Family of three. Beautiful food, staff and setting: exactly what it says on social media and reviews. Loved it and definitely worth it: even if you want to go and have a salad and burger, prices are reasonable. So pleased we went here. Loved it:

This was my first trip to Barbados and first time dining at Champers and it won’t be the last on both fronts.

I made a last minute reservation at Champers due to another island restaurant canceling my reservations due to renovations. They only had a 5:30pm slot and informed that there would be no tables by the water and since I was celebrating my 60th birthday on the island, I accepted the open slot.

Well, when I got there, I was greeted by the manager who informed me that they have a table by the water and acknowledged my birthday.

Needless to say, the atmosphere and location was truly unbelievable along with very friendly staff. Best of all, the menu was customized acknowledging my birthday by name which was last minute. I chose the prix fixe menu after all, it was my birthday lol.

The food was super delicious along with the presentation. Champers made my special day feel very special and I will return there again when I vacation in Barbados in the future. Truly fine dining with a great selection of food to enjoy!

We were recommended to Champers by a native of Barbados, and the suggestion was seconded by several other locals at our hotel, so we made a reservation. We were staying at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion, in Holetown, on the west side of the island, and Champers is located in Bridgetown on the south side of the island. Distance-wise, it wasn’t far, but it took almost an hour for our driver to get us there, because of terrible traffic, for our 6:30 p.m. reservation. The ride home, a couple of hours later, was much, much quicker, but it was a very expensive car ride and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone if you’re not already close to the restaurant.
Champers is located on the oceanfront, although the approach to it was deceptive. It is a beautiful stone building, with it’s own parking lot, and several dining venues. We entered through the main entrance (see photo) and were taken to the outdoor dining deck, overlooking the surf. There is also upstairs dining in an air-conditioned dining room, which is suggested for business lunches.
Service was friendly, professional and prompt, which we appreciated. A 3-course prix fixe menu was available, but we passed on it because it seemed like too much food (although we ended up sharing a dessert.) Starters included roasted cauliflower & mushroom tart, camembert fritti, spiced shrimp taco, vegetable spring rolls, Caesar’s salad, chicken liver pate, bao buns, coconut shrimp, duo of smoked fish (salmon & tuna), pork belly, roast duck leg, beetroot carpaccio & shrimp & mango salad. Main courses included pan roasted chicken, grilled Atlantic salmon, 10 oz ribeye steak, sauteed prawns, rack of lamb, spiced pork tenderloin, oven roasted barracuda, medley of chickpea and lentil, and shrimp penne pasta.
We began our meal with cockails: Vodka & grapefruit juice for Catherine, and Mount Gay Eclipse rum on the rocks for me. The drink sizes were generous, and our orders were delivered quickly. Catherine chose a Pinot Grigio (Santa Margherita) for her meal, while I opted for a New Zealand Pinot Noir. Catherine is a spring roll fan, and she was not disappointed by her starter (see food photos). She received four small spring rolls with a sesame soy dipping sauce. It was a generous portion, well prepared and executed, and she did not offer me a taste! I accepted our server’s suggestion and selected the Slow Roasted Pork Belly, with pickled vegetables, apple & celery puree and Hoisin sauce. It was a healthy slice of pork belly, perfected prepared, and it was delicious.
Catherine chose the Rack of Lamb, medium rare, and received her order prepared as requested. Her plate consisted of 3 full racks, with crushed new potatos, minted pea puree, broccoli, and natural jus. She pronounced it to be excellent. I opted for the Sauteed Prawns simmered in red Thai curry & coconut sauce, served with fragrant basmati rice and vegetable. The dish included 6 large prawns, a healthy portion of rice, and plenty of the delightful curry & coconut sauce. I barely was able to finish the shrimp, and left rice on the plate. It was a perfect selection for me, and it was very tasty.
We took an unusual twist and decided to share a dessert, from the separate dessert menu. The options included Crème Brulee, white chocolate cheesecake, double chocolate cheesecake, double chocolate torte, coconut pie, coffee & caramel ice cream, panna cotta, warm bread pudding, tiramisu and a cheese plate. We chose the double chocolate cheesecake with almonds served with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. It was decadent and delicious, and was a healthy portion which was easily shared, and even then we didn’t finish it all.
All in all, it was a fabulous dining experience, with zero negatives and a lot of very delicious food. Prices were commensurate with prices at similar fine dining restaurants here, in our limited experience. We strongly recommend Champers for a wonderful meal!

We had a great time here to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary with our children and my parents. The service was impeccable and the food delicious. The setting was beautiful on the water front. We appreciated the kids menu for our son. My husband and I opted for the 3 course set menu and everything was perfect, particularly the coconut shrimp and white chocolate cheesecake. The staff made a real effort by giving us personalised menus with our names and mentioned our anniversary. A really nice touch. Thank you ❤️

We made a return trip for lunch following our dinner visit in 2022 and it didn’t disappoint
We went for the fixed price 3 course lunch menu. All food cooked to perfection and delicious. Enjoyed the cocktails - lots of choice and well made. Staff attentive and the view over the Caribbean Sea is stunning
We will return
