27 Best Restaurants in Bermuda

Background Illustration for Restaurants

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.

Aurora

$$$ Fodor's choice

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.

The Botanist Café & Garden Lounge

l'Artisan

$ Fodor's choice

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.

The Pink Beach Club

$$$$ Fodor's choice

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. 

Beau Rivage

$$$

This upscale, waterfront French eatery with an alfresco patio, a vast selection of wines, and an extensive menu adds a little ooh-la-la to Bermuda's restaurant scene. Specialties include leg of lamb, lobster risotto, and beef Wellington, but save room for desserts such as soufflés, chocolate fondant, and crème brûlée. In addition, there's a private table in the heart of the chef's kitchen for 8 to 16 people. Beau Rivage hosts a good Sunday brunch from 11:30 am. Enjoy a lively happy hour at Sanzibar, the tapas and burgers bar just next door.

If you're feeling peckish on a night out, this is the place to come, as food is served until midnight every night. The bar is open until 3 am nightly, serving cocktails and other concoctions.

Buzz N Go

$

These gas station outposts of Buzz Cafe serve up familiar fast food fare such as hamburgers and fries, but you can also get a veggie-filled burrito bowl, fresh made sushi and wraps, as well as a delicious variety of healthy smoothies. But it's also a great place to stop for a caffeine fix, as they brew up the company's signature Devil's Isle coffee. The Crawl Hill location is walking distance from both Shelly Bay Beach and the start of the Bailey's Bay section of the Railway Trail, which has an entrance across from the gas station.

The Cottage Café & Bistro

$

Tucked inside the Washington Mall, this café run by a husband-and-wife team is best known for its outstanding breakfasts, changing lunch specials, and friendly service. Try the plate-sized fluffy pancake topped with homemade candied walnuts, or give the Azorean eggs Benedict, topped with crispy chorizo and fresh Portuguese cheese, a try. The lunch board offers homemade soups, salads, quiches, and sandwiches, but the pecan-crusted chicken and biscuit sandwich topped with peach slaw is the standout.

Crown & Anchor

$$

Situated within the Hamilton Princess, the Crown & Anchor offers everything from quiet afternoon tea to happy hour specials complete with live music. For breakfast, choose from their à la carte menu or sample the buffet (reservations strongly recommended for breakfast and brunch). The casual lunch and dinner menu focuses on island pub favorites like fish and chips or curries, as well as small bites perfect for sharing. Business people, hotel guests, couples, and families will enjoy the outdoor seating and harborside views. Be sure to take a stroll along the marina after your meal.

Devil's Isle Cafe

$$

Devil’s Isle may take its name from Bermuda’s original moniker, but nothing is intimidating about the restaurant's inventive menu of coffees and globally inspired fare. Tapas-style plates—like the standout rockfish taco or flash-fried calamari—are made for sharing around the communal table at the heart of this small buzzy spot. Start your morning with a fresh flaky pastry and a cup of small-batch coffee, roasted right on the island. Or build a nourishing bowl with ingredients like puffed amaranth seeds, kelp noodles, and raw cacao. Next door, the takeout counter offers the restaurant’s signature salads and sandwiches to go, along with coffee and super green smoothies.

The Dockyard Café

$

This cozy breakfast/lunch spot just across from the Visitors Center in the Dockyard offers a decent selection of breakfast and lunch items, but the real draw is their Filipino menu. Try traditional savory dishes like longsilog (sweet pork sausage), bagnet (crispy pork belly), and sizzling tuna sisig, or their dessert ube Swiss roll, made with sponge cake and purple sweet potato. For something lighter, choose a speciality coffee and take your pick of flaky delights from their fresh-baked pastry selection.

