Restaurants in Barbados dont get much more swanky or sophisticated than Champers. Throw an amazing view into the mix, and youve got the perfect spot for that romantic meal with your other half. Our top tip: book ahead as tables fill up quickly, and try their special parmesan crusted barracuda.

Dont let the name fool you this is gourmet dining at its best. If youre looking for places to eat in Barbados with a little bit of extra atmosphere, then you cant do much better than this restaurant in an 18th century fort. Come for the views, stay for the pan-fried mahi-mahi.

Bistro-chic is the name of the game at the Harlequin, where you can dine on grilled specialities while listening to some mellow jazz. Pick a terrace table for under-the-stars dining for that romantic meal for two. The Harlequin Chicken is our favourite: its hot, spicy, and utterly delicious.

This should really be at the #1 spot, because if you havent been to an Oistins Fish Fry on a Friday night, you havent been to Barbados! Oistins has almost legendary status, and is without doubt one of the best restaurants in Barbados if you love insanely-fresh fish with oodles of flavour.

Relaxed and laid back, Shakers is a big favourite of ours. The beer battered flying fish is incredible, and with budget menus on offer you can eat well for just a few bucks. If you want to taste a variety of dishes, go for a Shakers Platter.

This fabulous Barbados restaurant started life as a rum shop. Its kept that laid-back vibe, and theres still plenty of rum on offer today. Check out the local lobster (when in season), the locally caught marlin, or our personal favourite, the grilled red snapper.

Café Bar Carizma opens every day from 8am for a proper Caribbean breakfast right in the middle of the Chattel Village. You’re surrounded by tropical gardens and boutiques, so this is a great spot for lunch or just a coffee and a slice of cake in between shopping sessions. There are also tapas evenings which include live acoustic music (Thursday evenings during the summer months and also on Tuesday evenings during high season).
