87 Best Restaurants in Bermuda
What's incredible about the Bermuda restaurant scene isn't so much the number or quality of restaurants, but the sheer variety of cuisines represented on the menus, especially considering that Bermuda is such a tiny island. It hosts a medley of global cuisines—British, French, Italian, Portuguese, American, Caribbean, Indian, Chinese, and Thai—palatable reminders of Bermuda's history as a colony.
Many superior independent and resort restaurants attract a constant and steady stream of internationally acclaimed chefs, assuring that the latest techniques and trends are menu regulars. At the same time, virtually all restaurant menus list traditional Bermudian dishes and drinks, so you have the opportunity to taste local specialties at almost any meal.
As you might expect, methods are not all that's imported. Roughly 80% of Bermuda's food is flown or shipped in, most of it from the United States. This explains why restaurant prices are often higher here than on the mainland.
Nevertheless, there are a number of delicious local ingredients that you should look for. At the top of the list is extraordinary seafood, like lobster (best during September through March), crab, oysters, mussels, clams, red snapper, rockfish, tuna, and wahoo. Additionally, many chefs work with local growers to serve fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, leeks, tomatoes, corn, broccoli, and Bermuda onions (one of the island's earliest exports); and in the fruit department, strawberries, cherries, bananas, and loquats (small yellow fruit used for preserves). Imports notwithstanding, Bermudian cuisine really begins and ends with local ingredients and traditional preparations, and therein lies the island's culinary identity.
While in Bermuda, try to eat like a local and put a couple of traditional dishes to the test. Bermuda is a seafood lover’s paradise, with favorite dishes including mussel pie, shark hash, and codfish and bananas. As for soups, you can go for fish chowder, conch chowder, or traditional Portuguese black-eyed bean soup. Don’t forget to kick back and relax after your meal with a rum swizzle, a Black and Coke, or a Dark ’n' Stormy. Ginger beer—which is quite different from ginger ale—remains the island’s most popular soda for the kids.
Blu Bar & Grill
With sweeping views of aquamarine waters, white roofs, and lush palm trees—along with the manicured golf course—Blu Bar & Grill offers one of the island's most picturesque dining experiences, especially at sunset. The cuisine is a creative fusion of American and eclectic flavors, featuring bold tastes with a focus on exotic herbs and spices. While steaks and ribs are on offer, the seafood is the highlight. Indulge in fish chowder followed by lobster, oysters, yellowfin tuna, rockfish, snapper, or wahoo. For sushi lovers, there’s a selection of nigiri, sashimi, and temaki, as well as chef’s special combinations for those who can’t decide.
Bone Fish Bar & Grill
Service is relaxed, but the friendly vibe and big covered patio make Bone Fish a favorite with both locals and visitors. The breezy dining room is a cool break from the sun, and the menu covers everything from house-smoked brisket and homemade pastas to signature seafood tacos. Ask about the special lobster menu—think lobster tempura, risotto, and mac and cheese. Owner Livio Ferigo often pops by to chat with diners, and kids are covered with options like chicken tenders and cheese ravioli. Live entertainment, from guitarists to DJs and karaoke, keeps things lively all week.

For Saturday's brunch, choose from their classic breakfast selection, or try the Filipino pork belly bowl or tapsilog, with marinated beef, a fried egg, garlic fried rice, and cucumber pickled salad on the side.

The curried fish cake is a particular favorite, topped with tartar sauce and served on a bun.
Mad Hatters
Mama Angie's

There are a few outdoor tables for seating.