Flanagan's Irish Pub

$$

Bermuda's only Irish pub is a dining, music, and sports hot spot with a balcony overlooking Hamilton Harbour. Sip on a handcrafted cocktail while you peruse their extensive menu of pub fare, seafood, and traditional Irish dishes like steak and Guinness pie and Dublin coddle (pork sausages simmered in broth, topped with a Guinness mustard glaze). Down the hall, you’ll find their sister bar, Outback Sports Bar, with a lengthy list of libations, booths, and large-screen TVs showing the latest games. On weekend evenings, there is either live music or a DJ ready to get everyone out on the dance floor.

Along with a wide variety of sweets there is also a selection of savory items, including salads, hot dogs, and panini. There's also a location inside the Bookmart at Brown & Co. with a more condensed menu.

Huckleberry

$$$

Set inside the lush interior of the historic Rosedon Hotel, Huckleberry features classic Southern dishes paired with Bermudian flavors. The menu changes based on what's in season, and there are plenty of options that spotlight local ingredients including bountiful salads and fresh takes on favorites like the Huckleberry tacos. Seating out on the wide veranda overlooking the lush gardens of the hotel makes for a first-class dining experience. The restaurant also serves a popular weekend brunch.

Island Brasserie

$$$$

The signature restaurant of the Rosewood Bermuda resort, Island Brasserie is a classic steak house with a modern atmosphere that captures the historic vibe of the island. The menu is a celebration of international cuisine, with a large focus on steak, of course (one of their classic plates is a delectable chateaubriand that serves two), as well as locally sourced seafood. If you aren't swept away by the stunning views of the Harrington Sound, the mural of harbors by artist Gerard Henderson, originally commissioned by Pan American Airways founder Juan Trippe in the 1960s, may do the job. Dress code is resort casual, but dinner requires you to smarten up a bit.

Lattes Bermuda

$

What this little café lacks in parking, it makes up for with its extensive drinks menu—the closest you'll find to that ubiquitous American chain. There’s a wide selection of bubble teas, hot and iced coffees, frappuccinos, refreshers, and more. Grab a seat on the cozy patio and enjoy a drink and a fresh-baked pastry in the afternoon sun.

Mamma Mia

$

After gaining a solid following while running the café at Crystal Cave, Stefano Barioni has taken his award-winning fish sandwich and opened Mamma Mia at the Hamilton Parish Workmen's Club, or Crawl Club, as it is more commonly known. While the fresh, local fish sandwich is the standout, there is a large menu that includes breakfast specials and a variety of freshly cooked seafood choices. There are a few outdoor tables for seating.

Sol i Mar

$$

The signature restaurant of Coco Reef Resort, Sol i Mar, Spanish for \"sun and sea,\"  lives up its name: the floor-to-ceiling windows provide excellent views of the sun-drenched south shore, while their contemporary seafood menu proudly features fresh locally-caught seafood. Table for two? Start by sharing tapas platters featuring shrimp, calamari, and chorizo, before moving on to seafood paella. To finish, traditional rum cake for dessert. The open atmosphere here has a slight Mediterranean influence, but the piece de resistance? It's the perfect setting for a romantic meal and a glass of wine from their extensive wine list, which features labels from around the world.

Speciality Inn

$

You may have to wait in line a few minutes to snag a table, but you can't beat Speciality Inn for satisfying, reasonably priced meals. With cozy tables and a handful of booths, this cheerful place is a favorite of locals and families. The large, no-frills menu features everything from pizza to burgers to sushi. Dine with locals starting at 7 am for a homestyle breakfast with all the trimmings; on Saturday, feast on traditional Bermuda codfish and potatoes until 11:30 am.

Temptations

$

This busy café that has been a St. George's mainstay for 20 years is known for its delicious homemade cakes and baked goods—the oversized key lime muffins, scones, and slices of cake are some of the standouts. And the hearty sandwiches, both for breakfast and lunch, round out a visit here. They are made-to-order and piled with tasty ingredients, such as the Ships Point sub, which comes with heaps of roast beef, turkey, ham, fresh coleslaw, and pickles, all on a pillowy soft sub roll. The new location, just west of Penno's Wharf, has outdoor seating on the patio.
