Restaurants in Paradise Island
Paradise Island offers an array of the most dazzling, and the most expensive, restaurants in The Bahamas. If you're on a strict budget, cross over the bridge into downtown Nassau, which has far more affordable places to eat. Though pricey, meals on Paradise Island are often unimaginative -- surf and turf appears on many a menu, so, unfortunately, you may not get what you pay for. The greatest concentration of restaurants is near the casino, but there are other good options outside the Atlantis complex, including Dune at the One&Only Ocean Club.
Hopping, Skipping & Jumping with Dining Hours -- Restaurants here, especially in hotels, are not known for keeping fixed dining hours. Hours of operation can vary with the season and the hotel's occupancy level. Dining rooms -- again, mainly in hotels -- can open and close for no reason that's immediately obvious. If you're planning on going to a particular restaurant, call in advance even if reservations aren't required.

The best restaurant on Paradise Island—some say the best in the Greater Nassau area—sits atop its namesake sand dune at the chic One&Only Ocean Club resort, overlooking the hotel’s clipped lawns to either side and the beach and sea just below. The place has a British…$$$Paradise Island
