Bailey's Ice Cream & Food D'Lites Restaurant
DELI/LIGHT BITES/ICE
CREAM This ice-cream parlor near Grotto Bay Resort and the airport occupies a
small cottage. For all-natural, homemade ice cream, there's no comparable spot in
Bermuda—the staff concocts at least 30 flavors in the shop's 40-quart ice-cream
maker. You can enjoy Bermuda banana, coconut, cherries and white-chocolate chips,
or other exotic flavors at one of the outdoor tables. The popular sandwiches are served
on fresh-baked bread. Also featured are fresh fruit ices, frozen yogurt, and bottled
juices—perfect on a hot, sunny day.

Swizzle Inn Bailey's Bay
BERMUDIAN/BRITISH The oldest pub in Ber-
muda—some 300 years old—is also the home of the famous Bermuda rum swizzle
drink (made with sugar and citrus juice). The pub lies west of the airport, near the
Crystal Caves. Thousands of business cards and reams of graffiti cover the walls.
The
Bermudian
magazine voted the meaty Swizzleburger best in Bermuda; other freshly
prepared pub favorites include fish and chips, conch fritters, and shepherd's pie.
These dishes are at least a notch above typical Bermudian pub grub. At lunch, the
Bailey's Bay fish sandwich and onion rings are popular with locals and visitors alike.
The larger, more varied dinner menu appeals to many tastes and diets. Pub grub is
available for dinner, as is a seafood medley (rockfish, mussels, and shrimp in marinara
sauce), the catch of the day, and some tasty Asian curries. Seating is available inside
and on the upper and lower patios; upstairs there are also a nonsmoking room and a
gift shop. There is an additional location at 87 South Shore Rd., Warwick Parish.

ST. GEORGE'S PARISH
Moderate
Blackbeard's Hideout
BERMUDIAN/INTERNATIONAL At Fort Catherine's,
this eatery has become one of the best places in Bermuda to—well, hide out. With a
panoramic view of Achilles Bay, it offers appetizing seafood as well as other “grub and
grog.” For starters, opt for such well-prepared selections as calamari served with a
mango garlic aioli dip or fresh oysters on the half shell. You can also begin with a
Bermuda fish chowder prepared with black rum and sherry peppers. For your main,
the chef prepares a rum-laced tenderloin of pork flambéed with Calvados, or else a
10- or 14-ounce sizzler steak topped with fried onions and garlic butter. A seafood
platter is also offered nightly.
