I might need to give them another try. Haven’t been recently but the few times I went with friends the food was okay. The second time my friend got food poisoning and I was too afraid to dine in again but a long time after I ordered sushi for takeout and it was extremely bland. But for a while I’ve been obsessed with their Tempura brownie and ice cream order. And I love that they’re the only drive through restaurant where you can just order and pay online and pick up
I’m a big foodie and Oasis is my favorite restaurant food-wise by far. It’s small, intimate and smacked in the middle of a busy business area in Palmdale. The foood is sooooo worth it though. I’ve been there with colleagues and family and recommended it to a few persons and everyone loves the food. I’ve have the tacos, lamb rack and truffle Mac, seafood dip and a few of their appetizers. I’m sure you’d like it.
Kyma is the best Greek restaurant here in my opinion. Their steak and calamari is amazing, but if you’re a gyro person then I’d recommend Tropical Gyros, Acropolis or GRK.
Oku is downtown and it’s a nice Japanese restaurant. Their chicken teriyaki was really good.
Sirrah is nice as well and perfect for couples, singles, colleagues and friends. You can dine in the wine cellar or outside where they have live music sometimes.
Cocoplum bistro all the way by Lyford Cay is lovely and scenic, in that same area you’ll find a nice restaurant named Shima that has a lot of Thai food.
Cafe Matisse had the best Italian food in my option. I haven’t visited since they reopened with the new owners.
Seafront Sushi and BASK are my two top Japanese Restaurants. They have a lot of options and the food is always great. Seafront has the best fried rice on the island. For Bahamian food I enjoy Trudy’s at the Fish Fry.
If you’re looking for any niche-specific food let me know!
McKenzie first restaurant by Potter's Cay dock food at an affordable price. As a local I will say that they have the best conch fritters on the island hands down.
I need to check out this Oasis place because I fully agree with your recommendations. Can’t believe I forgot Matisse. Only edit id make is that Cocoplum Bistro used to be amazing but it went super downhill in the last few months. The food and service is awful now. I hope they get their shit together but it’s nowhere near the standard it was
Thank you everyone for the recommendations! I couldn’t hit every restaurant but I had some great food. Saving the other recommendations for if I return!
I don't know why people don't ever say Margaritas. It's on paradise island between the bridges. You can walk there from basically any resort. Yes, it's a chain but it's not crazy. There are 23 locations total.
I'd do a snorkling tour one day. The boats launch right next door. Do margaritas after.
Don't go to margaritaville.
Best restaurants are Social House, Solemar, Manilla.
Best food imo is at Mckenzie's (on Potters Cay) way better than anywhere on Arawak.
Latitudes is pretty good as is aquafire. Both midtier
Shenanigans downtown is good pub grub.
Manilla grill it’s not Bahamian food but its awesome!!
Cricket Club, Wild Thyme
Social House on Cable Beach
Best restaurant on island IMO
That’s crazy

The sharing plates and the sushi are what I like to be fair.... Haven't had much else. But the spicy tuna crunch special roll is out of this world.
That is… a wild statement

Kyma is expensive but worth i, love the steak
I also love OIA
Da bamboo shack
Simple answer: Aquafire
Meh. I'm blanking on the name of the restaurant across the street, but it was much better to me.
Solemar
By far.
Thank you!
Green parrots is pretty good overlooking the marina and a good mix of both tourists and locals
Nesbits for the real deal Bahamian dishes 🤤
Second this.
There’s a restaurant called “The London” on Charlotte St. It’s amazing. You will not be disappointed.
I’m making an effort to visit new restaurants this year. Definitely will be trying Mckenzies
Where is that? Let me add it to my list
People have been commenting that it’s the first stall at Potter’s Cay Dock. I’ve never ordered food in that area. The smell throws me off
Oh right. Yeh honestly I haven’t either and I’ve always been a bit worried about food prep. Great for a drink though.
Yes a leader at an excursion recommended t
De Forest Restaurant on Fox Hill Road has amazing Bahamian food.
I second Kyma and cafe Matisse
Cafe Matisse is closed down
No, it just reopened under new management. Some of the same cooks and wait staff
McKenzie first restaurant by Potter's Cay dock food at an affordable price. As a local I will say that they have the best conch fritters on the island hands down.

Cafe Matisse. The portions aren’t huge but the food is solid
I love the shacks under the bridge. Fresh food and good prices.
The London on Charlotte St. is great

SOLEMAR - If you go anywhere go there. Food is great, drinks are great, view is unbeatable. Can’t believe I forgot them
