Your Ultimate Guide To Barbados

Bajan Breeze Restaurant & Bar

As is the general custom in Barbados, the vast majority of hotels, depending on their size, have at least one restaurant on property. The Bajan Breeze is one such example and is housed in the Divi Southwinds Hotel which is located on the St. Lawrence main road, Christ Church, Barbados.

Although on hotel property, the restaurant can be and is patronized by locals and visitors and reservations are generally required. Bajan Breeze is open for breakfast and dinner daily and there is also a special Sunday brunch every weekend unless otherwise advised by the hotel. The general opening hours are from 7:30  a.m. to 10:30 a.m. for breakfast and 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily for dinner and this presents one of the many dining options one has when visiting Barbados. Lunch is offered at another informal establishment on property called Joycelyn's.

In order to cater to its varied patrons, meals at the hotel comprise international cuisine interspersed with dishes prepared with a special Barbados. Breakfast takes a buffet format and combines fresh local and imported fruit of the widest variety with continental and all the usual morning treats such as omelettes, scrambled eggs and pancakes. A range of teas are available for your pleasure and those who need an early coffee fix will certainly not be disappointed. Should you stay at this property, take advantage of a waterfront breakfast while in Barbados, as this is an option which can be taken.

Apart from the special event themed evenings, a la carte dining is the order of the day for dinner. From appetizers to dessert, the menu items introduce food from around the globe, not neglecting the special and spicy items from Barbados and some of the other Caribbean islands. Items such as soups are made extra delectable through the use of fresh spices, so that a simple pumpkin or split pea soup is transformed to a savoury bowl of nutrition.

Like most in Barbados, this restaurant has an open and welcoming atmosphere. One can relax there and enjoy your meal or take-away if that is your preference. The bar is open daily from early morning through to 11:00 p.m. at night. Although you are on vacation, please pace yourself as the variety of drinks may be rather enticing.

In addition to appetizing food, the restaurant offers special themed nights, where live entertainment is provided for the enjoyment of its patrons. For example, on Tuesday nights there is usually a Bajan buffet and the entire focus is on local dishes from Barbados, supported by local entertainers. On Saturday nights, there is a barbeque buffet and to complement the night’s meal, there is sometimes a pianist or solo artiste to lend the appropriate ambiance. As a special Divi "gift", once a month staff of the hotel prepare, and provide an entertainment package for the restaurant and hotel patrons.

All in all, there is a little of everything to convince you to make a reservation for at least one meal at Divi Southwinds while in Barbados.
