Set a bit back from the road, I initially walked past this place without realising it was a restaurant and bar. Set right on the beach, it is a spectacular setting.
I was a little early for dinner, so decided to just have a drink...and watch the sunset before dinner service began. The waiting staff were so lovely, which is what I have experienced in most places in Barbados. They handed me the menu and allowed me to order ahead, so that the moment dinner service started I would get my food immediately.
I had the fritto misto to start. The battered was light and well-seasoned and balanced very well with the tartare sauce. Raw carrots as a garnish seems to be a thing in Barbados, as I’ve seen it a few times, but I remain unconvinced of its value to the dish.
I had the chicken main. Now I normally don’t like ordering chicken in restaurants as I feel I would like something more exotic when eating out. However, I’ve had a lot of seafood since arriving in Barbados, so chicken suddenly feels exotic. This was lovely. The chicken was moist and juicy and tender and oh so yummy. Perhaps a bit too much starch on the plate for me, as I didn’t have space for desserts by the end.
The only thing that bugged me about the meal was that I was asked to give a tip despite there already being service charge added to the bill.More
