The Landing Restaurant, located on Harbour Island, is "contemporary" dining experience that "consistently" receives great reviews. The menu changes, based on the availability of fresh ingredients of the current season. The chef, who originally is from Sydney, creates an almost simple, yet "consistent" International cuisine. The wine list is said to be "exceptional" and it features wines in every price range. Reservations are recommended.

For an affordable meal that consist of a bit of "down-home cooking," try Bishop's Restaurant right outside of Freeport on Grand Bahama Island. It's a true Bahamian dining experience and locals flock here for some of the "best cracked conch" on the island. The location is far from the glitter and glam of the hotel scene on the resort side of the island, making your meal that much more enjoyable and secluded.
