FOOD IS INTEGRAL to the pleasure of a Bermuda vacation.
Good food—along with famous Bermudian sociability—is
being served island-wide and end-to-end in fine, world-class
restaurants, convivial pubs, casual cafés and coee shops as
well as in mobile carts parked in just the right places.
Flavours in Bermuda range from the truly international to
the traditionally local and reflect the genuine diversity and
cosmopolitanism of both the Island’s resident population
and its visitors. French, Italian, British, American, Caribbean,
Portuguese, North African, Indian and Far Eastern influences
all infuse Bermuda’s cuisine and can spice up your vacation
with deliciously tempting variety.
A recent count revealed more than 150 eating places in
Bermuda. Those listed below are arranged according to
cuisine, convenience, ambience, after work and after hours,
etc. However, it would be impossible to cite every island
establishment and we all know that sometimes the most
satisfying experiences come from simply following the crowd
and, of course, your nose.
FINE DINING
Fine dining and elegant surroundings make it a pleasure to
c o U r T E S y F a i r M o n T P r o P E r T i E S
dress up and have always been available in Bermuda’s hotels.
That tradition continues at Fairmont Hotels’ Waterlot Inn in
Southampton and Harley’s in Hamilton. The Point at Rosewood
Tucker’s Point, Beau Rivage at Newstead Belmont Hills and
Ocean Echo at The Reefs are equally fine choices. The latter
two restaurants oer the bonus of exceptional views—the one
overlooks Hamilton Harbour, the other its own South Shore
beach. And speaking of views, those from Blû Bar and Grill at
Belmont Hills are awesome, especially at night.
Naturally, fine dining can also be found in the City of Hamilton
and its environs. On Front Street, there is Port O’ Call, popular
with local businessmen and politicians and the recently opened
RED, which highlights quality meat and fish infused with your
choice from the flavours of various great cuisines. Just o
Front Street there is Little Venice, the doyenne of Bermuda’s
Italian restaurants. For groups and special occasions, the
Venetian takes this restaurant’s fine dining experience to the
waters of Hamilton Harbour. Call ahead to reserve cocktail or
dinner cruises.
