Italian and Mediterranean restaurants rank high on the list of the cuisine served in Bermuda, where there are probably more Italian eating places on a per capita basis than can be found in most destinations of similar size. World class dining can be found at these establishments that offer local specialties refined by their chefs. The featured dish on most menus is fish, which chefs have managed to prepare with skill and imagination.
French cooking has always been on the cutting edge of the world's best culinary creators. Fresh is key and the French have always paired food and wine. One of France’s greatest treasures is indisputably its rich cuisine. Bermuda has several restaurants featuring French selections that are sure to please.
Southwestern (TexMex) and Latin flavours are also available and very different in style. The different South American spices change the the flavour of any food and the beverages are just as distinct dating back to the Native Americans. Although Mexican cuisine has many similarities to Latin cuisine, it is a type of regional cuisine originating in the in Mexico and moving into the southwestern United States. Mexican and Tex-Mex offerings include enchiladas and burritos, margaritas, beans and more!
