A gorgeous restaurant next to a marina, incredible food, fabulous drinks and a beautiful sunset. That’s exactly what you get when you dine in 1609 at the exquisite Hamilton Princess & Beach Club. Yes folks, 1609 has reopened for the season with a brand new menu featuring elevated Mexican cuisine and plenty of tequila/mezcal drinks to match. Think open air restaurant + fresh guac + smokey drinks. Basically, my idea…

Restaurant Weeks 2022 Review: BLT Steak NY
Excellent service, incredible food and an amazing vibe sum up my last stop for Restaurant Weeks. I decided to save my last review for a place I hadn’t enjoyed yet – BLT Steak NY at St. Regis. The menu was simple but well executed. My friend and I arrived and grabbed a drink upstairs at the bar before heading down for dinner. When we arrived, we were quickly escorted to our…

Restaurant Weeks 2022 Review: Aurora
For one of my final stops for Restaurant Weeks, I decided to head to Aurora. I hadn’t been since last year and the menu looked amazing. If you enjoy lots of seafood, this is definitely a menu you’ll want to sample. After ordering drinks, I couldn’t decide on what to eat so I had to ask my server to assist. I’m so glad I took his advice. For my appetizer, he…

Restaurant Weeks 2022 Review: Sul Verde
A cold January night calls for comfort food, Italian style. Thankfully, Restaurant Weeks is on and Sul Verde has an excellent menu filled with comfort food. I went to Sul Verde over the weekend with a friend and we happily settled into the cozy restaurant after a whole day of wind and rain. We were quickly seated by Marco and offered menus. The menu was similar to Island Brasserie in that instead…

Restaurant Weeks 2022 Review: Crown And Anchor
For my third stop of Restaurant Weeks, I decided to check out Crown and Anchor at Hamilton Princess with my sister. I expected a delicious meal with excellent service and I got just that. We sat outside under the covered patio and it was surprisingly warm even though it was a cold night. The menu was in the $42 category and even though there was only one choice available per course,…

Restaurant Weeks 2022 Review: Island Brasserie
Restaurant Weeks is in full swing and I couldn’t be happier! My first stop was Barracuda Grill and it was excellent to say the least. They set the bar pretty high. Thankfully, my second stop was also very good. For restaurant number two, I decided to invite a friend to dine with me at Island Brasserie at Rosewood Bermuda. The menu included items from the regular menu for the awesome price…

Lightened Up Bermuda Fishcakes
Good Friday is one of my favourite times of year. The weather is warming up and the days are longer which obviously means more sunshine. In Bermuda, we fly kites for Good Friday. It’s a tradition that’s gone on for longer than I’ve been alive. I remember making kites with my dad when I was a child and how much fun we had. Tomorrow, children all over the island will fly…

Breakfast Tacos
Last week, I was home with my son who was sick. He turned two on Tuesday and is in that in between stage of toddler and big boy. But he’s still a bit clingy when he’s ready and wants to nap with his mommy all the time. When we were home, he slept for the majority of the morning which gave me the perfect opportunity to whip up something delicious…

Double Chocolate Brownies
OK, let’s just get this out there. I’m a chocolate freak. I’ve always been obsessed with chocolate and I always will be. Chocolate Chip Cookies are my absolute FAVE and I live for a dark chocolate gelato. And don’t get my started on chocolate croissants, mochas, dark chocolate sea salt caramel bars, and the list goes on. But the common denominator is good quality chocolate. I can’t stand basic chocolate.…

Crispy Tofu Buddha Bowls
I LOVE a good Buddha bowl! They are easy to put together and full of nutrient dense foods. They are perfect for meal prepping or making an easy dinner when your in a time crunch. This is actually what I’ve had for lunch everyday this week. And the best thing about Buddha bowls is that they are super customizable. You can throw in whatever protein, carbs and veggies you want…
