Seafood at Cin Cin, Barbados

Cocktail at Cin Cin Barbados

Cin Cin is a very stylish contemporary restaurant based in Prospect on the West Coast of Barbados in St. James district.  We turned up, without a reservation (although I recommend that you book, especially for dinner), at around 2pm and were warmly greeted in the car park by a guy who promptly took our keys to park the car and welcomed us into the foyer.  First impressions were the modern bar, white leather furniture and the stunning view of the ocean through the very large areas of glass.  It was lunchtime and not too busy so we were lucky enough to get a table on the terrace which is down at the water's edge.  Lunchtime dress code is relaxed so we were fine in our shorts and T-shirts.

  After a refreshing cocktail we had the Seared Tuna Nicoise Salad which was a modern take on this classic dish.  All the traditional components were there but they were presented imaginatively with a poached Quail's egg, a bundle of French Beans, baby new potatoes in mayonnaise and perfectly seared fresh Yellowfin Tuna. 


Main course was Kingfish (see note below) with a caper sauce on smooth leek and potato puree and seasonal vegetables. Our food was cooked to perfection and served beautifully so for me, Cin Cin is a 'must-visit' restaurant for anyone in Barbados.

(Kingfish or Wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri) is found worldwide in tropical and subtropical seas and the species as a whole is not considered overfished.  It is much prized by sports fishermen).
