34 Best Restaurants in Bermuda

Background Illustration for Restaurants

What's incredible about the Bermuda restaurant scene isn't so much the number or quality of restaurants, but the sheer variety of cuisines represented on the menus, especially considering that Bermuda is such a tiny island. It hosts a medley of global cuisines—British, French, Italian, Portuguese, American, Caribbean, Indian, Chinese, and Thai—palatable reminders of Bermuda's history as a colony.

Many superior independent and resort restaurants attract a constant and steady stream of internationally acclaimed chefs, assuring that the latest techniques and trends are menu regulars. At the same time, virtually all restaurant menus list traditional Bermudian dishes and drinks, so you have the opportunity to taste local specialties at almost any meal.

As you might expect, methods are not all that's imported. Roughly 80% of Bermuda's food is flown or shipped in, most of it from the United States. This explains why restaurant prices are often higher here than on the mainland.

Nevertheless, there are a number of delicious local ingredients that you should look for. At the top of the list is extraordinary seafood, like lobster (best during September through March), crab, oysters, mussels, clams, red snapper, rockfish, tuna, and wahoo. Additionally, many chefs work with local growers to serve fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, leeks, tomatoes, corn, broccoli, and Bermuda onions (one of the island's earliest exports); and in the fruit department, strawberries, cherries, bananas, and loquats (small yellow fruit used for preserves). Imports notwithstanding, Bermudian cuisine really begins and ends with local ingredients and traditional preparations, and therein lies the island's culinary identity.

While in Bermuda, try to eat like a local and put a couple of traditional dishes to the test. Bermuda is a seafood lover’s paradise, with favorite dishes including mussel pie, shark hash, and codfish and bananas. As for soups, you can go for fish chowder, conch chowder, or traditional Portuguese black-eyed bean soup. Don’t forget to kick back and relax after your meal with a rum swizzle, a Black and Coke, or a Dark ’n' Stormy. Ginger beer—which is quite different from ginger ale—remains the island’s most popular soda for the kids.

Bailey's Ice Cream Parlor

$ Fodor's choice

Choose from over a dozen homemade all-natural ice creams at this iconic parlor easily identified by its bright turquoise exterior. There are plenty of fun flavors for kids, including Shrek (noted by its customary green color—don't worry it tastes good!), plus classics like butter pecan and their signature Oreo sweet cream. You can also have your ice cream in a sundae, such as a Dusty Road—ice cream sprinkled with malt powder, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry—or whipped into a milkshake. Take your cone and enjoy a stroll through the gardens that connect the ice cream parlor to adjacent Crystal and Fantasy Caves. 

The Botanist Café & Garden Lounge

$ Fodor's choice

Set in a quiet corner of the Botanical Gardens, The Botanist Café is an ideal spot to recharge with a hot or cold drink and a snack after exploring the historic grounds or browsing the impressive exhibits at the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art.

l'Artisan

$ Fodor's choice

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.

The Swizzle Inn Pub

$ Fodor's choice

Swizzle Inn created one of Bermuda's most hallowed drinks, the Rum Swizzle: gold and black rum, triple sec, orange and pineapple juices, and bitters. This place is a local landmark, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and plenty of decent affordable pub fare. With so many pitchers of the island's national drink being consumed day and night, there's never a dull moment. Join the countless others who have left their mark over the years; it's customary to pin a business card or scribble your name on the pub's colorful walls. Breakfast is also served from 11 am on the weekends.

Tuck Shop

$ Fodor's choice

Dressed in bright pink, the Tuck Shop stands out against its neighboring stores in stark contrast. The sweet little shop, located in the Heron Bay Plaza, puts a focus on sustainability, featuring slow fashions made by local designers, and sweet treats that are handmade and to die for (the lemon bars and artfully decorated cookies are for-sure winners). Proprietor Alicia Tucker also carries an eclectic mix of gifts and souvenirs and natural apothecary items.  

