"Cafe Matisse is one of Nassau’s oldest restaurants and maybe its best for people-watching. Channel your inner Shonda Rhimes and invent backstories for the people from the nearby House of Assembly and financial offices who are meeting for hushed lunches and early dinners. It’s a good spot for both those meals, especially if you can snag a spot on the sun-kissed patio. Prioritize anything involving seafood, specifically the lobster salad abundant with avocado and citrus and the simple, off-menu pappardelle with shrimp and lobster pieces dressed in a rich, pecorino cream sauce." - ashleigh sean rolle

"A longtime favorite of European expats, this hidden-away downtown restaurant serves refined Italian cuisine with a Bahamian twist. The house-made gnocchi here might be created from tropical cassava, rather than potato; tagliatelle maybe accompanied by morsels of locally caught hogfish. If the weather’s pleasant, ask for a table on the lovely courtyard patio."
