Eating Out On Grand Bahama
An internationally known and loved vacation destination, quite
naturally, Grand Bahama Island has many fine eateries. Seafood
figures prominently on most menus, as it is sure to be high
quality and fresh. The culinary traditions of the island should
certainly be explored, but there are also many restaurants
featuring international favorites.
For a fine dining experience, Luciano’s, found at Port Lucaya
Marketplace and Marina, should not be missed. In business for
more than 20 years, this restaurant offers classical cuisine
from both Europe and the island in a formal setting that is
sure to make the evening a special one. The dishes are made of
the freshest ingredients, with each plate cooked to order.
Diners can choose to start their meal with such luxuries as
Beluga Molossol Caviar, Foie Gras, Oysters Rockefeller, or with
such appetizers as Cassolette d'Escargots, Cocktail de Crevettes
Rose, which are jumbo shrimp on a bed of lettuce with a
specially created red sauce, or Coquilles St. Jacques
Provencales, which are deep sea scallops sautéed with garlic
butter and served with tomato concasse.
In addition to delicious house soups and creative salads, there
are many delightful choices on the menu. Seafoods and pastas,
fine meats, freshly prepared vegetable side dishes and a host
of delectable, elegant desserts and fine after dinner coffee
selections make for a dining experience to remember.
The Prop Club, in addition to being a sports bar and dance
club, boasts of offering the biggest burger on the island.
Portobellos offers a wealth of Italian dishes. The Corner
Bistro and Bar, at Count Basie Square in Port Lucaya, offers a
wide variety of foods, specializing in Asian and international
cuisine. Open from 5:30pm to 11pm every day, except for
Wednesdays, they offer daily specials. In addition to their
dinner-sized entrees, they also offer pizza, sandwiches, soups
and salads.
Club Carib Bahamas is a beach bar and restaurant that serves
wonderful seafood appetizers, including fried calamari, shrimp
scampi carib, and a variety of sandwiches, salads, and entrees,
including a delicious mango jerk chicken. This place welcomes
children, and has a children’s menu. There’s live calypso music
on the weekends, making for an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere.
The Ferry House Restaurant is one of the most upscale
restaurants in the entire Bahamas. Found in the Port Lucaya
area of Grand Bahama Island, it serves continental classic
cuisine of the highest quality, as well as a sort of culinary
fusion that brings together Caribbean flavors with a more
globally influenced cuisine than typical of continental
cuisine.
Because the freshest ingredients are used, the menu varies with
what is in season. Food is cooked to order, and from start to
finish, diners should expect to spend about two hours at their
meal. The restaurant opens daily for lunch from noon until 2:30
pm and is open for dinner every day, except for Monday, for
dinner between the hours of 6pm and 10pm. This is a truly
unique culinary experience, and if at possible, should be
included in your dining plans.
From formal to casual, there are many satisfying dining
experiences to be had on Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas.
You’ll remember the food long after the tan has faded.
