Nassau Restaurant Tips by XanderDone

Restaurant Name: Conch Fritter's

A nice Bahamian restaurant where you can get local food for slightly inflated prices, but it is very good, nevertheless. With cruise ships coming in down the street, you can't blame them for bumping up the fares to make more money. They just repainted the outside façade a bright Caribbean orange, so it's harder to miss than before, although it is in a main square. It's got a casual dress code and is great for the family. The only thing I found unusual was that the drink prices were scaled strangely. I paid $4.00 for just Coca-Cola, but with Rum it was $5.75. I should have kept getting the alcoholic beverages (although I was quite dehydrated by the time I had gotten to the place, so I needed something not quite as dry). They day I was there, a member of the Bahamian Senate was taking the orders back to the Senate House, so it's a local hit, too.

Favorite Dish: I had a wonderful BLT, since seafood was out of my price range. They had every local delicacy of the Bahamian gastronomy there, and it ran up about $13.00 on average, I'd say. My meal was around $6.00 if I remember correctly. After all the fancy food in Paradise Island, I desperately needed that kind of food.!
