9 Best Restaurants in Bermuda

l'Artisan

$ Fodor's choice

This light-filled bakery that sells authentic French pastries is not only beautiful to look at but smells incredible. The traditional pastries include flaky, buttery croissants and soft, rich chocolate chip cookies and are all baked on the premises, as are the sourdough loaves, all using a specially imported French flour. There are also housemade sandwiches that come on the bakery's baguettes—Le Country, on walnut raisin bread with goat cheese, honey, and prosciutto, is simple but full of flavor. Grab a freshly brewed cup of coffee and a delectable treat, and enjoy the sights of Front Street from the communal table or at one of the sidewalk spots.

Brew

$

Bringing coffeehouse culture to Front Street, along with great coffee, including tasty options such as Snickerdoodle Frappé (a blended frozen coffee with hazelnut and vanilla syrup and cinnamon), Brew also offers delicious breakfast and lunch sandwiches, salads, and quiches as well as specials and their famous guacamole and chips. After your caffeine fix, come here for the craft beer from Dockyard Brewing Company and selection of wine on tap. There's plenty of seating including outside at the sidewalk tables.

De Island Shack

$

With sandwiches, baked goods, and "the best coffee in the west," there are great options for grabbing something to go from De Island Shack, a casual café in the heart of Somerset Village. You won't find a fish sandwich on their menu, but you can have your BLT on Johnny Bread, a local favorite.

Devil's Isle Cafe

$$

With an emphasis on fresh, healthy ingredients, Devil's Isle's large menu has plenty of creative options, many available in both small and large plates. The small plates are the perfect way to try a few different options and share at the long communal table that dominates the center of this small, buzzy space. The rockfish taco and flash-fried calamari are standouts among the sharing plates. But don't overlook the healthy, but tasty, harvest bowls. There are several options to pick from that are chock-full of unusual ingredients like puffed amaranth seeds, kelp noodles, and raw cacao. Tailor bowls to your tastes with a choice of sauces, grains, and protein, including vegan options. Next door is a take-out counter where you can get the restaurant's signature salads and sandwiches to go, along with a cup of locally roasted coffee or a super green smoothie.

Misty's Take Out

$

From burgers and fries to a fish cake on a bun, the menu at Misty's features all the classic Bermudian fast-food favorites in unfussy, truly Bermudian style. This small eatery offers takeout only, but with Somerset Long Bay a mere jaunt away, it's the perfect place to pick up a few dishes for lunch on the sand or to take home after a day in the sun.

Pssst

$

Located across from the container docks on the eastern end of Front Street, this unassuming take-out spot is best known for its build-your-own pizza and epic burgers—its signature patty comes with melted cheese, caramelized onion bacon relish, and their secret sauce (which is also available to slather all over your pizza, if you so desire). Along with pizzas and burgers, the shop also adds its signature touch to salads, subs, and treats, including homemade brownies and ice cream. The pizzas also come available on a gluten-free crust. 

Rock Island Coffee

$

You'll likely smell the roasting of beans before you see this eclectic coffee shop that roasts all its coffee in-house. It's the perfect spot for aficionados that don't like to overcomplicate their coffee, and there's often a selection of homey baked goods to go along with your brew. There's seating inside on the mismatched chairs and couches, but grabbing a table out back on the secluded terrace is the ideal spot. This is a true café and is open only until noon. They also accept cash only.
