Our Story
Wa'Omoni (n.) [wah-oh-MOH-nee]: The pre-historic, Amerindian name for Barbuda bestowed on her by the Arawak and Indigenous islanders. This is thought to mean the "Island of Herons" after the large birds, the Frigate or Weather Bird, found on the island.
Our name is synonymous with who we are. Serving the best of Barbuda's authentic local dishes, we are Barbuda's best eatery! We offer A+ rated service with a plethora of menu options to choose from. Our customers are our top priority.
