The Village Bar at Lemon Arbour

$ Fodor's choice

Commonly known as Lemon Arbour, this is the place to be on a Saturday afternoon, as Bajans from all walks of life descend on this family-run restaurant and bar overlooking the countryside. Try some pudding and souse—a local dish combining steamed sweet potato (the pudding) and pickled pork (souse)—it tastes better than it sounds! There are a variety of other dishes available as well, including fried pork, baked chicken, and macaroni pie.

Plan a fun afternoon with a group of friends, but if you're on your own, you're likely to be invited to join a table of locals.
