Hidden Treasures Located on the main road near the Deep Water Harbour in Bridgetown, just outside of the main shopping district, is the Pelican Craft Centre. This is the largest arts and crafts centre in the Caribbean with 25 shops and countless workshops where visitors can watch the craftsmen making pottery, basketry and straw work, flame glass work, carving, weaving, sewing, tuning steelpans and cigar making. Sylvester’s Restaurant and Cork & Bottle Bar and Bistro both serve really tasty Bajan food at very reasonable prices. The Centre is very well appointed with air-conditioned shops, disabled facilities and spacious parking.
