Fisherman's Pub Speightstown, Barbados

Good old fashioned Bajan cooking. Spent $63 (Barbados) for four. Fish cakes, flying fish, rice and peas, plantain, fried chicken, that's what we had. There was a lot on offer. Excellent value for money. I think the fish cakes would have been even better if they were served as soon as made - however it is buffet service after all!

Best Tomato Soup Ever - Hofbraeu Haus
