Zagat rated Barbados’ No. 1 for Food, Zen offers authentic Japanese and Thai delicacies in a magnificent setting on Barbados’ southeast coast. Zen’s sophisticated, Asian-inspired architecture and interior decor complement its dramatic setting, complete with an all-glass frontage offering spectacular views of Crane Beach.

Private booths, designed in traditional Japanese style, and a large Tatami room with a recessed floor, provide an option for parties up to 14 to dine in privacy.

    Always consistently delicious food with good portions, staff always helpful and a sense of humour and a wonderful location overlooking the coast with the advantage of air conditioning. It can be noisy but the booths allow privacy and the chatter is then just background atmosphere. Perfect evening!

    Unlike many Barbados restaurants, Zen is nestled within the Crane Resort, which is a massive gated community. The resort is designed to look like a “regular town”, complete with stone streets and a town hall, but it has a very Epcot feel to it. Zen sits in the back, with large glass windows giving a view of the beautiful beach below, but the windows block out any sound. The food was very good, as was the service, but the staged feel of the property took a little away from the ambiance. I know it gets number 1 ranking on Zagats, but I feel like other restaurants on the island are better. Zen is still quite good, but the location is tough. I didn’t feel like I was in Barbados.

    Zen consistently provides a high level of service and the food is simply devine! The restaurant offers tables over looking Crane beach and for those who prefer a more intimate experience there are booths that are separated from the main dining room
