The tastefully decorated contemporary dining room—mahogany-framed chairs and banquettes, soft-gold lights over the tables—is reminiscent of sophisticated big-city restaurants, and the food (from both the sea and land) that comes to the table is created by a culinary team dedicated to excellence. Ease into your meal with a bowl of island-style fish chowder; for an entrée, try one of their classics, such as Bermuda rockfish or beef tenderloin served with bone marrow aioli. If you save room for dessert, opt for the artisanal cheese selection or perhaps the gingerbread toffee pudding. There's also a great cocktail bar for a social martini or late-night digestif. And if you're looking for a romantic dinner, reserve the "snug corner," which is a table for two, tucked away out of sight of other diners.

A sleek bar and sophisticated decor provide an elegant backdrop for intimate dinners and classy power lunches. The steak-house classics, which feature flavorful aged beef and a variety of gourmet sides, are highly regarded; there's also plenty of fresh seafood on offer. Harry's Bar and Waterside Patio (look out for the huge marlin statue) are great places to mingle with the after-work crowd, and both areas can get especially busy on Friday; plan ahead to avoid the rush or reserve a quiet table in the corner.

This light-filled bakery that sells authentic French pastries is not only beautiful to look at but smells incredible. The traditional pastries include flaky, buttery croissants and soft, rich chocolate chip cookies and are all baked on the premises, as are the sourdough loaves, all using a specially imported French flour. There are also housemade sandwiches that come on the bakery's baguettes—Le Country, on walnut raisin bread with goat cheese, honey, and prosciutto, is simple but full of flavor. Grab a freshly brewed cup of coffee and a delectable treat, and enjoy the sights of Front Street from the communal table or at one of the sidewalk spots.

Tucked away in a narrow Hamilton alley, this family-favorite Italian restaurant has a warm yellow and brick interior and a crew of friendly waiters. Without a doubt the king of the menu is pizza—La Trattoria's pies are cooked in a brick, wood-burning pizza oven and can be garnished with over 20 inventive toppings.

This spot is usually packed with locals both at dinnertime and during the workday lunch rush, so it's best to reserve ahead.

The smartly dressed waitstaff, bustling atmosphere, and art-filled walls lend an authentic European feel to this beloved Front Street bistro. Chef Jonny Roberts, who has received multiple Best of Bermuda awards, takes great pride in Bolero's frequently updated brasserie menu, which in the past has featured snails, roast rack of lamb, and even black pudding. The restaurant often pivots into new territory, most recently with a tapas-style menu featuring traditional dishes like gambas pil pil (prawns in a garlic-infused olive oil sauce) and patatas bravas (spicy potatoes), as well as crispy fried churros (fried dough) with chocolate dipping sauce for dessert. Be sure to make a reservation, as this is a popular spot for business lunches and romantic dinners. On warm summer evenings, the harbor-view balcony is one of the best in Hamilton.
