23 Best Restaurants in Bermuda

Fourways is renowned not only for its beautiful 17th-century setting but also for its award-winning European cuisine and iconic Sunday brunch. The refined yet welcoming interior, complete with mahogany banisters, burgundy carpets, impressionist artwork, and silver-and-crystal table settings, offers the charm of a fine French manor. It provides an elegant backdrop for traditional dishes like veal tenderloin, rack of lamb, and Bermuda-style fish, all beautifully presented. A classical pianist adds to the relaxed dining experience, though be prepared to wait for a table during peak hours, as there are set dining sittings. Don't miss the Peg Leg Bar & Lounge on-site for a nostalgic step back in time.

After a complete renovation, this beachside restaurant, named for the secluded bay and beach just steps from the dining room, brings fresh and simple takes on Mediterranean dishes reinvented with bold Asian flavors. Much of the ingredients are locally sourced and it's often worth waiting to hear the specials of the day, as Chef Guido and his team make the most of seasonal ingredients. Floor-to-ceiling windows afford absolutely stunning views across the north shore. Make sure to try one of the inventive cocktails and leave room for the affogato dessert—it's a must.

Two-time Best of Bermuda Gold award-winning Aurora restaurant at Newstead Belmont Hills Resort showcases the dedication of local farmers and fishermen, with an ocean-to-table menu that lets the main ingredients shine. When you aren't marveling at the view, you'll find yourself colored impressed by the diverse menu featuring seafood delights like local yellowfin tuna ribbons, seafood paella, and catch of the day. Aurora also caters to vegetarians and vegans with a small but thoughtful selection. For a scenic and convenient journey, a complimentary water shuttle is available to transport you between the restaurant and various points around Hamilton Harbour. Note: Aurora maintains a dress code—no flip-flops or shorts (Bermuda shorts are fine), and men are asked to wear a collared shirt.

Choose from over a dozen homemade all-natural ice creams at this iconic parlor easily identified by its bright turquoise exterior. There are plenty of fun flavors for kids, including Shrek (noted by its customary green color—don't worry it tastes good!), plus classics like butter pecan and their signature Oreo sweet cream. You can also have your ice cream in a sundae, such as a Dusty Road—ice cream sprinkled with malt powder, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry—or whipped into a milkshake. Take your cone and enjoy a stroll through the gardens that connect the ice cream parlor to adjacent Crystal and Fantasy Caves. 

The tastefully decorated contemporary dining room—mahogany-framed chairs and banquettes, soft-gold lights over the tables—is reminiscent of sophisticated big-city restaurants, and the food (from both the sea and land) that comes to the table is created by a culinary team dedicated to excellence. Ease into your meal with a bowl of island-style fish chowder; for an entrée, try one of their classics, such as Bermuda rockfish or surf and turf—boneless beef ribs and fire-grilled king tiger shrimp. If you save room for dessert, opt for the artisanal cheese selection or perhaps the gingerbread toffee pudding. There's also a great cocktail bar for a social martini or late-night digestif. And if you're looking for a romantic dinner, reserve the \"snug corner,\" which is a table for two, tucked away out of sight of other diners.

The smartly dressed waitstaff, bustling atmosphere, and art-filled walls lend an authentic European feel to this beloved Front Street bistro. Executive Chef Jonny Roberts, who has received multiple Best of Bermuda awards, takes great pride in Bolero's frequently updated brasserie menu, which in the past has featured escargot, roast rack of lamb, and even black pudding. The restaurant regularly pivots into new territory, and each menu iteration incorporates locally sourced ingredients for a distinct island flair. Fresh mussels pair well with a shoulder of lamb main, and finish with a warm pear and almond tart topped with Bermudian-made Alex & Pete's vanilla ice cream. As this is a popular spot for business lunches and romantic dinners, be sure to make a reservation. On warm summer evenings, the harbor-view balcony is one of the best in Hamilton.

Set in a quiet corner of the Botanical Gardens, The Botanist Café is an ideal spot to recharge with a hot or cold drink and a snack after exploring the historic grounds or browsing the impressive exhibits at the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art.

