A Culinary Tour of Barbados

One of the things that Barbados is very well known for is its food! From haute cuisine to street food Barbados enjoys a rich diversity of culinary treats styled with local flair. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the upcoming (October 24-27, 2019) Barbados Food & Rum Festival, which is one of the premier events on any foodie’s calendar. Visiting chefs play with local ingredients in a way that showcases their natural talents and nous in working flavour profiles to excite the palate.

While all of this is going on at the higher end of the food spectrum on the island, there is also the rum shop and food van culture which dominates local cuisine. We suggest that you hire a car and make it a point of finding out which food hotspot is close to your day’s destination. Because that surely is a thing in Barbados. Every locale has food in some way attached to it, whether it be fish cutters on Pebbles Beach, or souse in ‘the country’, fish in Martin’s Bay or the world famous Oistins Fish Fry.  For each district that you pull up to in your hired car you need to ask a local what’s good to eat and from where. It will make your island vacation one to remember and it won’t blow the budget to eat like a local. Remember that a rental car makes every holiday better!
