Enjoy Barbados’ tropical sunshine and beachside views with these al fresco dining options.

Calma Beach Club

Located in Holetown, Calma’s beachside, menu of Bajan classics and great cocktails makes it the perfect spot for an afternoon of beachside dining. 

Lobster Alive

Lobster Alive is THE place to have lobster in Barbados. Their live lobster tank ensures you’ll have the freshest lobster possible while you enjoy live jazz and a great atmosphere. Stop by at lunchtime to hear Trotty’s Jazz steelpan or Top Line Jazz Quartet most nights.

Local & Co.

Local & Co builds their seasonal menus with ingredients sourced from local and regional farmers, foragers, and artisan producers to give you the ultimate farm to table dining experience. Make sure to check out their Market Place to see their range of house made goodies and gifts, and the Library Bar has one the best selections of rums on the island.

Drift

The perfect west coast rendezvous for lunch, dinner, sunset drinks and starlight conversations. Drift’s Tasting Menu, by Chef Paul Owens is the perfect compliment to an evening with sunset cocktails.

Blakey’s on Boardwalk

Located along the Hastings boardwalk, Blakey’s is a casual spot with a lively atmosphere. They have live entertainment most nights and a menu featuring local favourites. Blakey’s is the perfect spot to relax with friends and family on the weekend.

Champers

Champers is a local favorite set right at the water’s edge. Using high quality local produce and Bajan-caught fish, Champers is renowned for its great food, complemented by their outstanding service. Make sure to pay a visit to their art gallery to see work from local artists on display.

Castaways

Right at the entrance of St Lawrence Gap, Castaways has absolutely stunning views of the sunset of St Lawrence Bay. Their menu features a wide range of both local and international cuisine, ranging from fresh catch-of-the-day to slow-roasted lamb shank. A trip to Castaways isn’t complete without one of their sours, with a different sour on special every night of the week.
