Lifestyle: Intoxicate your Senses

The Cliff Barbados, originally uploaded by Adam Miller.

Heading to the Caribbean for a hot spring-get-away? If so, be sure to check out the beautiful Island of Barbados and dine rail side over candle light at a spectacular open air restaurant ranked as one of the 50 best restaurants in the world: The Cliff.

This elegantly casual restaurant offers a modern and creative international cuisine; professional and friendly service and not to mention an ambiance that will literally take your breath away. The restaurant is situated on top of a coral cliff on the Platinum coast in St. James Parish – home away from home for many of the world’s rich and famous. The Cliff may be one of the most romantic restaurants in the world. You will admire an intoxicating view over-looking the Caribbean Sea and may just want to pinch yourself (I did!).

Be prepared to spend around $500US on dinner for two, plus an additional charge for a decent bottle of wine and of course to indulge in some pre/post drinks in their trendy lounge upstairs (with another astonishing view). Fish is the Island’s specialty, but if you’re a beef lover, I recommend the beef tenderloin and truffle French fries. For an additional supplemental fee, you can go with the always popular Kobe beef or similar world class morsels. I will advise however, that all dishes on the menu are equally delicious and that the upgrade in price did not provide that much different of a gastronomical experience!
