Food scene

St. Lawrence Gap, also known as “The Gap” by locals, is a small street on the South coast of Barbados in the parish of Christ Church. This is a unique area where young teens and senior citizens walk side by side and Tequila shots and Sunday Mass is served across the street from each other. Here, Restaurants, Night Clubs, Hotels and a host of small businesses, all ply their trade happily together. If you stay or visit The Gap, you can have a meal or snack, go to a Bank or ATM, buy souvenirs, play the slot machines, swim in the sea, buy Aloe for the sunburn and party the night away! Or maybe have a coffee break, check out the street vendors, stop for a refreshing ice cream, as you make your way to watch the sun go down over the Atlantic sea. In true Barbadian style, million dollar condos co-exist next door to low budget hotels as they hug the shores of the south coast. A large selection of restaurants, snuggle in-between these hotels on both sides of the street and serve a WIDE selection of delicious dishes from around the world. West End The west side of The Gap is more active than the quieter east side. If you are looking for dinner and to the party the night away, the west side is definitely the side to visit. You will find a short boardwalk with a few benches where you can sit with a cool drink and watch as the sun dips below the horizon. You could not want more front row seating than that! Street vendors ply their trade along the bustling west end of The Gap. Stop and admire beautiful handcrafted jewelry, basket weaving or unique souvenirs. At night, try sampling some Barbadian street food from popular vendors. You will be joined by many Barbadians who stop by to pick up their dinner or a late night snack. East End The East side of The Gap is a lot quieter with Hotels, Condos and Guesthouses intermingled with private homes. You will notice a more relaxed atmosphere as you stroll to a restaurant and then on to a bar or two for a refreshing drink. Bars in The Gap You don’t have to look too far for a bar or “watering hole” in The Gap. Whether you are looking for a quiet drink with friends or a crazy night out this 1.5 Kilometer stretch has something for you. In The Gap, there are MANY bars to choose from. Sit and chat with locals at the Dover Seaside Beach Facilities or maybe chose a bar with music to soothe the soul. You can even find a coconut vendor or two offering fresh “water” served in the coconut to quench your thirst.
