Food in Barbados

Barbados sits at the eastern edge of the Caribbean, where the Atlantic Ocean, sugarcane fields, coral limestone, and steady trade winds have shaped a cuisine that is bright, hearty and deeply seasoned. Traditional Bajan cuisine blends African, Indian, British, Irish, and Indigenous influences into vibrant, highly seasoned dishes, and Barbados's national dish is cou-cou paired with flying fish, typically accompanied by spicy gravy.
