Barbados Restaurant & Dining Reviews Reviews
The Restaurant at Southsea 09/01/2004
Reviewers Rating:  Excellent
This was a fantastic new find this trip –Definitely a restaurant to be included on your “must-do” list in Barbados. Southsea is a fantastic restaurant that opened in November 2003 and already has been chosen as the Restaurant of the Year for 2004. It was also selected by the Conde Nast Traveler 'Hot Tables' as one of the best new restaurants in the world in 2004.
It is located in The St. Lawrence Gap on the water side of the street. They have a stunning veranda, accented by a distinctive undulating blue awning and a beautifully landscaped gardens that overlook a romantic secluded cove. The owner, Alfred Taylor gave us a tour of the entire operation and we were very impressed. The traditional home has been transformed with elegantly modern interiors. They have an exceptional wine and brandy selection, along with the Caribbean's most extensive vintage rum collection.
But what makes Southsea really special is Chef Barry Taylor's imaginatively conceived food - the menu is really unique. There were 6 of us who sampled unique starters such as grilled kangaroo, lobster tortellini and ostrich fillets, and an equally unique, gourmet menu of mains – all very delicious. They light up the sea 400 yards and the seating area is elegant. This restaurant rivals west coast ambience and food. The service here this time was better than service at The Cliff’s and they are more reasonably priced (about $55 US per person). We liked it so much we went there twice during our recent trip.
