2 Best Restaurants in The Southern Out Islands, Bahamas

Upstairs in the Cape Santa Maria Beach House, guests enjoy sweeping vistas of the turquoise bay during the day and bobbing boat lights in the evening, along with the gentle sounds of the sea. Breakfast can be light with yogurt parfait and a seasonal fruit medley, or a splurge with banana bread French toast topped with caramelized plantains or Bahamian-style eggs Benedict. Sit under a colorful umbrella on the oceanfront deck for lunch with a pizza, wrap, or fancy salad. For dinner, delight in Caribbean coconut shrimp, fresh grouper, or Bahamian lobster tail—just don't miss the chocolate drizzled rum cake! Full bar service is available in the open-air, screened-in oceanfront bar, and a lively happy hour takes place every evening from 5 to 7, with complimentary conch fritters. This is one of the best spots on the island to grab a drink and watch the sunset.

Charming and experienced chef Bruno and his capable team do a superb job pleasing upmarket American and European palates. Dine in the cool inside or on the stone terrace. For breakfast, browse the buffet or order a full breakfast from the menu. Lunch includes a choice of conch chowder, hearty sandwiches, burgers, and salads. For dinner, the kitchen prepares the freshest fish in a variety of ways, along with Bahamian lobster tail, steak, pork tenderloin, and a build-your-own pizza with a variety of toppings to choose from. Fresh fruit and ice cream make for a great hot-weather dessert, and the liqueur coffees are delicious. You can order from the bar menu until 9 pm or have pizza delivered to your room.
