ROMANTIC RESTAURANT
p Ascots
Ascots has been the venue
for much wining and dining
over the last twenty years, with
couples choosing its enchanting
atmosphere to woo the one they
love. Surrounded by perfectly
landscaped gardens and trees
decorated in twinkling lights,
falling in love at Ascots is practically part of the dessert menu.

MAÎTRE D’
p Paolo Odoli
“People sought me out to make
sure that I knew that Paolo Odoli
was the best,” said one of our
judges, who admitted to being
overwhelmed by how passionate his supporters were. Their
reasoning? Paolo is a jack-of-all-trades, doing everything he can
to ensure that his customers (at
Red Steakhouse and Bar) have
absolutely everything they need—
even if it’s just a smile and a hello.
• 55 Front Street, Hamilton, 292-7331
walled Wine Room at Ascots
provides the same exceptional
service found in the dining room
but with added privacy. Surrounded by wine from around the
world, you and up to 13 guests
can dine in seclusion, undisturbed by other patrons—a luxury
sometimes deemed a necessity.

OUT-OF-TOWN EATERY
p Speciality Inn
Speciality Inn will forever remain
a local favourite. The food is
as it’s always been, delicious,
inexpensive and served with a
smile, making the short trip to
get there well worth the drive.
• 4 South Road, Smith’s, 236-3133
PORCH & PATIO DINING
p Wahoo’s Bistro and Patio
Where better to enjoy fresh
Bermuda fish than alfresco at
Wahoo’s Bistro and Patio in the
heart of St. George’s. Of course,
anyone who has experienced
Alfred Konrad’s exceptional fish
tacos can attest that the food
is enough by far, but the added
bonus of the sun and sea makes
it all so much better.
• 36 Water Street, St. George’s, 297-1307
FRESH LOCAL FISH
p Rustico
The menu at Rustico is swimming with fresh local fish, prepared with resident hands and
enjoyed by resident mouths.
• 8 North Shore Road, Flatts, 295-5212
SUNDAY BRUNCH
p The Reefs
no one brunches like bermudians. What used to be an outing
reserved for special occasions
has now become a weekly
feeding frenzy at which even the
hungriest will triumph. So where
do the serious brunchers go?
To The Reefs, of course, where
every kind of dish under the sun
is just waiting to be devoured!

CAKE MAKER
p Cake Boutique Celebration
Certainly not your grandmother’s fruitcake, Kayo Lambert’s
masterful cakes are simply
works of art. Having graduated
from the new england culinary
Institute, Lambert has built an
enviable reputation for her business, Cake Boutique Celebration. These days, Lambert’s
masterpieces are hotly sought
after by local brides—and anyone else celebrating a special
occasion. [Kamilah Cannonier

KID-FRIENDLY
RESTAURANT
p La Trattoria
La Trattoria has always welcomed the littlest diners with
open arms, but now thanks to
catherine burns of nutrifit and
natural nutrition bermuda, kids
are dining more healthily than
ever at the family restaurant. La
Trattoria partnered with Burns in
2013 to develop a menu for kids
that both satisfies their hunger
and fills their tummies with good,
nutritious food, free of antibiotics, hormones and excess sugar
and fat. If that’s not kid-friendly,
we don’t know what is.

BARTENDER
p Ryan Gibbons
You’d be hard pressed to find a bartender who is more knowledgeable
than Ryan Gibbons of the Barracuda
Grill. With over ten years’ experience
behind the bar, Gibbons knows that
being the best bartender is about
more than making great cocktails;
it’s a job that includes knowing your
customers and how to please them.
