Grand Bahama Island Restaurants

The Grand Bahama dining scene stretches well beyond traditional Bahamian cuisine. The resorts and shopping centers have eateries that serve up everything from West Indian rotis to fine Continental and creative Pacific Rim specialties. For a true Bahamian dining experience, look for restaurants named after the owner or cook—such as Billy Joe's, Geneva's, or Mary Ann's.

A native fish fry takes place every Wednesday evening at Smith's Point, east of Port Lucaya (taxi drivers know the way). Here you can sample fresh fish, sweet-potato bread, conch salad, and all the fixings cooked outdoors at the beach. It's a great opportunity to meet local residents and taste real Bahamian cuisine—and there's no better place than seaside under the pines and palms.

A gratuity or "service charge" (15%) is often added to the bill automatically; be sure to check your total before adding an additional tip.

  • 1. Flying Fish GastroBar

    $$$

    Flying Fish offers one of the finest culinary experiences in the Caribbean. You'll find quality service with an eclectic collection of seafood and Bahamian favorites, made with only the best, sustainable ingredients, and prepared in a way that gives you gourmet and comfort food on the same plate. The owners, originally from Canada, are local couple Tim and Rebecca Tibbits—Tim being the genius behind the food, Rebecca the genius behind the wine. Ask Rebecca for a pairing, and she will find something to both delight and surprise you (sake or tequila may be her choice). The restaurant is on the canal front and has an ambience that is both romantic and contemporary. Sit indoors or outside on the patio or on the floating dock and choose from the tapas menu or from their extensive selection of gourmet burgers. There's also crispy skin snapper, chorizo jambalaya risotto, or their signature 72-hour beef short rib with Parmesan mashed potato. Happy hour on the dock is nightly from 5 to 7 pm, weather permitting, and Sunday night on the dock, chef Tim himself sings and plays guitar.
