5.00What more can I say about Byde Mill. Authentic bajan food, delicious and a barley lemonade to die for. This is a must for all foodies and those that want to learn a bit about the history of Barbados. An old plantation house that had a few owners and now transformed into one of the best places to eat in rural Barbados. The staff are professional and attentive with attention to detail. The owners, Renee and Kenny have created a space to ensure all have a great experience. We'll be back!!
Wonderful Experience

5.00Amazing property and grounds with rich historic tour. What imprinted most was the intimate feeling as we sat down to lunch - it seemed that we were all connected by this shared experience at Byde Mill. The menu was quite interesting with fresh juice combinations quenching and satisfying our palates. So many of the dishes were delightful and delicious - creamed yam, nicely seasoned and baked rabbit, the avocado salad... no, ALL of the dishes were fantastic! Lol But most of all, we enjoyed the friendliness of our serving team. They were cheerful and engaging, and quite humorous! It's a wonderful thing to interact with hospitality like we experienced here. We'll be back again and again, and I highly recommend!
