71 Best Restaurants in Bermuda

After a complete renovation, this beachside restaurant, named for the secluded bay and beach just steps from the dining room, brings fresh and simple takes on Mediterranean dishes reinvented with bold Asian flavors. Much of the ingredients are locally sourced and it's often worth waiting to hear the specials of the day, as Chef Guido and his team make the most of seasonal ingredients. Floor-to-ceiling windows afford absolutely stunning views across the north shore. Make sure to try one of the inventive cocktails and leave room for the affogato dessert—it's a must.

Two-time Best of Bermuda Gold award-winning Aurora restaurant at Newstead Belmont Hills Resort showcases the dedication of local farmers and fishermen, with an ocean-to-table menu that lets the main ingredients shine.

Aurora also caters to vegetarians and vegans with a small but thoughtful selection. For a scenic and convenient journey, a complimentary water shuttle is available to transport you between the restaurant and various points around Hamilton Harbour. Note: Aurora maintains a dress code—no flip-flops or shorts (Bermuda shorts are fine), and men are asked to wear a collared shirt.

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.

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.

The smartly dressed waitstaff, bustling atmosphere, and art-filled walls lend an authentic European feel to this beloved Front Street bistro.

If you order the house wine, ask for it to be served in one of their signature ceramic chicken pitchers. This spot is usually packed with locals, both at dinnertime and during the workday lunch rush, so it's best to reserve ahead.
