DESTINATIONS BAHAMAS | CARIBBEAN
FOOD & DRINK
Foodies and connoisseurs are extremely well catered for in the Bahamas, with everything from street stalls selling conch shellfish to top-notch restaurants. Said to be an aphrodisiac, conch is found in stews, curries, salads, fritters and chowder. Local tipples include Kalik beer and Sky Juice – a creamy cocktail of gin,
coconut water and sweetened condensed milk – and John Watling’s rum was widely available for even more cocktail concoctions. The enormous buffet at the Mosaic restaurant in Atlantis hotel The Cove
offered every breakfast option imaginable and then some – I indulged in sushi. Our five-course lunch at Graycliff was a gourmet affair, with staff detailing
flavours and nuances of each tipple as they poured glasses of various wines to accompany the fine cuisine. More local seafood was on the menu at the new Margaritaville Beach
Resort Nassau, along with margarita cocktails, naturally. The top suite is named after US singer Jimmy Buffett, best known for his song Margaritaville. There were more cocktails – including bright red Bahama Mamas – at the
Baha Mar mega-resort, which offers more than 20 eateries, from international restaurants to Airstream-style trailers on the beach and poolside shacks. Highlights included Katsuya by Starck for Japanese food, Shuang Ba for Chinese dishes and Costa for Mexican meals in cabanas overlooking pools of koi carp.
