The Bermudian - Summer 2016

GLUTEN-FREE MENU

The Dockyard Pastry Shop 3 Celiacs rejoice! Described by one judge as “the best place in Dockyard for food,” The Dockyard Pastry Shop is remarkable.

The small restaurant is seemingly always busy, taking care to serve each customer with a friendly smile and darn good food. Catering specially to their celiac patrons, The Dockyard Pastry Shop has gluten-free sandwiches, cakes, tarts and fudge, and ensures that cross contamination is never a possibility.

FINE DINING

The Waterlot Inn

3 Nearly as old as her island home, The Waterlot Inn is an icon in Bermuda. For nearly

350 years, the legendary fine-dining establishment has stayed relevant, garnering numerous awards and accolades (many from this publication), including AAA Four Diamond and Wine Spectator awards. The secret to The Waterlot Inn’s success is simple: Evolve over time— without losing sight of who and what you are. JFairmont Southampton,

101 South Shore Road, Southampton, 238-8000

SUNDAY BRUNCH

Marcus’

3 The Sunday brunch at Marcus’ is much like the restaurant itself: fresh, inspired and downright good. With a selection that includes codfish and potatoes, antipasto, a raw bar and bottomless champagne, Sunday brunch at Marcus’ is more contemporary and hip than the brunching frenzies we’re used to in Bermuda—and that’s just fine by us. J 76 Pitt’s Bay Road, Hamilton, 295-3000

KID-FRIENDLY RESTAURANT

La Trattoria Restaurant & Pizzeria

3 Whether it’s a matter of actual kids or the overgrown variety, La Trattoria Restaurant and Pizzeria is undoubtedly the place for kids and kids-at-heart. Forever a winner in this category, nobody can seat a table of fifteen rambunctious children quite like the Tratt. J23 Washington Lane, Hamilton, 295-1877

PRIVATE DINING ROOM

The Point, Rosewood Tucker’s Point

3 A private dining experience has to incorporate three things: magnificent service, a stunning setting and an artistic and well-executed menu. The Point at Rosewood Tucker’s Point, with its old-world charm and faultless silver service, is the rightful place for any private dining experience, no matter the occasion. JRosewood Tucker’s Point, Tucker’s Town, 298-4070

BARTENDER

Ryan Gibbons

3 Ryan Gibbons, head bartender at Barracuda Grill, is a master mixologist, taking a culinary approach to creating cocktails. With cocktail culture firmly garnering limitless attention, being able to turn out consistently inspired and extraordinary concoctions as Gibbons does is no easy feat. J5 Burnaby Hill, Hamilton, 292-1609

PLACE TO WATCH TELEVISED SPORTS

Flanagan’s Outback

3 Sport spectating requires a certain formula to be appreciated. The atmosphere needs to be lively, the drinks ever-flowing and the food, greasy and satisfying. Flanagan’s Outback, the Irish pub’s expansive backroom dedicated to sports reveling, gets it right consistently, making any day spectating worthwhile, win or lose.
