We didn't eat here but did stop for drinks. The place filled up and there wasn't an empty seat. Lots of food being served and lots of smiling faces. More

Expensive but terrific coffee, and lovely manageress who lent me some scissors to cut a sticking plaster, then remembered to ask me how I was, when leaving. Very pleasant to sit by the fishing boats and see the catches being brought back. More

With its ideal location the Waterfront Cafe could be a tourist trap, priced and serviced accordingly. Instead, whilst not cheap, it's certainly better value than many upper-end establishments in Barbados.

One of the better meals we had in Barbados was in the Waterfront cafe. We secured an outside table and had a meal of fried flying fish sandwiches served with an amazing hot sauce (if you go to Barbados you simply must try it) and a couple of Banks beers. Total meal was just over $60 bds which wasn't too... More

We went here for lunch while we visited Bridgetown on our first day of our honeymoon in Barbados. We were lucky enough to get a table outside, and both had the Flying Fish and Cou Cou -- delicious!!! We were, however, frustrated with the slow service we received. At the end of our meal, we asked the server to bring... More
