Adventurous travelers know that no two vacations will ever be exactly alike. Some people will prefer a tranquil stay by the ocean while others are eager to immerse themselves in local culture. Fortunately, the dining options in Barbados can accommodate both the footloose and the formal vacationer.
Laid-back diners will enjoy nighttime vendors who line both sides of streets and serve local favorites such as grilled pigtail, fried kingfish, pepper-pot, and conch fritters. These informal booths allow visitors to eat while they stroll the streets and beaches. Vendors are also a good way for the hesitant eater to pick and choose among the unusual dishes without making too heavy a dining commitment.
Fast food is even available on the island but with innovative interpretations. The traditional hamburger or pizza may be accompanied by Bajan menu items. Meals at fast food restaurants and street stands cost approximately $5(USD) to $8(USD) per person.
After a long day of swimming and enjoying the Barbados sun, many vacationers opt for a more lively restaurant experience, complete with renowned Bajan hospitality. Dining at a mid-priced restaurant that features both Bajan specialties as well as international cuisine will cost approximately $10(USD) to $25(USD) per person.
Upscale restaurants that showcase the world-class chefs of Barbados offer traditional gourmet menu items, such as caviar and pâté, as well as exotic local dishes and regional catches. Expect to pay about $25(USD) per person at a posh restaurant for an evening meal.
It's also important to remember that Barbados is an island where appearances count. Restaurants are more relaxed at lunchtime, but can be far more formal after the sun sets on these Caribbean eateries. Dinner reservations are also recommended, particularly when eating at some of the finer restaurants.
