Harbour Island Restaurants

The main feature of Harbour Island's restaurants is there are plenty to choose from and they offer some of the finest food in the Bahamas. The wide variety of restaurants in such close proximity is virtually unmatched on any other Bahamian out island.

Menus range from fine cuisine to local Bahamian fare. Dress codes are usually quite casual with a few instances of semi-formal. Each restaurant has their own unique presentation of Bahamian atmosphere with many offering unforgettable views of the island and its surroundings.

This is only a partial listing of the restaurants you will find on Harbour Island. Finding the other restaurants on this small island is very easy to do - just ask around. It's even more enjoyable and rewarding to spend a few hours touring the island on a golf cart and seeing them firsthand. Ask to look at their menus when stopping by. Some post their daily specials on chalk boards at their entrance.

It is recommended to call ahead to find out what their serving times are and to make dinner reservations in advance.
