About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Great for outdoor dining
Built in the 1800 as a very modest Bajan home, Dis Ole House is now living its best life hosting people to take part in our wonderful island’s culinary flavors. We offer a very stark contrast to the much grander Sam Lord's Castle at whose gates we are neatly nestled. We provoke curiosity and experiences where little touches like our enamel tableware will make any Bajan smile with yesteryear nostalgia. The area itself is nostalgic; Sam Lord himself must have roamed here, right? We’re proud promoters of all “tings” Bajan, celebrating our ancestors, history, and culture. Come drink a rum punch (or two--who are we to judge?) and try our very traditional dishes: cutters, fish cakes, roast breadfruit, or our national dish, Cou Cou & Flying Fish. We boast as a seafood lover's paradise, Lobster, Conch, Sea Cat (octopus), and Sea Egg (seasonal) are all among our fresh local offerings, grilled, pickled, and blacken the Bajan way.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Dis Ole House provides an enchanting garden atmosphere that feels like a "hidden gem" with "amazing" Caribbean flavors, delightful service, and vibrant live music. While some diners experience delays and unavailability of menu items, many praise the "authentic Bajan cuisine" as "the best" on the island. The "whimsical" setting and "friendly" staff make it a "must-visit" for those seeking a unique dining experience.

    Limited menu (isn’t everything post covid?). We were there for lunch. Everything we had was delicious. We were there as they opened and the bar tender was not there yet so we never got our specialty drink we ordered (although we were not billed for it either).

    I would never go to this place again. I’ve never written a review before but this time I felt necessary. Food was fine but not worth it…had to ask several times for our drinks and just table water. Server never asked if we wanted another cocktail…. I had to ask 3 times just for another glass of water for the table …. Never got it Apps showed up before drinks served …. Don’t waste your time or $. I understand island time .. but this was just…. Again, not worth it…. Sorry to write a bad review. I put myself through college waiting tables …I always tip 20% or better….no matter … everyone has a bad night ….but tonight ….Couldn’t do it….

    Hands down, the best meal my wife and I have had since arriving on the island! Dis Ole House is a hidden gem that captures the true spirit of Barbados—not just through its warm atmosphere but with every bite. I had the lamb with mashed potatoes and carrots—perfectly seasoned and tender. My wife couldn't stop raving about the catch of the day (barracuda), paired with flavorful rice and sweet plantains. To top it all off, we were blessed with the sounds of live music that made the evening unforgettable. If you're in Barbados, don't miss this spot—it’s soul food with an island heartbeat.

    Unfortunately, the options and communication were terrible. Many items on the menu were not available. We waited over an hour for our drinks and over 2 hours for our food. After waiting about an hour and a half, we were told there was no more coconut rice which was a key ingredient in several dishes and they would substitute mashed potatoes. There was a dirty diaper on the ground under our table and we had to call the manager to have someone pick it up. We had to ask for some bread or something after an hour and a half. They did comp the two drinks that we were able to get in our three hours there. Although I have thoroughly enjoyed the venue in the past, this experience has so soured me on the place that I will not be returning, especially when the manager said “all’s well that ends well at the end. No, it did not end well.

    I had read that this was a ‘hidden gem’ and that’s exactly what it is! Such a beautiful restaurant, really great Caribbean food, helpful and friendly staff and 100% worth a visit!
