The Cliff
A top-end restaurant on the coral cliffs by the sea in St. James on the west coast, with multi-level terraces and torch lighting. It is one of the island's best-known and most expensive celebration restaurants.
The Cliff sits at Derricks in St. James, built into a waterside rock face. At night the terraces are lit with torches, with waves just below. Dinner is a fixed-price two- or three-course menu per person; some dishes cost extra, and a 12.5% service charge applies. On the last Sunday of each month there is a lunch for 250 Barbados dollars per adult. Frequently mentioned dishes include scallops, Dover sole with caper butter, beef Wellington, foie gras, banana soufflé and crêpes Suzette. The restaurant received a 2025 TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice award. Most diners praise the views and service, but the main criticism is that prices are clearly higher than at other top restaurants on the island. Reservations are essential. It's about a 20-minute drive north of Bridgetown.