The Astwood Arms

$

At this Victorian-style bar and restaurant renovated from a former jewelry shop, the menu lists traditional gastropub offerings, including Scotch eggs and balti chicken pie (flaky pastry filled with spiced chicken). It is a surprisingly child-friendly spot, with a kids' menu that features mini burgers, fish fingers, and grilled chicken with peas. On evenings and weekends, the large, impressively decorated wooden bar that dominates an entire side of the room fills up with happy-hour and late-night revelers.

If you're feeling peckish on a night out, this is the place to come, as food is served until midnight every night. The bar is open until 3 am nightly, serving cocktails and other concoctions.

Buzz N Go

$

These gas station outposts of Buzz Cafe serve up familiar fast food fare such as hamburgers and fries, but you can also get a veggie-filled burrito bowl, fresh made sushi and wraps, as well as a delicious variety of healthy smoothies. But it's also a great place to stop for a caffeine fix, as they brew up the company's signature Devil's Isle coffee. The Crawl Hill location is walking distance from both Shelly Bay Beach and the start of the Bailey's Bay section of the Railway Trail, which has an entrance across from the gas station.

Chopsticks

$

A mainstay of Bermuda’s dining scene, Chopsticks continues to satisfy both locals and visitors with its diverse and expansive menu. Alongside traditional Cantonese, Hunan, Mandarin, and Szechuan favorites, you’ll find freshly prepared Filipino, Indian, Thai, and Vietnamese dishes. Top picks include sweet and sour chicken, Beijing BBQ ribs, and the house specialty: Peking duck. Vegetarian? Substitutions are easily accommodated, and classic dishes can be made “lighter,” prepared with olive oil and paired with garlic brown rice. The striking decor features a floor-to-ceiling waterfall, large bronze statues, and a hand-painted mural. Prefer to dine at home? Takeout is available from the lobby, just across from the main entrance.

Coconut Rock and Yashi Sushi Bar

$

A literal hidden gem beneath Hamilton’s main shopping street, Coconut Rock and its stand-alone sushi bar Yashi are popular for their casual atmosphere and international menu. Appetizers like tres queso nachos and Cajun turbot bites are designed to share. Ask about the catch of the day, or choose from a selection of special salads, sandwiches, and main course meals like lemon-pepper chicken or rib-eye steak. The creative signature maki—like spicy Hot Rock or fried Triple Delight—can be ordered on either side of the partition. In the evening, the bar becomes a happy hour hub with music, cocktails, and friendly banter. The diverse menu, good-sized portions, and personable service make it worth the wait for a table.

The Cottage Café & Bistro

$

Tucked inside the Washington Mall, this café run by a husband-and-wife team is best known for its outstanding breakfasts, changing lunch specials, and friendly service. Try the plate-sized fluffy pancake topped with homemade candied walnuts, or give the Azorean eggs Benedict, topped with crispy chorizo and fresh Portuguese cheese, a try. The lunch board offers homemade soups, salads, quiches, and sandwiches, but the pecan-crusted chicken and biscuit sandwich topped with peach slaw is the standout.

The Dockyard Café

$

This cozy breakfast/lunch spot just across from the Visitors Center in the Dockyard offers a decent selection of breakfast and lunch items, but the real draw is their Filipino menu. Try traditional savory dishes like longsilog (sweet pork sausage), bagnet (crispy pork belly), and sizzling tuna sisig, or their dessert ube Swiss roll, made with sponge cake and purple sweet potato. For something lighter, choose a speciality coffee and take your pick of flaky delights from their fresh-baked pastry selection.

House of India

$

Considered “Backatown” by locals, House of India’s award-winning offerings are worth the short trek from the town center. In 2025 the establishment marked its 30th year serving Northern and Southern Indian cuisine, focusing on islander favorites, like butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, beef curry, and a wide array of vegetarian options that can be spiced to your preference. Don’t forget to add a side of garlic butter naan! Take out, dine in, or sample their eclectic menu during the weekday lunch buffet, which showcases over 30 items from their à la carte menu.

