The best restaurants Speightstown

One of Speightstown's most stylish spots! Located in a beautifully renovated former warehouse, this restaurant puts the local at the center of everything, and not just the table. As a matter of fact, when you enter, it's through their little boutique that things happen, so you can take home a few gourmet souvenirs (honey, sauce, rum). From here, it's on to the "café" side of the restaurant, then on to the superb bar and terrace overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The cuisine is inventive (kasava-fried chicken, watermelon barbecue sauce), with ingredients from local and organic producers.

This pretty beach house-style bistro is one of Barbadians' favorite addresses. Right in the heart of the city, with a pretty terrace overlooking the sea, it's the ideal place for (breakfast) lunch, sunset dinner or Sunday brunch. Between a host of pizzas, healthy dishes (bowls, vegan), topped baguettes, and daily specials (we still remember a sumac-roasted squash salad) and little sweets, you'll be stuffed! Nick (and his cats) will give you a warm welcome.

A legendary address, run for 50 years by 88-year-old Clement Armstrong, a wellspring of knowledge about the history of Speightstown. Built against the wall of a former British fort (Fort Coconut), the place has grown little by little, and it's easy to see why. Right down to the decor, with its faux flowers and canopy of coconut tree-like fabric. Frequented by locals and tourists alike, the atmosphere is always lively and, above all, the typically Creole cuisine is delicious and affordable. The perfect opportunity to try your first Cou Cou!
