Y
ou may already know
that Bridgetown and it’s
Garrison have recently
been named a UNESCO world
heritage site; with boundless
architectural and cultural
splendor, shopping and tours
just waiting to be experienced.
Sounds and sights are all part
of the Bridgetown scene, but
the city of Bridgetown also has
a smell. Yes! A smell! An oh so
important smell that enters
your nostrils and vibrates
down your throat to make your
tummy grumble with delight.
Traditional island dishes,
Italian, fast food, Bajan
buffet, Bajan cutters, and
alfresco dining can all be
found in Bridgetown and the
surrounding environs.
68 | Caribbean Dreams
Ideal Restaurant
Ask a Bajan where to eat in
Bridgetown and one common
suggestion is likely to be the
Ideal Restaurant, top floor, Cave
Shepherd. Bajan buffet style at
less than $US10 per plate.
Waterfront Café | Take a casual
walk across the bridge for a la carte,
alfresco dining at the Waterfront Café;
and for a treat on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evenings there are Jazz sessions
that go until 11pm.
Chicken Barn | A personal fast
food favorite of mine is Chicken Barn;
their slogan “Home of the heavenly
chicken” says it all. Who knew that the
combination of great Bajan seasonings
and rotisserie chicken could be oh so
good!
