Don't let the outdoor dining on rustic wood tables fool you—Harbour Island and Eleuthera offer sophisticated cuisine that rivals that of any restaurants in Nassau. Although the place is usually casual and you never have to wear a tie, food is taken seriously. Of course, island specialties such as cracked conch, barbecued pork or chicken, and the succulent Bahamian lobster most locals call crawfish still abound, but you'll also find cappuccinos, steak, and lobster ravioli. Stop by Harbour Island's conch shacks on Bay Street north of Government Dock, where you can eat fresh conch salad on decks next to the water.
Most eateries are closed Sunday. Many restaurants have entertainment on regular nights so plan your dining schedule accordingly.
Take in the sunset view as you enjoy a glass of wine and an island-inspired pizza or seafood at 1648. Located at French Leave Resort, the restaurant boasts a sweeping view of the Bight of Eleuthera and its stunning turquoise water. The chic atmosphere is just as stunning at night, when the pool becomes a deep, vivid blue as part of the resort's "Dark Sky Paradise," which aims to reduce light pollution, increasing star visibility.
Queen's Hwy., Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera Island, Bahamas
Briland's only Italian restaurant offers a change of pace from the island's standard fare, and a change of scenery, too. It's located at the top of the hill at Romora Bay Resort, with a dockside terrace where you can take in the sunset while sipping one of its exclusively imported Italian wines. Chef and owner Manfredi Mancini's hearty portions of fried calamari and pasta e fagioli (with beans) don't disappoint, and the seafood entrées are always a good choice.
Colebrooke St., Dunmore Town, Harbour Island, Bahamas
Located on the western end of the island with a view of the harbor, this charming coffee shop has lots of space to sit and relax while you enjoy a latte and a sandwich. They also serve non-dairy drinks like smoothies and organic juices, plus a variety of breakfast sandwiches, salads, pastries, and açaí bowls.
For lunch with a view, try Coral Sands' oceanfront bar and restaurant, just steps from the pink-sand beach. Executive Chef Ken Gomes creates delicious lunch options that go perfectly with a tropical cocktail or a glass of white wine. In addition to seafood options like conch fritters, lobster rolls, and grouper sandwiches, the restaurant also serves fresh salads and gourmet pizzas.
The Blue Bar at Pink Sands is a famed, open-air restaurant and bar featuring blue and white decor which complements the pristine pink sand and clear, blue ocean that the restaurant overlooks. You'll have an unbeatable view while sipping one of their signature cocktails and enjoying fish tacos, a tuna poke bowl, or any of the other island-inspired menu options. The Blue Bar also serves breakfast and during the summer, it is open for dinner.
You never know which actor or rock star you'll rub elbows with—Richard Gere and Dave Matthews like to dine here—at the Hemingway-esque bar, but none of it matters once you've moved on to the dining room and are under the spell of Swedish chef Vincent Vitlock, whose dishes soar with a Southeast Asian flair. Standouts include the goat cheese ravioli with shrimp, spicy crab capellini, and banana upside-down cake. One of the Caribbean's top dining destinations, The Landing also offers an impressive wine selection. If the weather is nice, request a romantic table on the porch.
Splendid harbor views and a transporting Mediterranean-loggia vibe create the perfect backdrop for Chef Jennifer Learmonth's California Continental menu, infused with tropical accents. Imaginative dishes include Junkanoo capellini and curried New Zealand lamb. The Rock House also takes its drinks seriously, with an extensive list showcasing California boutique wines. Dining here is refined and serene, thanks to the flawless service, so linger over coffee and one of the decadent desserts. Try the restaurant at lunchtime for a peaceful meal with a spectacular view.
Despite its barefoot-casual environment (old window shutters used as tabletops, sand in the floor's crevices), the menu at this open-air beach bistro is a sophisticated mix of Bahamian and European cuisine, with items that change daily based on the availability of fresh local products. Expect things like lobster salad, specialty pizzas, and fresh fish prepared with some sort of delectable twist. This place may look like a beach shack, but everything has been well planned—the owners even imported a French chef to satisfy discriminating palates. Try to grab a table on the outdoor deck, which has a fantastic view of the beach. Locals and visitors keep this place hopping year-round, and there's live music on Saturday night.
Banks Rd., Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera Island, Bahamas
With a menu of delicious Bahamian, Asian, and American dishes along with stunning views of the ocean, Wild Orchids Waterfront Restaurant provides one of the best dining experiences in Rock Sound. The restaurant is a restored beach house that's more than a century old, and its interior has a traditional Bahamian design that's comforting and familiar. The large dining deck is just steps away from the beach, and there are beach chairs available if you want to relax and watch the waves after dining.
