Junior Sealy 

Born and raised in Barbados, Junior moved to live in Toronto before returning back home to the island, where he’s been living for the past 6 years. 

From fashion, art and architecture, to interior design, photography, music and furniture design, it's safe to say Junior has his fingers in many pies. Dubbed by his friends as a 'renaissance man', he travels and soaks up culture across the world for inspiration and ideas, frequently visiting London, Paris, Berlin and Spain for fashion week and art shows, before returning back to Barbados.

Below Junior shares the best spots to eat and drink in Barbados.

The smoothies here have gotten me through some of the longest days and always make for amazing hangout beverages. They also have great cold salads.

Five Gaits is where I go to get equine therapy and learn to really ride via Equestrian classes but the best thing is a trail ride through the valley with friends and then after grabbing some of the best ital/ vegetarian food from Ras Val's! The vibes are great all around and the food never fails! Oh, the moonlight rides with the roast breadfruit are something special.

In Martins Bay, St.John - this spot and the grilled marlin or snapper with rice and their sweet potato pie with Cole slaw...topping it off with a tamarind drink or coconut water from in the shop below. It's one of those places that when you are on east...you can get a nice meal and its never crowded on most days except Thursdays - thats their fish fry mini festival day with music etc.

There are many people selling juices on the side of the street but not like these...her combinations are special and the flavours are super interesting. I would stop by every Saturday morning religiously! Tell her Junior sent you! She is honestly the best!

A great spot for that mid morning ital vibes. Just check when they are open cause it's a bit of a drive if you not staying up in St.Philip.

Not only is the place beautiful with incredible views and you can take a dip in a natural cave swimming pool then come out order breadfruit tacos and maybe catch a whale passing by. It's right up north but well worth the drive plus Sue and Manny are great!

Up North, there isn't much but this gem hidden in a small community is a special place with a chilled vibe and really local food full of love. The owner is super nice and the food is great! The macaroni pie and the grilled fish - Slaps!!!!

In Speightstown, if you want something a bit more local and low key...this is the spot. I would come here with a close friend every weekend and get a full veggie meal or maybe add a bit of fish. One of those "yuh grandmother or mother cook that" feelings.

Okay, let's talk about this big box combo - it changes every day and with each day you just feel the energy put into it. The creativity of the vegan/vegetarian meals and the new mixtures are exciting plus get a kombucha - you can go wrong!

One of my favourite spots to chill for a drink and watch the sunset. The concoctions are the best and the finger foods mixed with the decor - all a big hit for me and my friends. The music is always great with special nights hosting incredible DJ's.

The South coast's newest hot spot. Owned by the same owner as one of the best night time spots on the island "Red Door" this is like a day party with good food and a good vibe.

Sometimes, I want to eat something different but it might be a bit hard if I don't want to eat fish so this place is perfect because almost every meal could be asked to be vegetarian. The staff and owner make

In the sea of spots to eat in oistins - this is my go to fish spot. I always get the grilled Swordfish with Rice, Grilled or Parsley Potatoes and all the salads. I am never disappointed and all my friends who visit me would tell you it's the one place I will always take them. This spot and everyone involved has become like a family to me.
