A colorful menu features wraps, pittas and rotis for a substantial and proper Barbados meal prepared by a talented kitchen staff. Highlights include the traditional dish of curried vegetable roti.

Afternoon tea is huge in Barbados, deriving from the island’s history under British rule. A pot of English tea at the Sunbury Plantation will transport you back in time with its decor that harks back to a bygone era. Sunbury was built over 300 years ago and was once a thriving plantation. Today the house and grounds have been carefully restored and include an excellent collection of antiques and vintage horse drawn carriages for visitors to admire. The tea is served al fresco in the Courtyard Restaurant, and is the perfect setting for friendly groups and family outings.
