Barbuda - Dining

There are two restaurants in Barbuda, several snack shops and five or six bars ranging from rum shops to bars with TV and pool tables. Most of them cater for local people's needs as few guests from the hotels
frequent them, although those who do enjoy their lively, friendly atmosphere. The best way to buy local food is to go out to a Food Fair or a Fish Fry at the weekend. There are always people barbecuing on the street and the fish is always fresh from the sea. Local specialities at food fairs include deer meat, land turtle, lobster, crab, conch, local beef and lamb or goat, with side dishes of rice, fungi or dumplings. Local drinks include soursop, ginger beer, sea moss and tamarind juices.
