the view from the restaurant
Yesterday I celebrated my 53rd year of living. My husband and I had lunch at Champers, one of my favorite restaurants on the south coast of Barbados. It was a cloudy day and we've had some rain earlier in the morning to my delight. The location is one of the best on the south coast. The food was good and very consistent. In Barbados eating out is expensive and hit and miss. The prices were reasonable and the service was excellent. Now good service in Barbados is a rarity to bajans (bay-jans) like me. The visitors say they get good service but when it comes to one of their own, bajans seem to think they should not demand nor give the same service. My motto has always been, I am a firm believer in excellent customer service, I give it and expect to receive it. Cheers to Champers!
Happy birthday, Helen!
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Birthday! Many Wondrous Returns! Your dinner looks delicious... with a great view.
ReplyDeleteBlessed birthday to you! Btw, beautiful beach and that's my kind of food... yummy ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lotusleaf for your birthday greetings. Nice of you to stop by and leave a note.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol it was delicious and I never get tired of that great view.
Stephanie glad that you like the beach and my type of food too. Perhaps you can share some of your recipes with me.
Happy birthday
ReplyDeleteA friend told me that Champers was wonderful-I hope to try it on your next visit.
Yes, when we were students at Cave Hill we were all struck at the bad service we were given at some restaurants, yet the staff fawned over the tourists.
Thank you Nicole, Champers is a great place to have a meal. Another fabulous place is the Tides on the west coast. I am tired with the way locals treat locals with no RESPECT! Do you get to Barbados often?
