Paraquet Restaurant

Frommer's Review

This restaurant doesn't even pretend to offer a cuisine as fine as those restaurants already recommended in the parish, but in high-priced Bermuda, it's a bargain. Near a major south-shore traffic junction, this unpretentious restaurant is at the center of an apartment cluster of the same name. From your table, you can see a circular formal flower garden created by the Portuguese owners. The coffee-shop setting -- complete with lime-colored Formica -- and the menu of substantial home-style Bermudian fare are straight out of the '50s. You'll find one of the island's largest sandwich menus (both hot and cold), as well as omelets, homemade soups (there's always a fish chowder of the day), and salads. You can order mixed platters, which feature various dishes such as turkey breast and crabmeat; grilled dishes like T-bone steak; fried liver and onions; or a roast half-chicken. A main course platter is a meal in itself.
