The Fairmont Hamilton Princess Best International (Restaurants) (10 Overall Closest) Metro: Bermuda Aqua (Restaurants - International) 34 Shore Rd Ariel Sands • 441-236-2332         Description: DEVONSHIRE PARISH. Aqua makes much of its location, directly on the beach, and if you're planning a romantic moonlit meal with the waves lapping a few feet away, you can't do better. Tables on the terrace are prime (book in advance!), although the stylish dining room, in shades of blue, is almost as picturesque, as is the food. The innovative young chef is a whiz with seafood, incorporating international flavors with flair – expect to see combinations like tuna with mole sauce and jerk-marinated snapper. Desserts are definitely worth a splurge. Barracuda Grill (Restaurants - International) 5 Burnaby Hill, Hamilton  HM 12 • 441-292-1609         Description: PEMBROKE PARISH. A contemporary restaurant serving contemporary food, Barracuda Grill is a good choice when you're not quite sure what you're in the mood for! Appetizers run the gamut from gravlax flatbread and Asian-inspired tuna tartare to wasabi-pea crusted calamari and scallops and prawns with pumpkin seed pesto. Main courses follow suit, with standouts including roasted seabass with chorizo and wild mushrooms, island spiced kurobuta pork chops, and cinnamon-chipotle rubbed buffalo rib eye. Bistro J (Restaurants - International) 102 Chancery Lane, Hamilton  HM 12 • 441-296-8546         Description: PEMBROKE PARISH. Comfortable and casual, with a carefully created rustic ambience, this little spot on Chancery Lane features a daily-changing chalkboard menu that incorporates a variety of international dishes. You might find conch fritters with mango chili sauce, Bermuda fishcakes, pan roasted Atlantic salmon over Thai vegetables or grilled sirloin with onions. On Tuesday evenings, the focus is on tapas, with weekly specials like chorizo-corn salad, Cajun scallops, and panko crusted eggplant cakes. The restaurant shares a kitchen with adjacent Port O' Call. Pickled Onion (Restaurants - International) 53 Front St, Hamilton  • 441-295-2263 User Rating: 9.5 / 10         Description: PEMBROKE PARISH. Located on the second floor of a historic former whiskey warehouse, the Pickled Onion has been a favorite for years. The classy space has that retro-modern look, with lots of warm wood and 1950s-styled furniture and lighting. The lengthy menu, though, is thoroughly modern. Start with an appetizer such as lobster and corn tostadas, Chinese five-spice ribs or fig and prosciutto flatbread. Enjoy an inventive brick oven pizza (topped with Latin pulled pork, tequila marinated shrimp, roasted vegetables and the like). Or choose a main course like macadamia-crusted rockfish, island-spiced chicken, tamarind-lemongrass duck or a perfectly grilled steak. After dinner, the ambience turns a bit livelier, with live music and well-poured cocktails. Sapori (Restaurants - International) 55 White Sands Rd Grape Bay Beach Hotel  PG 06 • 441-236-7201         Description: PAGET PARISH. Another wonderful choice for dining-with-a-view, Sapori has pride of place on the Grape Bay Beach Hotel's poolside terrace, overlooking the ocean. The menu's scope is truly global, with Caribbean, Mediterranean and Thai options. Whether you're in the mood for pad thai, curry, pasta or fresh seafood, you'll find it here!
