Yes it’s touristy but if you know that it’s great - Edit
As you can tell from other reviews and the pictures, this isn’t a local spot, it’s a restaurant that’s part of a private residence resort, and it shows. But if you don’t mind that, then the vegan lunch menu has many options all which look great, and spending the day here soaking in the sun in the lounge chairs, the pool, or swimming in the sea is a really great choice. I’d definitely be happy to come back here and try more things on the menu, I had the vegan kofta which was actually really tasty!

Overpriced and not vegan enough - Edit
I've been to Pier One twice now and wouldn't go back. Firstly, it's an expensive place filled with tourists- the locals aren't coming here, this is a place for people on holiday, which makes it a bit inauthentic for me.
Read moreThe second time I came was at Easter when they had a buffet on. During the booking process it was made known that I'm vegan and they assured us that there would be vegan options available. Bearing in mind the buffet was $160 per person I expect good options.
On arrival I asked the chef who was serving soup whether it was vegan. He confidently said yes. I asked if there was any dairy in it (because some people think dairy is vegan in Barbados) and he said no. Thirdly, I asked if there was any butter in it and he started to look nervous and said he'd check in the kitchen. Turns out that yes, there was butter in it. I asked what else he had that was vegan and he suggested a fishcake. This man was a CHEF! He should know what's vegan and what isn't.
I went around the buffet and one of the other chefs was much more helpful and showed me what I could have and what was off limits. It came to a side plate of dry salad (because even the dressing had animal products in) and some plain boiled rice. I was livid.
They eventually came to the table and asked whether I'd like them to prepare a special plate of vegan food for me and I accepted. What appeared was a plate of plantain sushi (novel!) and then another plate overflowing with food, some of which still had parmesan and butter on it.
I ate a few bits and even asked the servers to tell me whether it was in fact parmesan or not, and they confirmed that it was. I was really disappointed and felt so deflated after that meal. I just couldn't believe that after knowing that there was going to be a vegan coming, that they didn't prepare for that or educate their staff on what vegan means. I don't recommend it at all.
Cons: Not reliably vegan food, Staff untrained on what vegan means, Over priced

Great place to spend a day - Edit
They let you use the facilities when you eat here so it's a great place to spend a day. Also they have a vegan/vegetarian menu which had a nice range of options. A lot of reviews I've read of the place criticise the service here but we couldn't have been treated better.

I've already put your order through... - Edit
I'm only disappointed at the service and lack of knowledge/training of the front of house staff. They need to know what is on the menu, how to deal with a long wait time (ie apologise and keep apologising while bringing lots of drinks).
Read morePros: The location, right on the water. Gorgeous!, Location location location., The only good thing is where it is.
Cons: Service is terrible, Staff almost obnoxious. Maybe because of the locat, Menu choice and wait time
