Turks and Caicos High-End Restaurants

• Graces Cottage (Providenciales, Caicos) Caribbean, Phone: 649-946-5096
  • Concierge.com Recommendation   : "Candlelight sets the tone, palm fronds rustle overhead, and the wine list is worthy of just about any special occasion."

• • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "The food is as exceptional as the setting: Chef Alberto Artiles prepares seafood in light, sophisticated ways, but he also has a way with duck, lamb, and beef."

• • Fodor's Review   : "In addition to such tangy and exciting entrées as panfried red snapper served with roasted pepper sauce or melt-in-your-mouth grilled beef tenderloin served with truffle-scented mashed potatoes, the soufflés are well worth the 15-minute wait..."

• Caicos Cafe (Providenciales, Caicos) Caribbean/French, Phone: 649-946-5278
  • Concierge.com Recommendation   : "The covered, fairy-lit terrace and buzzing bar feel local—and are a refreshing relief from the resort-crowd vibe."

• • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "[I]t's a favorite among locals, but visitors also find the warm, romantic ambience and consistently delicious food hard to resist."

• • Fodor's Review   : "Owner-chef Pierrik Marziou adds a French accent to his appetizers, salads, and homemade desserts, along with an outstanding collection of fine French wines."

• Magnolia (Providenciales, Caicos) Mediterranean/Asian, Phone: 649-941-5108
  • Concierge.com Recommendation   : "The food is every bit as good as the view: Seafood-focused (natch), the dishes use either Mediterranean or Asian flavors—but thankfully never both at once."

• • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "Magnolia has only been around since 2002 but has already established itself as one of the best places to dine in Provo -- both for the romantic outdoor setting and the delicious food."

• • Fodor's Review   : "Expect well-prepared, uncomplicated choices that range from European to Asian to Caribbean."

• Anacaona (Providenciales, Caicos) Mediterranean/Caribbean, Phone: 649-946-5757
  • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "Chef Eric Brunel has a remarkably deft touch with fish -- whether sautéed, seared, or grilled, Brunel's fish is never overcooked or oversauced."

• • Fodor's Review   : "At the Grace Bay Club, this palapa-shaded restaurant has become a favorite of the country's chief minister."

• Coyaba Restaurant (Providenciales, Caicos) Continental/Caribbean, Phone: 649-946-5186

Turks and Caicos Moderate Restaurants

• Island Thyme Bistro (Salt Clay, Turks) Eclectic, Phone: 649-946-6977
  • Concierge.com Recommendation   : "When you stay on tiny Salt Cay, Porter and Haidee Williams's place on the beach becomes your second home from the day you arrive and claim your complimentary Voodoo cocktail."

• • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "The Island Thyme is more than just a good place to eat -- it's the local bank, the Internet access center, and party central."

• • Fodor's Review   : "Owner Porter Williams serves potent alcoholic creations like "The Wolf" and other creatures, as well as fairly sophisticated local and international cuisine."

• Hemingway's (Providenciales, Caicos) Caribbean, Phone: 649-946-5199
  • Concierge.com Recommendation   : "[Hemingway's] has reasonable prices, unpretentious food, and a divine deck with grandstand view of the sunset."

• • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "This casual place is jumping morning to night, and the ocean-side location is only half the enticement. With a setting like this, the food doesn't have to be this good -- but it is, and hallelujah."

• • New York Times Pick: "As a saxophonist plays poolside, tuck into seafood dishes like a spicy conch chowder and mahi mahi fish and chips."

• Tiki Hut (Providenciales, Caicos) Caribbean, Phone: 649-941-5341
  • Concierge.com Recommendation   : "If you really want to know what's happening on Provo, show up at this lively dockside watering hole on Wednesday evenings for chicken or ribs night."

  • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "[W]hen you arrive, you'll be treated to delicious island food served family-style."

• • Fodor's Review   : "Try conch fritters for lunch and her steamed grouper with okra rice for dinner. Be sure to call ahead, as she cooks only when there's someone to cook for."

Turks and Caicos Affordable Restaurants

• Da Conch Shack (Providenciales, Caicos) Caribbean, Phone: 649-946-8877 Directions
  • Concierge.com Recommendation   : "[Da Conch Shack serves] some of the best conch on the islands."

• • Fodor's Review   : "An institution in Provo for many years, this brightly colored beach shack is justifiably famous for its conch and seafood."

• • New York Times Pick: "Though you can get conch anywhere, the ideal spot is this pair of dilapidated huts with white picnic tables on Blue Hills beach, just west of Grace Bay Beach."

• Hey Jose's Caribbean Cantina (Providenciales, Caicos) Intercontinental, Phone: 649-946-4812
  • Frommer's Recommended: "The parade of burritos, tacos, quesadillas, chimichangas, and grilled steaks and chicken will make you think you've been transplanted to some fiery little eatery along the Tex-Mex border."
