For Your Dining Pleasure - Part 2
Here are some more of the dining places you can enjoy in Freeport.
Eclectic Cuisine
Pub on the Mall. The Pub on the Mall is located across from the International Bazaar and offers you four options. It is four restaurants cloistered together. The Prince of Wales Lounge is an authentic style English pub serving fish and chips, sandwiches, steaks, baby back ribs, and draft ale in a medieval setting. The Islander's Roost Restaurant offers a large menu of Caribbean and American dishes in a relaxed atmosphere decorated with colorful Junkanoo masks and costumes. Junkanoo is the local Christmas carnival. Waiters in their white jackets serve the dishes of steaks, ribs, charbroiled dolphinfish steak, and various Bahamian dishes in the double level dining room and out on the patio. Silvano's is the third restaurant, which serves Italian-style fish, pasta, and meat in a circular dining room the color of sunny yellow. The chef's special is lobster with spicy tomato and mushroom sauce. Last but not least The Red Dog Sports Bar has a boisterous, friendly atmosphere with four TV screens including a 96-inch screen. If you are hungry you will want to order the pizza.
Le Rendezvous. This restaurant is the essence of the International Bazaar's sophisticated flair. This sidewalk café serves dishes from many different ethnic groups such as Italian, Mexican, East Indian, Caribbean, Thai, Indonesian, and Bahamian. You may like the curried veg-rolls or the Bangkok stuffed shrimp for an appetizer, and the grouper piccata or Thai stir-fry for the main entrée.
French Cuisine
Café Michel's. This bistro is great for a light meal or snack. The outdoor tables with the red umbrellas and tablecloths are a great place for you to just sit and watch people. It is just off the Bazaar's main promenade. The interior of the café is more cozy and intimate. The menu has French, American, and Bahamian dishes, such as conch burger, hamburger, escargot, veal cordon bleu and lobster tail.
Seafood Cuisine
Lemon Peel. This restaurant was renovated in 2000 and is adjacent to the resort's new sports bar. It serves all meals, but they specialize in seafood dishes such as the conch chowder, conch fritters, a shellfish platter, blackened redfish nicoise, which means prepared with tomatoes, olives, and garlic, and fresh grouper blackened or pan-fried. The name may have changed after the renovation was completed in 2001.
Lucaya Restaurants
