New Providence and Paradise Islands Restaurants

Foodies will delight in New Providence's restaurant range, from shabby shacks serving up the kind of food you'd find in any Bahamian's kitchen, to elegant eateries where jackets are required and the food rivals that found in any major city. You'll recognize celebrity chef names like Todd English, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and Nobu Matsuhisa, all of whom have restaurants on Paradise Island.

Eating out can get expensive, particularly in resort restaurants, so a budget-friendly strategy is having brunch at one of the myriad all-you-can-eat buffets at the larger hotels on Paradise Island and Cable Beach, then a light snack to hold you over until dinnertime.

Note: A gratuity (15%) is often added to the bill automatically.

  • 1. Bahamian Cookin' Restaurant

    $

    Three generations of Bahamian women treat patrons as if they were guests in their own home. And the Bahamian food whipped up in the kitchen is as close to homemade as you can get in a restaurant. This simple locale is bustling with local professionals during the week and has also become a popular "off the beaten path" spot for cruise ship passengers. Grandmother Mena swears their conch fritters are the "conchiest" you'll find. Takeout-only breakfast is served weekdays.

  • 2. The Poop Deck

    $$

    Just east of the bridges from Paradise Island and a quick cab ride from the center of town is this favorite local haunt that is always busy. Start with the conch fritters, then move on to the fish (it's usually served head-to-tail, so if you're squeamish, ask your waiter to have the head cut off before it comes out on your plate). The Seafood Lover's Delight is another great choice. The extensive wine list will provide the perfect accompaniment to any dish. Save room for guava duff and a calypso coffee made with secret ingredients. The restaurant's popularity has resulted in a second Poop Deck on Cable Beach's west end, but, for residents, this is still the place.