The Jamaican Grill

$

Journey outside the familiar city center to North East Hamilton and Court Street and you'll find Jamaican food at its best. The Thomas family is proud of their Jamaican heritage and wants everyone to taste Caribbean classics like jerk and curry chicken, fried dumplings, and beans and rice. The shop also provides tasty homemade cakes and cookies. It's no-frills food, but the prices are good and the portions are huge. The take-out service makes for a great beach picnic. This firm favorite with the locals also has a branch in Hamilton Parish at the Bailey's Bay Cricket Club.

What this little café lacks in parking, it makes up for with its extensive drinks menu—the closest you'll find to that ubiquitous American chain.

Mamma Mia

After gaining a solid following while running the café at Crystal Cave, Stefano Barioni has taken his award-winning fish sandwich and opened Mamma Mia at the Hamilton Parish Workmen's Club, or Crawl Club, as it is more commonly known. While the fresh, local fish sandwich is the standout, there is a large menu that includes breakfast specials and a variety of freshly cooked seafood choices. There are a few outdoor tables for seating.

Munchies by the Sea

$

If you're in the mood for some good, homey Bermudian fare, search out this bright orange and blue waterside fast food restaurant. Make sure to try the signature Johnny Dog, a hot dog wrapped in a local favorite—Johnny Bread, a sweet, fluffy pan-fried bread. For something a bit heartier, try the fresh fish dinner (deep-fried fish) served with macaroni and cheese or peas and rice and a dinner roll. There are tables to sit and watch the visiting boats in the harbor.

Take a break from the heat and cool off with a scoop (or three) of ice cream from Nannini's Haagen Dazs. Try one of their 24 flavors in a waffle cone, or have it turned into a milkshake!

Pssst

$

Located across from the container docks on the eastern end of Front Street, this unassuming take-out spot is best known for its build-your-own pizza and epic burgers—its signature patty comes with melted cheese, caramelized onion and bacon relish, and their secret sauce (which is also available to slather all over your pizza, if you so desire). Along with pizzas and burgers, the shop also adds its signature touch to salads, subs, and treats, including homemade brownies and ice cream. The pizzas also come available on a gluten-free crust. 

Rock Island Coffee

$

You'll likely smell the roasting of beans before you see this eclectic coffee shop that roasts all its coffee in-house. It's the perfect spot for aficionados that don't like to overcomplicate their coffee, and there's often a selection of homey baked goods to go along with your brew. There's seating inside on the mismatched chairs and couches, but grabbing a table out back on the secluded terrace is the ideal spot. This is a true café and is open only until noon. They also accept cash only.

Seaside Grill

$

When it comes to iconic Bermudian food, the battered fish sandwich reigns supreme. While Seaside Grill may be a simple take-out counter overlooking North Shore, it has perfected this towering sandwich and earned rave reviews. Choose from locally caught wahoo or mahimahi, and watch as they pile crispy spiced fish onto your choice of homemade bread. For a true local twist, try it on raisin bread with sliced onion, tartar sauce, and coleslaw. Seaside Grill also offers fresh fish and seafood on salads, fish dinners with two sides, hamburgers, and chicken wings. With locations in Devonshire and Southampton, it's a must-try for a taste of Bermuda.

$

Formerly Bermy Cuisine, Teaffany’s is a beloved all-day breakfast spot now run by longtime staffer Tiffany and her husband, Richard. Just a hop and a skip from the city’s bustling core, this cozy diner has become a neighborhood staple. Come lunchtime, expect a rush of buttoned-up professionals from nearby office towers, all after a late breakfast or a hearty midday bite.

Temptations

$

This busy café that has been a St. George's mainstay for 20 years is known for its delicious homemade cakes and baked goods—the oversized key lime muffins, scones, and slices of cake are some of the standouts. And the hearty sandwiches, both for breakfast and lunch, round out a visit here. They are made-to-order and piled with tasty ingredients, such as the Ships Point sub, which comes with heaps of roast beef, turkey, ham, fresh coleslaw, and pickles, all on a pillowy soft sub roll.
