At this breezy bistro on Grace Bay Beach, dine on a covered deck, on an open-air patio, or with your feet in the sand, surrounded by palm trees with the sound of lapping waves. The coffee-rubbed tuna appetizer—with a hint of wasabi—is the best, but also consider the fish-and-chips, beef tenderloin, and seasonal lobster, which is brought to the back door daily by local fishermen.
An institution on Provo for years, this brightly colored beach shack with live music is justly famous for its seafood and the island's freshest conch, which is fished fresh out of the shallows and broiled, spiced, cracked, or fried to absolute perfection. They also have Johnny fries, a local tradition of French fries with a black-bean-and-local-pepper sauce. Other options include a few chicken dishes, as well as shrimp, tacos, and lobster when in season. Bands play Wednesdays evenings and a DJ on Friday nights. There's a lively Sunday Funday on the beach starting just after noon.
Off the town's main drag, this restaurant sits on a stunning but quiet stretch of beach just north of Cockburn Town. The food goes beyond the usual Grand Turk fare and is some of the island's best. They have an international theme night buffet on Tuesdays, each week featuring the cuisine of a different country. The wonderful barbecue on Saturday nights, including live music beachside, is a must-do event for locals and visitors alike. This is also a good spot to enjoy live music. There's jazz on Friday nights, rake 'n' scrape on Saturdays, and there's a fantastic saxophonist on Sundays. Dine inside by candlelight or out under starry skies. During the high season there's a lot more on offer, including movie night on the beach, Japanese bento box dinners, and even oldies night with a musician from Salt Cay.
Dine alfresco while watching yachts sail in and out of the Turtle Cove Marina at this restaurant located well west of the hustle and bustle of Grace Bay. Casual and popular with families, Mango Reef serves standard island and American fare for lunch and dinner, including lots of conch, quesadillas, burgers, and salads. In season, they offer a special lobster menu for lunch and dinner.
The fish at this beachside bar and restaurant is as fresh as it gets—they’re located immediately next to the dock so they grab the best that's brought in from the sea each afternoon. The owner, Omar, is Jamaican-born and Turks and Caicos–raised, and the menu pays homage to both cultures with excellent conch salad as well as some of the best authentic jerk chicken and pork around. Grab a drink and lounge in the shallow ocean just steps away. Omar's also offers a combo lunch and water-sports package with Five Cays Watersports.
Aptly named after the large almond tree in the center of the restaurant, this Shore Club establishment is known for its comfort food. From short ribs to cheesy baked beef lasagna, the entire experience is meant to make you feel right at home.
Located in the heart of Grace Bay, this coffee store has all your favorite caffeinated options as well as tasty treats and satisfying breakfasts. With free Wi-Fi, this place is also great for getting some quick work done as well as people-watching.
For wonderfully traditional Italian food, this restaurant uses fresh heirloom tomatoes and herbs from the garden that surrounds the dining area. The restaurant has two distinct experiences: wood-fired pizza on the ground level and a full menu serving authentic Italian dishes upstairs in what many call the tree house. The pizza oven is fired up from 3 pm for a late-afternoon bite. This property's distant view of Grace Bay Beach has long been obliterated by newer buildings, but they've created a beautiful setting that gets even more special when the sun goes down and the twinkling fairy lights come on.
The casual yet gorgeous setting, with a patio and deck offering unobstructed views of Grace Bay, makes this one of the most popular dining venues on the island. At lunch, you can’t miss the conch, served however you prefer, but the mango shrimp salad is also excellent. Live music a couple of nights a week adds to the ambience.
With picture-postcard views of the intensely blue waters of Chalk Sound, the setting here is deliriously lovely. This is the only restaurant on Provo that offers an excellent authentic paella (if you order this, give it time—the flavors have to simmer). The menu also includes tapas, so you can enjoy a long lunch, indulging while you gaze at the gorgeous water. Dinner takes a little longer, as everything is made to order; you pick out your fish or meat, decide how you want it prepared, and choose a sauce for it. Try any one of their beef entrées, as they are all wonderful. If you want to experience the sound from the water, Las Brisas also has kayaks and paddleboards that you can rent to go around Chalk Sound.
Located at Arches on the Ridge, this small cafe is definitely not a spot to miss on your trip to Grand Turk. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Ridge Cafe has a menu full of options that will delight. Their huevos rancheros have received rave reviews from visitors, as have their fish tacos. The menu tends to change, as grocery options on Grand Turk can fluctuate, but this does not stop the Ridge Cafe from serving a delicious meal. The cafe also bakes bread, bagels, and buns on a regular, so if you're craving some fresh bread during your stay, you can call in to make an order.
At this casual local favorite, the standard fare includes everything from the local catch of the day, sandwiches, and island specialties to wings or nachos and beer along with other bar snacks. It's a casual place for lunch—the deck overlooks Turtle Cove Marina, where you may be lucky enough to see sharks passing by. Friday-night happy hour is very popular, but don’t take the table at the corner of the deck; several locals might get annoyed if you sit there. For dinner there is an excellent almond-crusted grouper. You can expect to have Lobster Night in season. Sit on the deck outside if you want to avoid the sports crowd enjoying the big-screen TVs that hang over the bar. They have a great souvenir T-shirt that you may want to purchase.
Offering indoor and outdoor seating just steps away from the beach, The Terrace offers a solid mix of upscale dishes and options like nachos, fish tacos and cheeseburgers. This place is usually packed, especially when there's a big game playing on multiple TVs around the bar, and although reservations are not necessary they are certainly recommended. There's also a kids' menu that offers snapper as well as the usual chicken fingers and pasta.
From a location overlooking the marina, the ever-popular Tiki Hut serves consistently tasty, value-priced meals in a fun atmosphere. Locals take advantage of the Wednesday-night chicken-and-rib special, and the lively bar is a good place to sample local Turk's Head brew. There's a special family-style menu, the best kids' menu on Provo. Don't miss pizzas made with the signature white sauce, or the jerk wings, coated in a secret barbecue sauce and then grilled—they're out of this world. The restaurant can be busy, with long waits for tables. It's part of a little drama on the island; 23 years ago they settled right on the water and then moved to a much larger location at the end of the marina. For you die-hard fans, they have moved “back to where it all began.” However, it is bigger and better than ever. Doug, one of the longtime owners, has upscaled the operation since it last sat here, offering four different seating options: lounge-style closest to the water, a beer garden picnic-table deck for regular fare, undercover A-frame indoor dining, and Bamboo Room poolside dining as an option for private parties.
