3 Best Restaurants in The Abacos, Bahamas

Thirsty Cuda

$ Fodor's choice

Be prepared to get wet to order your meal or drink from this floating food truck—it's anchored in waist-deep water off Tahiti Beach at the end of Elbow Cay. The sesame conch bites, burgers, and potent libations are worth wading out for. Check the weather forecast before making the trip—they're only there if the weather's good. If it is, they'll be there daily from noon until five.

Coco Beach Bar & Sea Grille

$$$

Enjoy the stunning scenery of one of the world's top-rated beaches while enjoying lunch or a cocktail at this casual, laid-back spot. Sit at the bar or on the open deck, or, for the best views, enjoy your meal under one of the thatched shades right on the beach. Eggs any style and fluffy pancakes are popular for breakfast. A Bahamian dinner is served complete with a beach bonfire Tuesday nights during the high season. Wednesday night is steak night with a loaded potato bar, and Sundays during the lobster season they offer a real deal - four course dinner for just $40 plus grat and vat with lobster prepared whichever way you want it as the main attraction.

Turtle Crawl Cafe

$

This tiny ice-cream parlor and coffee shop boasts 30 flavors. Located inside a painstakingly renovated island home, there's limited space and seating inside, but across the narrow road are a few picnic benches under the shade of huge trees. Strangely, this spot isn't open until early evening.
