Barbados

One of the things that sold us on Barbados was the food description in Lonely Planet. Barbados did not disappoint! Added bonuses were you could drink the tap water and neither of us got sick! And that we found a $450 flight on Air Canada!

Some scenery shots first, then the food. Our beach at the Coconut Court on the South Coast.
Typical East Coast with cool rocks in the Ocean

Oistins Fish Fry was fantastic. On Friday nights (and Sat too a bit), locals and tourists gather by the fish market for a fry and party.

You must wash the fish down with the local Banks.
Flying fish with rice and beans, salad and macaroni pie. Mmmm...


And a slightly different take - flying fish with coleslaw and roast potatoes. With a banks beer of course.
2 Barbados = $1 US so this is a pretty good deal for $10!

Business people in Bridgetown go to Brown Sugar for buffet lunch. This was a great open air restaurant.
Rice & beans, flying fish, bbq chicken, greens, spinach fritter, candied potato, roast pork....Desserts where tasty - bread pudding with currants and rum sauce!
Waterfront Cafe in Bridgetown - good location and good food! Flying fish with cou-cou (cornmeal/okra dumpling I think).

Ian has a flying fish sandwich.And our favorite of the island was Pisces in St. Lawrence Gap. It was not cheap though as both times we went, we ended up averaging about $100 US for 2.

Flying fish with rice

Tasty bread pudding with ice cream

All over the island there are a bunch of rum huts that also serve simple food for cheap.
Bridgetown Farmers Markets:


Fish Markets are serious business in Barbados

And finally how can you go wrong with cheap and tasty fast food roti from Papa Johns. It's literally as big as your face for about $ 5 US I think.
