• Caribbean • Saint Philip
Booked 5 times today
Built in the 1800 as a very modest Bajan home, Dis Ole House is now living its best life hosting people to take part in our wonderful island’s culinary flavors. We offer a very stark contrast to the much grander Sam Lord's Castle at whose gates we are neatly nestled. We provoke curiosity and experiences where little touches like our enamel tableware will make any Bajan smile with yesteryear nostalgia. The area itself is nostalgic; Sam Lord himself must have roamed here, right? We’re proud promoters of all “tings” Bajan, celebrating our ancestors, history, and culture. Come drink a rum punch (or two--who are we to judge?) and try our very traditional dishes: cutters, fish cakes, roast breadfruit, or our national dish, Cou Cou & Flying Fish. We boast as a seafood lover's paradise, Lobster, Conch, Sea Cat (octopus), and Sea Egg (seasonal) are all among our fresh local offerings, grilled, pickled, and blacken the Bajan way.

    We went for a wonderful lunch here (end of April) - seated in the beautiful garden. We had a wonderful time and it was close to the top of our dining out experiences in Barbados (2 week trip) ... we loved the food, the drinks (cocktails), the service, and the beautiful garden and house. It's a more local elevated experience than some of the beach-side restaurants that seem to cater to wealthy tourists (and charge accordingly). Loved this place!
