Local Nassau Resturants

[jeagens]

Any input on really good local restaurants in Nassau? Especially looking for local cuisine

[CruisinCrow]

Any of the restaurants at the Fish Fry will have good local food. Here's a blog I wrote about it, if you're interested: http://susancrow.blogspot.com/2014/09/nassaus-fish-fry.html

 

Some of the more popular ones are Twin Brothers, Goldies and Oh Andros.

 

There is also Bahamian Cookin' in the downtown area: http://bahamiancookin.com/ I've read good things about it although we haven't gotten there yet.

We always go here when we are in Nassau. The food is good and the view outside is great for people watching!

(couldn't find a valid website for them)

 

Hope that helps,

If you want authentic and delicious local food, try off-the-beaten-path Bahamian Cookin'. Great conch fritters, steamed chicken, pigeon peas & rice, baked macaroni, fried plantains. And don't forget a glass of (non-alcoholic) switcher. Yum!

Some great suggestions here. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. We recently decided not to do an organized excursion when we hit Nassau on our upcoming cruise, which left us also needing suggestions on where to eat lunch. It's going to be hard to decide :)

Skip Lukka Kairi. Wifi doesn't work, and the service wasn't great.

We may have to check out either Athena's or Bahamian Cookin' when we are in Nassau. No special excursion planned, just walking and looking, and we are always interested in trying new foods!

You ought to try the Tru Bahamian Food Tour. They do a full lunch at Bahamian Cookin', conch chowder and a greek salad at Athena, as well as lots of local tastings--beer, chocolate, hot sauces, jams, rum cake. A great tour!

Good to hear positive about this food tour. We booked this for our May cruise.

Is this a RCCL tour?

No, just book it on your own. You meet in front of Christ Church Cathedral about a 10 minutes walk from the cruise ship dock. I think it's limited to about 12 people or so.

Goldies at Fish Fry. Lots of locals eating lunch there every time we go. Locals = good food.

Are either Athena's or Bahamian Cooking in walking distance from the pier?

Yes, both are downtown. There's a map to Bahamian Cookin' in the link I included in post #2. Athenas has a Facebook page.

 

Fish Fry is in walking distance too, if you're mobile and the weather's not too hot. We walked back from it last weekend. Very enjoyable.

Athena's is good, that's usually my "go to" place. I have never tried Bahamian Cookin' may have to give them a try next time.

I gave Bahamin Cookin' a try on the last cruise. Very good local food. Worth going back next time.

It was a different restaurant on the food tour that closed, not Bahamian Cookin'.
