We didn't eat out much: One night at Fourways and one night at the much more contemporary Blu, at the nearby Belmont Hills golf course.
Friends had us to dinner one night and the other 2 nights we ate at home.
I really do not like going out at night on those small and twisty roads.
My primary restaurant recommendation is therefore "the deli counter at Lindo's". In the rental apt where we stayed for our last three nights, our culinary high-point was locally produced Portuguese "morcella" AKA blood sausage. Most readers would gag -- but this is actually my favourite local speciality.

cmcfong: I sent you a FB msg w/ a link to photos of Blu and Fourways.
Album also shows our lovely apt rental for the latter part of the trip -- Barrule, on Harbour Road, booked through Bermuda Getaway. Highly recommended.

I just returned last night and it was a fabulous trip. I stayed at Fourways and enjoyed the fantastic weather. Just a very happy time. The highlight was the Holiday Boat Parade, seventy eight Bermuda boats decked out in lights followed by a wonderful fireworks display. Love Bermuda!!!!

I have stayed at a number of different places in Bermuda. My choice of accommodations depends on a lot of things (time of year, travel companions, etc). If I am traveling alone in the winter months, I really like the flexibility of close access to the ferry and the Bermuda Railway trail for walking. Fourways is a bargain compared to many places, it is clean, safe, and well maintained. The grounds are lovely. Every morning they bring me a tray of fresh fruit (pineapple, melons, strawberries, grapes), freshly baked pastries (croissants, muffins, danish) and a big pot of coffee. They also put a copy of the Royal Gazette on the tray. I love to start my morning sitting on the balcony or terrace reading the paper and enjoying breakfast. I don't need concierge type services or a lot of travel assistance. An added benefit is the on site restaurant has to be one of the top tables in Bermuda. The location of the property allows very easy access to a grocery store (rooms have microwaves and fridges), the ferry, the bus line, and the Bermuda Railway Trail. They have beach privileges at Coco Reef. So, I am a big fan of Fourways. I have probably stayed there ten times and will certainly return.
I wish I had some great photos of the boat parade to post, but they didn't come out too well. It was a real treat and I strongly encourage you to plan your visit for 2013 so you can enjoy it, too!
