16 Best Restaurants in Bermuda

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.

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.

Dressed in bright pink, the Tuck Shop stands out against its neighboring stores in stark contrast.

Proprietor Alicia Tucker also carries an eclectic mix of gifts and souvenirs and natural apothecary items.

After your caffeine fix, come here for the craft beer from Dockyard Brewing Company and selection of wine on tap. There's plenty of seating including outside at the sidewalk tables.

Devil’s Isle may take its name from Bermuda’s original moniker, but nothing is intimidating about the restaurant's inventive menu of coffees and globally inspired fare. Tapas-style plates—like the standout rockfish taco or flash-fried calamari—are made for sharing around the communal table at the heart of this small buzzy spot. Start your morning with a fresh flaky pastry and a cup of small-batch coffee, roasted right on the island.

Next door, the takeout counter offers the restaurant’s signature salads and sandwiches to go, along with coffee and super green smoothies.

They also accept cash only.

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.
