truly outstanding.
You can also choose to eat from the more casual settings ranging between bistros, Bajan buffets, grills, cafés, beachside restaurants and sports bars. Fast-food outlets provide all the usual choices as well as local favourites. The 'fish fry' in Oistins in the South and Speightstown in the North are good ways to sample local food in an informal local setting. Flying fish 'cutters' are always on sale and are very Bajan. These events are well attended by locals and visitors alike.
Here are a few to watch out for ...