With elegant boho decor and island-inspired contemporary Caribbean cuisine, Breezes is best enjoyed in the early evening, just as the sunset sets the sky ablaze in brilliant oranges and pinks. This is peak alfresco dining. Savor creative starter salads, fresh local seafood, and handcrafted cocktails under a canopy of stars.

Perched between towering cliff rocks and a pristine private beach on the southern coast, Coconuts offers one of the most romantic dining experiences with breathtaking views of the ocean. Open seasonally during the summer, the menu changes frequently, but you can always expect a diverse selection—from drunken mussels to rockfish to braised oxtail—prepared with signature Bermudian flair, while also accommodating meat-free diets. Starting in May, the restaurant hosts a weekly beach BBQ. Due to its popularity, reservations for dinner and special events are recommended, as tables fill up quickly at this sought-after spot.

Located just across from Horseshoe Bay, one of Bermuda’s most popular beaches, this restaurant serves up a variety of surf-and-turf dishes, including oysters, clams, and lobster, as well as sushi and plenty of options for vegetarians and selective eaters. Guests rave about the thin-crust pizzas and fresh fish, with sandwiches, tacos, and wraps offering satisfying alternatives after a day at the beach. Finger-licking starters round out the menu, while a sophisticated wine list and tempting desserts make for a perfect end to a meal under the island sun. Note that the restaurant is closed between lunch and dinner during the winter season.

A sleek bar and sophisticated decor provide an elegant backdrop for intimate dinners and classy power lunches. The steak-house classics, which feature flavorful aged beef and a variety of gourmet sides, are highly regarded; there's also plenty of fresh seafood on offer. Harry's Bar and Waterside Patio (look out for the huge marlin statue) are great places to mingle with the after-work crowd, and both areas can get especially busy on Friday; plan ahead to avoid the rush or reserve a quiet table in the corner.

As popular with locals as it is with vacationers from nearby Southampton resorts, the lively Henry VIII exudes an Old English charm that stops just short of \"wench\" waitresses and Tudor styling. It's a bit pricey for what you get, but you can find a mix of English and Bermudian menu favorites, including lamb chop, pan-fried rockfish, and Indian curries. Save room for the chocolate fudge cake. There's also a sushi bar and an eat-as-much-as-you-can Sunday brunch. For alfresco dining, sit on the patio overlooking the southern coast. You won't find a jester to entertain you, but a jazz duo and DJ perform weekly. After dinner, the large dance floor gets crowded as Henry's turns into a popular nightspot, especially on Sunday.

This light-filled bakery that sells authentic French pastries is not only beautiful to look at but smells incredible. The traditional pastries include flaky buttery croissants and soft rich chocolate chip cookies and are all baked on the premises, as are the sourdough loaves, all using a specially imported French flour. There are also housemade sandwiches that come on the bakery's baguettes—Le Country, on walnut raisin bread with goat cheese, honey, and prosciutto, is simple but full of flavor. Grab a freshly brewed cup of coffee and a delectable treat and enjoy the sights of Front Street from the communal table or at one of the sidewalk spots.

Year after year, this long-standing Hamilton eatery has remained a family favorite, with good reason. The yellow and brick interior is warm and inviting, and the waiters are always friendly. Without a doubt the king of the menu is pizza—La Trattoria's pies are fired in a brick, wood-burning 600°F pizza oven. Opt for a traditional margherita, the savory Arugula (with spicy arugula, salty prosciutto, and mozzarella), or even splurge on the Gold Pizza, which has edible gold flakes. Or you can create your own pie from a list of over 20 inventive toppings. If you're not feeling pizza, there's also a variety of pasta options and seafood dishes. If you order the house wine, ask for it to be served in one of their signature ceramic chicken pitchers. This spot is usually packed with locals, both at dinnertime and during the workday lunch rush, so it's best to reserve ahead.

Find yourself at Lost in the Triangle (LITT), a Bermudian-run seafood restaurant taking over from the Swizzle Inn's sister spot. Some may recall LITT from its award-winning tenure in the city of Hamilton. After COVID closures, owner and avid fisherman Delvin Bean was able to reopen and continue serving his signature dishes and fresh, locally caught fish. The atmosphere is welcoming, with TVs tuned to sports or cartoons for the little ones. Bike parking is ample. 

