RESTAURANTS

Here is a list of local restaurants, listed by proximity. The stars represent the owners' personal evaluations combining factors such as food, service, ambiance, location etc

Unique Village This restaurant is within 12 minutes walking distance of Calypso, northwest along the Banks Rd. It is located in an airy octagonal room overlooking the Atlantic ocean. Standard american and bahamian dishes, the sunday brunch is good. *

Mate and Jenny's excellent pizza, and other bahamian/american dishes. Great atmosphere, very popular. Charming host and waitstaff. Go through the settlement to the crossroads with the Queen's Hwy, the restaurant is just on the otherside. 15 min by bike. **

Tippy's airy rooms right on a superb beach. Excellent food and atmosphere, this has rapidly become the most popular restaurant on the island. Travel north on the Banks Rd  (Atlantic coastal road) through Palmetto Point Settlement past Green Thumb nursery. After 2 miles or so, the road comes out at the Atlantic at a fabulous beach. Tippy's is just at the point, before the road turns inland again.

STORES

Groceries are listed by proximity. Other stores are then listed by category.

Millard's Millard Bethel and his 4 sons (Andre, Lorenzo, Carlos and ?) have most basic supplies and usually a good selection of local fruit and vegetables. If there are pineapples, sugar apples or sapodillas grab them! Bananas, citrus, water melons and tomatoes are also excellent.

Burrow's in Governor's Harbour is small and crowded - for good reason. Usually has the best selection and prices.

We also recommend the Bakery in Governor's Harbour - close to Burrow's, but a bit tricky to find. Try the hot patties!

There is a larger supermarket-style store in Rock Sound.
