4 Best Restaurants in The Blight, Turks and Caicos Islands

The setting is chic with white fabrics blowing in the wind, diners dressed for clubbing, and tables surrounding a courtyard with views of the lighted pool. It's as if a small piece of South Beach has been transported to the tropics, albeit with an old-world flair. Even the food is chic; the menu is intentionally crafted by Chef Andrew Mirosch to tell a story and to also support the local farmers and fishermen. His passion for this restaurant is even more evident in its name—as the namesake is none other than his own daughter. For lunch, head to their beach bar called Zest—you don't even have to change out of your beach or pool attire.

Relatively new on the scene, this restaurant is at the Beach House with the pool as its backdrop, simple and uncomplicated. A unique feature is the Veuve Clicquot champagne bar with a caviar menu. The regular menu features a nice tuna tartare, a pumpkin ravioli suitable for the vegetarian, and superb coconut-herb mahimahi, among many other fish dishes. They have a hydroponic garden, and you can pick your own lettuce for your salad.

The restaurant is the nicest (and adults-only) of the Turks and Caicos Collection all-inclusive offerings, so if you're not staying at the Beach House, the Alexandra, or Blue Haven, it's best to make a reservation.

Right on Grace Bay Beach overlooking tranquil waters, this is a perfect spot to enjoy midday, as bathing attire is perfectly acceptable. Much of the Mexican and Tex-Mex fare—including desserts—is made from scratch. There's live music some nights and a DJ on Sunday afternoons.

This little gem is quite unusual to be associated with such a large resort. Simple and lovely, set by the pool and within walking distance from the beach, this open-air restaurant has offerings for brunch and dinner. Their Neapolitan pizzas are certainly worth the hype, but if you're looking for a more hearty meal, their Premium Angus Tenderloin has also received rave reviews. It isn't frequented by the local crowd much, but this hidden treasure is worth the visit.