Perched a stone's throw from the ocean, the open-air restaurant located at The Loren hotel brings major tropical, laid-back vibes with its untreated wood and rope design. The menu doesn't stray too far from locally sourced ingredients, with a particular focus on fresh seafood, and changes seasonally. As it's the main restaurant at the hotel, you can indulge in freshly squeezed juices at breakfast, enjoy a post-beach lunch, or celebrate a special occasion at dinner. The restaurant's weekend brunch is also popular, so it's best to book a table in advance. 

A two-level restaurant and popular sushi bar (Pearl) with a modern look and elegant atmosphere, Port O Call is one of the few ground-entry dining spots on Front Street, with an outdoor dining area reminiscent of a chic European sidewalk café. The fresh local fish—such as wahoo, tuna, grouper, and snapper—is cooked perfectly, and the preparations are creative. Swing by around 5 pm to join a happy hour crowd of Bermuda's business elite and up-and-comers; Port O Call offers one of the island's most sophisticated dining and drinking experiences. For a romantic and delicious end to your evening, try a slice of their famous cheesecake.

Serving authentic affordable Indian cuisine, this relaxed eatery is set back in a former wine cellar on a quiet cobblestone alley off Front Street. The quality and variety of dishes will suit any palate—just be sure to sample one of the fresh breads from the tandoor, and don't miss out on the deliciously inventive tandoori chicken flatbread.

Swizzle Inn created one of Bermuda's most hallowed drinks, the Rum Swizzle: gold and black rum, triple sec, orange and pineapple juices, and bitters. This place is a local landmark, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and plenty of decent affordable pub fare. With so many pitchers of the island's national drink being consumed day and night, there's never a dull moment. Join the countless others who have left their mark over the years; it's customary to pin a business card or scribble your name on the pub's colorful walls. Breakfast is also served from 11 am on the weekends.

Tucked away from Harrington Sound Road, one of the island's oldest restaurants occupies a 17th-century Bermuda cottage with historical charm. Tom Moore was an Irish poet who lived and wrote on Bermuda in the early 19th century, but whether you're a fan of literature or not, the sophisticated, French-influenced menu and dreamy setting amid the Walsingham Nature Reserve offer an experience to remember. Though not inexpensive, the impeccably prepared cuisine is fresh, light, and innovative, perfect for a special occasion (reservations are required). Try the traditional fish chowder, warmed and completed tableside with Bermuda's ubiquitous sherry pepper sauce and Goslings rum, but save room for one of the renowned dessert soufflés. Guests can dine in one of the five cozy rooms or, by special arrangement, alfresco on a terrace that overlooks Walsingham Bay.

Dressed in bright pink, the Tuck Shop stands out against its neighboring stores in stark contrast. The sweet little shop, located in the Heron Bay Plaza, puts a focus on sustainability, featuring slow fashions made by local designers, and sweet treats that are handmade and to die for (the lemon bars and artfully decorated cookies are for-sure winners). Proprietor Alicia Tucker also carries an eclectic mix of gifts and souvenirs and natural apothecary items.  

With a name like Wahoo's, it's no surprise that this restaurant's menu features a wide variety of fresh local seafood. Though often crowded, the patio offers an unbeatable view of the water; kids will love throwing scraps to schools of fish near the dock. Check the blackboard for the catch-of-the-day specials, and be sure to try the ever-popular wahoo tacos or wahoo nuggets. Whether it's served in a creamy chowder, on a bun, or over vegetables, Wahoo's does fish right.

This graceful, two-story manor house, which dates from 1670 and once functioned as a bed-and-breakfast, now holds one of Bermuda's most elegant and elaborate steak restaurants. Arrive early to sip on classic cocktails or just enjoy the spectacular sunsets put on full display through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The restaurant's menu changes regularly but always offers an excellent fish chowder and prime cuts of steak, aged-in house. If Wagyu isn't your thing, grilled catch of the day over an array of colorful local vegetables makes a perfect main course. Decadent desserts, like red wine pear tarte tatin, top off an extremely satisfying meal. The Waterlot's impeccable service and old-world charm make for an unforgettable dining experience.
