Local dining tips

When dining in Barbados, remember that lunchtime is a big meal on the island, with many locals opting for a 'cutters' - a light snack or sandwich. Also, keep in mind that tipping in Barbados is usually around 10-15% of the bill, although some restaurants may include a service charge. If you're looking for a truly unique dining experience, consider booking a table at The Cliff restaurant in St. James for fine dining with breathtaking sunset views over the ocean.
