67 Best Restaurants in Turks and Caicos Islands

This locally beloved open-air spot is tucked away amid tall tamarind and neem trees in a courtyard garden behind the historical Salt Raker Inn and serves simply prepared, local dishes such as grilled grouper and snapper, conch, and lobster. Be sure to try the grits if you’re around for breakfast. There's free Wi-Fi in the restaurant.

Elegant and beautiful, this swanky restaurant at Seven Stars Resort is one of only a few on the island with AC if you decide not to sit on the attractive outdoor patio. Begin your evening with a beverage on The Deck, and then move over to experience innovative, artfully prepared food. You may choose to start with the beef tenderloin done with a potato rissole and a Cabernet reduction, or the tiger shrimp beggar’s purse with its Asian influences. When in season, the lobster, among the best on the island, is served with a delicious rum-butter sauce. Seven also hosts a private mixology class on Tuesdays and Thursdays where their expert bartenders teach you how to make one of their most popular drinks, book in advance because spaces are limited.

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.

Stelle serves an eclectic cuisine with an Asian influence while incorporating island touches. Enjoy the elegant fine dining in a casual setting overlooking the infinity pool at the Wymara Resort.

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. 

Located at the over 180-year-old Turks Head Inne, this restaurant is filled with old-world charm; the rich wood accents have been maintained, as well as much of the architectural detailing, some of it borrowed from decommissioned ships. Meals are served on a covered patio or overlooking the ocean on an elevated terrace, and service is friendly yet efficient—not quite as laid-back as might be experienced in other venues. The chef uses his expertise in Asian cuisine to create a wonderful fusion of island delicacies, incorporating lots of fresh vegetables and seafood. 

Yoshi’s offers excellent sushi in an indoor, air-conditioned setting or open-air on a lovely streetside patio. Their menu includes a wide variety of sushi such as conch rolls, lobster rolls, and fresh game-fish sashimi, in addition to delicious specialties such as the Volcano, the Mexican, and the Caribbean. You will also find udon noodle soups, bento boxes, crispy fish salad, and chicken teriyaki.
