Taste & See
BAHAMIAN $$
(Love Hill; mains $10-20; lunch & dinner) Expect to be embraced when you walk
into this homey cafe - literally! Owner Cinderella Hinsey hugs all her guests, whether or
not she's met them before. Her love overflows into the food - delectable cracked conch,
sautéed lobster, BBQ turkey. The sunny, spotless dining room, perched on stilts above a
marsh, is one of Andros' most pleasant lunch spots.
Hank's Place
BAHAMIAN $$
(Fresh Creek; mains $10-25; lunch & dinner) On concrete pylons overhanging the wa-
ter, this brown wooden beach bar is a prime spot to munch conch fritters, pork chops or
lobster, all washed down with the lethal house cocktail, the Hanky Panky. Look out for
weekend fish fries and roasts.
