Dining options range widely between haute cuisine and "down-home" tasty local specialties. For casual sophistication, opt for Kamalame Cay on Andros, Carriearl Restaurant on Great Harbour Cay, and Sabor at Resorts World Bimini. Most others serve Bahamian fare—fresh fish and lobster, grilled chicken, cracked (deep-fried) conch, and BBQ or fried pork with native sides (coleslaw, peas ’n' rice, and mac ‘n’ cheese). Ask your hotel in advance what place is open when; for dinner, most restaurants require a booking. In the hotter, rainy season, it’s best to dine in the cool indoors—away from flies and biting bugs. Colorful roadside bars and conch stands are a treat—and a cool way to mingle with the locals.
Every table has a nice ocean view at this warm and friendly beachfront restaurant and bar at the Seascape Inn. Owners Mickey and Joan McGowan do the baking and cooking themselves. If you are staying elsewhere, make sure to call at least one day ahead, if not more. Grilled chicken salad, burgers, sandwiches on kaiser rolls, and, at times, quesadillas, are ample lunch temptations which you can preorder for daily outings. Chicken in white wine–lime sauce, roast pork loin, grilled steaks, and fresh fish of the day are a few dinner sensations. Even if you're full, the chocolate ganache, Grand Marnier–chocolate cloud, and homemade ice creams should not be missed.
Also known as Greene's after its owner Ornald "Shine" Greene, this waterfront spot on Little Harbour is as close to nightlife as you'll get on Mangrove Cay—live music is rare (certainly there during homecoming and regatta festivals) but if the island's busy or a big group requests it, they'll arrange a live band. Dominoes and backgammon with reggae and calypso tunes add to the upbeat ambience as you view the harbor, sip a beer or Goombay Smash, and tuck into the daily catch of fish, conch, and lobster. The fresh ceviche is excellent. Shine (or Greene) is one of Mangrove Cay's top fishing guides for bonefish, bottom or deep-sea fishing. He's known for his spontaneous generosity and will instantly arrange a snorkeling, spearfishing, or fishing tour for the next day—assuming he's not already booked. Shine carves little fish out of conch shells, another highlight to treasure along with his extraordinary hospitality. Open for lunch and dinner.
Swain's Cay Lodge's beachside Reefside Restaurant & Bar is a local dining and cocktail-sipping hot spot serving delicious authentic Bahamian cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, supported with a well-stocked bar. (Nonguests are welcome, but book in advance.) The decor is modern contemporary and big windows and glass doors give it a bright ambience. Dine inside in air-conditioned comfort or on the beachside deck. With staff exuding friendly, professional hospitality, the owner Cheryl has set a high standard for the dining as well.
