Immerse yourself in the full range of flavours and cuisine only Barbados has to offer.

While speaking with local chefs and bartenders to create the issue you hold in your hands, we were impressed by the respect and admiration they all have for quality, home-grown produce. It is no surprise then that the common theme you’ll find in our top picks for cocktails and meals is fresh, Bajan ingredients.

Discover breadfruit and how it’s elevated on the menu at Cocktail Kitchen; the secret to Lone Star’s reimagined crab fish cakes; an ode to Bajan rum and Caribbean bitters; a menu topped with the yield from a fresh herb garden at The Sandpiper.

By choosing any of our recommendations, you’re sure to offer yourself an unforgettable experience in Barbados. Join us in following the thread of the island’s bounty, weaved into every recipe and fine dining menu featured in these pages.
