Bahamas Restaurant Guide

With some of the most tropical fishing grounds in the world, it isn’t a surprise that the food in the Bahamas is as close to perfection as it comes. Broker Alice has just returned from a trip to the Bahamas and is here to give you her top 6 restaurant recommendations!

6. Spinnaker restaurant – Marsh Harbor, Treasure Cay

Positioned within tropical gardens with a  view of the beautiful marina at Treasure Cay. Ideal location for a pre-dinner cocktail followed by internationally inspired dishes prepared by a Bahamian chef! 

5. Cracker P’s – Abacos Island, Lubbers Quarters Cay

Located on the edge of a farm, accessible via boat only this is a great place to spend a few nights. Go on a nature trail before heading to Cracker P’s for a Kalik or a rum cocktail. Every 6/8 weeks there’s an unmissable full moon party.

4. Staniel Cay Yacht Club – Staniel Cay, Nassau

Anchor your boat amongst the nurse sharks and visit the yacht club for a mahi mahi fish sandwich before spending the afternoon swimming with the pigs at pig beach. 

3. The Jib Room – Marsh Harbor

Located next to a marina in Marsh Harbor, hope off your boat on the final night of your charter to enjoy a rib or bingo night with locals hopping off their boats for the evening. The atmosphere in this bar is really unbeatable in the Bahamas. Speak to other sailors about their personal Abacos insights to get some real insight into your Abacos sailing experience!

2. Twin Brothers Fish Fry – Arawak Cay, Nassau.

Located at Arawak Cay, you can find a truly authentic atmosphere of local vendors selling all types of different fish. I would recommend the fresh conch salad, freshly prepared in front of you. You can get anything that is truly authentic at any of these street vendors. Expect to pay between $20-$30 for an excellent meal. 

1. Grabbers – Marsh Harbor, Great Guana Cay

After a day of island hopping Grabbers, catch the sunset at grabbers with a Frozen grabber in hand. Relax and play games with friends or take advantage of the hammocks on the beach whilst watching the sunset in paradise!

Fine Dining in the French Riviera

It is well known by now that the French Riviera is one of the best places in the world to discover classic French cuisine. With the freshest regional fruits, vegetables, meats and herbs (that can be haggled for in the local Forville Market in Cannes) there is no doubt you will enjoy gourmet cuisine on your yacht charter. Yet, there are also some fantastic restaurants in this area that are sure to entice you to step off your yacht for the afternoon, and try some of the local delicacies! Here are some of our suggestions:

Do you want to live the highlife and experience some of the most sought after beach clubs in the world? In last week’s Caribbean Beach Club Guide, we looked at the top 10 beaches to explore when cruising the southern parts of the Bahamas. This week’s episode focuses on two of the most exclusive beach clubs and restaurants in the world, which have welcomed royalty, special dignitaries and celebrities alike. While filming ‘And God Created Women’ starring Brigitte Bardot in 1955, the director asked a fishermen if they could cook for the cast. This event sparked the birth of Club 55 in St Tropez and the revolution of the beach club into the phenomenon that we know today.
