Absolutely Fantastic Experience at Derrière! Everything we had at Derrière was absolutely delicious from start to finish! We tried the frog legs, escargot, duck confit, and tuna tartare, and every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The service was amazing friendly, attentive, and made us feel completely welcome. The drinks were just as impressive and paired beautifully with our meal. If you’re looking for authentic French cuisine with a warm, lively atmosphere, Derrière is definitely the place to go. Can’t wait to come back! All I can say is utterly sublime! This little slice of Parisienne heaven is tucked away in the Lime Grove shopping mall. It’s fairly newly opened and was recommend to us by our local friend. It did not disappoint! Everything from the decor, atmosphere, warm welcome, cocktails and food was truly outstanding! My wife and I visited early Sunday evening and were greeted by the charming hostess and co-creator Chef JJ. They made us feel at home immediately and it was heartwarming to see JJ greeting everyone as they entered and similarly mingling with those already seated to check everything was tip top. We had a drink at the bar to begin with, lychee martini for my wife and G&T for me, both executed and tasted perfect. To eat we shared some Chorizo croquettes (heavenly!) then we both had the French onion soup (best I’ve ever tasted-including in France!) and moules frites, again just sublime and I could have bathed in the moules sauce! It’s worth mentioning even the bread and butter was of Michelin standard! This was washed down with a petit Chablis, what else?! My wife was beaten into a food coma by this point but I managed to squeeze in the best apple tarte tatin I’ve ever tasted. I should also mention our delightful waiter whose name sadly escapes me but his service and jovial personality was shining bright, a real star! Again I cannot recommend this beautiful restaurant highly enough, it’s a MUST visit on any Barbados trip, we’ll definitely be back! This is a little hideaway within a West Coast Mall. The decor is a little dated but plenty of space for large diners. My starter was a yummy pumpkin soup, and after I had a croque monsieur which was not bad, and dessert I had the key lime pie. In all the staff was super friendly and efficient, however, I felt that the bill for two people for lunch was a bit high. Good friendly vibe.

I felt like a brief and elegant escape from Barbados—like stepping into a chic European bistro tucked away in the heart of the Caribbean. The ambiance was an absolute hit, effortlessly blending sophistication with a cozy, romantic vibe. From the moment we walked in, the service was A1 plus—attentive, warm, and polished without being overbearing. The décor is stunning—every detail thoughtfully curated to enhance the experience, from the lighting to the artwork. It really set the tone for an unforgettable evening. As for the food: we started with oysters and French onion soup. The oysters were fresh and briny with just the right touch of garnish, and the soup was rich, deeply flavorful, and comforting—my wife loved it. For the main course, I had the lamb shank and she went with the sea bass. Both dishes were beautifully plated, seasoned to perfection, and cooked just right. You could taste the freshness in every bite. Derriere is more than a meal—it’s a vibe, an experience, a must-visit for anyone who appreciates exceptional dining with style and soul... right here in Barbados...
