Graycliff Restaurant

Nassau


Colonial elegance hangs heavily at this atmospheric fine-diner in the 18th-century Graycliff Hotel. The predominantly European menu deploys a lot of imported ingredients but also makes use of Bahamian lobster and other local treasures. The wine cellar is legendary, with precious vintages such as an 1865 Château Lafite among its 250,000 bottles. Dress code is elegant: no shorts or sandals.
