Out & About
Traditional dishes Barbados
Bajan cuisine is bold, with influences from Africa, Portugal, Britain, India and even Ireland. Try some of the top dishes on your holiday to Barbados.
- The Barbadian national dish is a must-try. Made up of cornmeal and okra served with fried flying fish in a spicy gravy, it’s a comforting, filling meal.
- The unofficial national dish here is macaroni pie, which has cheddar cheese and added ketchup and mustard for punchy flavour.
- A classic Saturday Bajan lunch is pudding and souse. Enjoy pickled pork with steamed sweet potatoes cooked with onions, salt and pepper.
- Don’t miss cutters, the perfect beach snack. Essentially a sandwich filled with either egg, fish, cheese or ham, cutters are constructed using moreish salt bread and Bajan hot sauce.
- For dessert order conkies. This sweet cornmeal-based patty is steamed in a banana leaf and contains sweet potato and coconut.
Food and drink in Barbados
With food from around the world on offer, including its own Barbadian or Bajan cuisine, you’ll eat well on your Barbados holiday.
- An essential foodie experience in Barbados is at Oistins Friday Night Fish Fry, where party vibes and plenty of rum make for an entertaining evening out. Try fresh tuna, flying fish and more.
- You can hardly avoid trying rum here, as cocktails come laced with the stuff and distilleries abound. Visit Mount Gay, the oldest, or Foursquare for tastings and tours.
- For a refreshing tipple in the middle of the day, don’t miss a taste of mauby – an unusual drink made of mauby bark, cinnamon and aniseed.
- With its English heritage, afternoon tea is a must on your Barbados holiday. Try a sweet feast at the regal Fairmont Royal Pavilion hotel.
- While lots of the best food in Barbados comes from its beach shacks and bars, fine-dining at The Cliff is a must. Breathtaking views over the ocean are paired with fresh seafood and expertly prepared meat dishes.
