A Taste of Paris in the Heart of Holetown – Our Visit to Derrière French Brasserie

by Mark Hammerton

This past Saturday evening, Lisa and I discovered a restaurant gem tucked away in the most unexpected corner of Holetown – Derrière French Brasserie. Newly opened in Limegrove, this surprising little spot is a fresh addition to the West Coast dining scene and one I suspect will be making quite a name for itself. Nestled discreetly next to Café de Paris and not far from Clifton Market, it’s easy to overlook at first glance – but oh, what a find.

An Evening at The Tides Restaurant in Holetown, Barbados

by Mark Hammerton

If you push me to name my favourite restaurant in Barbados, I would give it just a few moments consideration and then reaffirm my loyalty to The Tides in Holetown. The Tides was one of the first fine dining restaurants we visited on the island and over the years, as other restaurants have gone in and out of favour, The Tides has remained consistently brilliant.

Sunday Lunch at Lancaster Great House, Barbados

by Mark Hammerton

The choice of Sunday lunch venues is wide and there are many popular beachfront options which are rightly popular. Lunch at the Lone Star or The Cliff Beach Club is certainly special with wonderful views to accompany your roast pork or fresh catch of the day. But there is another Sunday lunch option which we thoroughly recommend for a completely different dining experience with wide selection of splendid food and an even larger helping of old Barbados on the side: Sunday lunch at Lancaster Great House.
