Cuisine
Bermudian diverse cuisine is born from an incredible mix of British, Caribbean, African, Native American and Portuguese influences and natural ingredients. On Sunday mornings, join the locals for a hearty, traditional codfish breakfast – boiled or steamed salt cod with boiled potatoes, onions, sliced bananas, a hard-boiled egg and, occasionally, avocado slices. It's topped with a tomato or butter onion sauce. If you're down by the beach, grab a no-frills, Bermudian staple, a Fish Sandwich - deep-fried fillets of fish with tartar sauce piled on raisin bread or whole-wheat toast. Go for “the works" and add on lettuce, tomato, grilled Bermuda onions, cheese, hot sauce and coleslaw. Relax and watch the sunset with a traditional Bermudan Dark n' Stormy or a Rum Swizzle for the perfect evening.
