The Caribbean culinary scene has never been stronger.

And much has changed since we first launched the 50 Best Restaurants in the Caribbean back in 2013.

Now, six years later, the world has begun to notice the gastronomic power of the Caribbean, appreciating it as what might be the most diverse culinary destination on earth — and are proud to say we have helped to move the needle in that regard.

With our newest edition of the 50 Best, we celebrate the best of the Caribbean’s eateries, concentrating as we always have on three major pillars: food, service and ambience.

Because these three things, when married skillfully, turn a place to eat into a world-class restaurant — and, happily, the Caribbean is teeming with them.

Our team of the world’s leading Caribbean travel experts scoured the region for culinary standouts, running the gamut from resort restaurants to celebrity chef outposts to tucked-away beach bars to funky food trucks.

What do they all have in common? They’re the 50 best restaurants in the Caribbean for 2018. Congratulations to all of the selections.

The Landing, Harbour Island, Bahamas It’s one of the first things you see when you arrive in Harbour Island. And this historic hotel is home to what is truly a legendary restaurant: The Landing, Harbour Island’s greatest table and, right now, the number one restaurant in the Caribbean for 2018. It’s all here: marvelous ambience straight out of a novel, impeccable service and the sort of meticulously sourced, exquisitely prepared cuisine that leaves you with a single memory of your meal: perfection.

American Airlines has launched three new nonstop routes to The Bahamas.

That includes two new routes from Charlotte, with new weekly flights on Saturdays to both Marsh Harbour in Abaco and North Eleuthera. (The latter is the gateway to chic Harbour Island, a short ferry ride from the dock near the airport.)

The famous Pink Sand Beach on Harbour Island.

Those two routes will provide a significant boost to two of the more sought-after destinations in the Out Islands of The Bahamas.

Abaco, an archipelago known for its remarkable beaches, tucked-away cays and its fishing, is home to some of the Bahamas’ most charming hotels, from the legendary Bluff House on Green Turtle Cay to the Hope Town Harbour Lodge on historic Elbow Cay.

Harbour Island, perhaps most famous for its Pink Sand Beach, is one of the toniest destinations in the Caribbean, with a collection of high-end boutique hotels, picturesque colonial architecture and some terrific watering holes.

American Airlines has also launched a new route from Chicago O’Hare to Nassau, a service that will also operate weekly on Saturdays, yet another expansion for Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport.

And American has additionally launched a new seasonal expansion from Miami International Airport to Freeport in Grand Bahama, meaning a new total of two morning departures every day.

“The addition of several new flight options from American Airlines is welcomed news for the local tourism industry,” said Bahamas Tourism Minister Dionisio D’Aguilar. “As our room inventory increases, we are eager for to meet that demand with more seats bringing travelers to our islands. The benefits will be felt especially during our winter months when tourists from cold areas are looking for a warm, sunny vacation.” 

The Baha Mar in Nassau.

The Bahamas, which was named Caribbean Destination of the Year in the recent Caribbean Travel Awards, has been having a banner year for tourism, with its highest arrival growth in years.

That has been the result of a wave of factors, from the full-fledged entry of the Baha Mar megaresort in New Providence to continued strengthening of the Out Islands.

It’s all shining a new spotlight on the sheer diversity of a destination that’s made up of 700 islands and cays.

And now it’s getting even easier to discover them.
