2.The Landing

Next on our list of restaurants in Harbour island which leaves you wanting more is The Landing. Adorned with red walls and uneven wood flooring dating back to the 1800s, this guesthouse restaurant is a must see.

Chef Ken‘s menu is ever changing, so you may be in for some surprises, but be sure to try the Goat Cheese Ravioli.

3.Sip Sip

Contrary to the name, there is more to this foodie spot than just gossip, (in Briland “Sip Sip” denotes to gossip), though they operate from 11AM to 5PM, one menu pick from Chef Julie’s integrate menu and you will be eating lunch here every day. One ideal pick that you cannot miss is Boil Fish served with grits and some Johnny cakes.

4.Queen Conch

You cannot go the Bahamas and not try the famed conch. And there is no better place to try the conch than Queen Conch. This place is an island hotspot, so you might want to arrive a bit early. Once you get there, sit back and enjoy a perfect sunset snack.
