What is the Local Bermudian Cuisine Like?

Bermuda’s modern cuisine is considered a fusion of English and Portuguese cuisines and on par with top restaurants in International cities around the world. With local seafood in abundance you will see rockfish, spiny lobster and fresh tuna available often served with Portuguese style sauces, a tomato sauce and sautéed spices. Shark meat is also visible on many menus as an appetizer. Bermuda’s climate allows just about any vegetable to grow although flax is a local favorite, as is the imported British Onion!

The National dish is the ‘Bermuda Seafood Chowder’ which is replicated in most of Bermuda’s restaurants, from fine dining to quick eats.

As are these dishes:

‘There are so many amazing places to eat in Bermuda, however, Bolero was one of our favourites. The butternut squash soup melted in my mouth. The added corn and pistachio nuts added just the right bit of crunch. My husband and I shared a burger and it too was tender, juicy, and delicious. Great service too. Put this restaurant on your list.’
