What do you get when you combine hunger, a Barbados vacation and a lemming-like attraction to a cliff? The will to live...

You're headed to The Cliff restaurant, the outdoor outpost perched upon a thrilling escarpment in Barbados' St. James district. This eatery is located on the Platinum coast of the island; read: make an effort with the wardrobe. You'll find some lofty steps hugging the coral cliff – you know, for when you arrive by yacht (definitely the cooler way to make an entrance), so it might be a good idea to catch your breath on the terrace overlooking the Caribbean sea. And because you've made a reservation early enough, you've got the best seat in the house.

 

Surrounded by art and candlelight, you're starting with any of Chef Paul Owen's dishes. We think you'd especially like the Caribbean shrimp served with a Thai green-curry coconut sauce. An impeccable wine list, excellent service and a view to, well... live for are just a few of the reasons you're dining at The Cliff. But the real treat is dessert: assorted berries in champagne jelly with chibouste crème gratin, berry compote and tuile bisquit. With a reputation as the most expensive restaurant in Barbados, a three-course meal at The Cliff could set you back a few pennies.

 

Go on. Live a little.
