The average cost of a single meal in Barbados, considering options for an individual, is approximately 30.00 Bds$. This figure is derived by averaging the cost of an inexpensive restaurant meal and a fast-food combo meal. However, the price of a meal can vary significantly depending on the type of restaurant and the dining experience.
Meal Cost Breakdown in Barbados
Below is a breakdown of typical meal costs you might encounter in Barbados:
| Meal Type | Approximate Cost (Bds$) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Meal, Inexpensive Restaurant | 40.00 | A single meal at a casual, budget-friendly eatery. |
| Meal for 2 People, Mid-range Restaurant | 200.00 | A three-course meal for two people in a mid-range restaurant. |
| McMeal at McDonalds (or Equivalent Combo Meal) | 20.00 | A combo meal at a fast-food chain. |
Understanding the Averages:
- For a solo diner seeking affordability, a meal at a local, inexpensive restaurant might cost around 40.00 Bds$.
- A quick, budget-friendly option like a fast-food combo meal typically comes in at about 20.00 Bds$.
- When calculating an average for a single person's meal, combining these two common options (an inexpensive restaurant meal and a fast-food meal) gives an approximate average of (40.00 Bds$ + 20.00 Bds$) / 2 = 30.00 Bds$.
For those dining out as a pair in a more formal setting, a three-course meal for two people in a mid-range restaurant would be around 200.00 Bds$. This implies an individual cost of approximately 100.00 Bds$ per person for such an experience.
In addition to meal costs, it's worth noting that a domestic beer (1 pint draught) in Barbados typically costs around 5.00 Bds$.
