Fodor's Expert Review Café Matisse
Low-slung settees, stucco arches, and reproductions of the eponymous artist's works set a casual and refined tone at this restaurant owned by a husband-and-wife team. He's Bahamian, she's northern Italian, and the fare perfectly blends the two cultures. Sit in the ground-floor garden under large white umbrellas or dine inside the century-old house for lunch or dinner. Start with the warm Parmesan terrine, then dive into freshly made pasta or risotto with prawns, or the filet drizzled with a mouth watering green peppercorn sauce. Be sure to save room for dessert and the delicious handmade cookies that come with coffee.
