CULINARY OFFERINGS
Inspired by the island’s rich heritage of naval trade, Bermuda offers a sophisticated culinary scene influenced by global flavours intermingled with the island’s own unique food culture. At Rosewood Bermuda, guests are treated to seven unique epicurean experiences including three unique restaurants, and four signature bars.
Executive Chef Danny Khajekian seeks to captivate diners with the freshness and quality of products from the finest cuts of wagyu to treasured guinea chick lobsters found in Bermudian waters, to the humble Bermuda onion. His whimsical take on dining experiences and memories shines through in his technique and marriage of flavour at each of Rosewood Bermuda’s restaurants.
RESTAURANTS
Island Brasserie
For centuries, seafaring voyagers left an indelible mark on Bermuda’s cuisine. Trade routes traversed the Atlantic, blending Old World traditions with those of the New World and West Indies. Reflecting these rich and diverse culinary influences, the resort’s signature restaurant delivers a contemporary take on island comfort food, placing emphasis on spices and time-honored cooking methods. Drawing from land and sea, locally caught fish, fresh seasonal harvests and artisanal products feature prominently on the menu.
Vibrant and informal, the Island Brasserie takes its inspiration from a colonial-style home. Antique brass detailing and Gerard Henderson’s iconic hand-painted murals pay homage to Bermuda’s seafaring heritage. Indoors, the restaurant offers a relaxed and inviting setting for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Outside, a terrace provides captivating views of Harrington Sound during the day and fireside warmth in the evening.
Tucker’s Bar
Located in the Manor House next to the Island Brasserie, Tucker’s Bar is dedicated to rum—the liquid gold of empires, adventurers and buccaneers. While the bartenders don’t mind serving a fine wine or Pimm’s Cup, they’re inclined to pour, mix and elaborate on the history of the island’s beloved spirit.
As a colonial port-of-call, Bermuda developed a fancy for rum cocktails. Throughout the day and into the evening, Tucker’s Bar serves up the classics, including the Dark ‘N Stormy, Bermuda Rum Swizzle and Yellow Bird. Relaxed and highly social, the bar offers a menu of light snacks and an extensive library of rare and aged rums from around the world. Guests are encouraged to explore the spirit’s illustrious past and sample sipping rums at regular tasting sessions.
Conservatory Bar & Lounge
Set just off the lobby, the Conservatory Bar & Lounge serves as the lively heart of the resort. With its twin fireplaces, hand-painted floors and beamed ceilings, the venue pairs British heritage with a modern sensibility. Here, guests enjoy an array of handcrafted cocktails enhanced with fresh botanicals, house-made infusions and the latest mixology techniques. Gin, the quintessential British spirit, takes center stage, evoking both nostalgia and invention.
The bar opens to an enchantingly rustic atrium courtyard outfitted with comfortable seating to encourage relaxation and socializing. During the day, the airy, luminous space is the perfect setting for morning coffee and afternoon tea in view of Castle Harbour. In the evenings, an elegant and intimate atmosphere unfolds under festive lights.
Sul Verde Restaurant & Bar
Located at the Clubhouse, Sul Verde brings the warmth and spirit of Southern Italy to the fairways. In an open and convivial setting, the heritage and simple, authentic flavors of Campania are celebrated in signature dishes such as Spaghetti alle Vongole, Ravioli Capresi, and Zeppole di San Giuseppe. Guests enjoy delectable cheeses, pastas, breads and sausages which are lovingly prepared in house using the finest ingredients. The mood is relaxed and genuine— reminiscent of a classic Italian family dinner. The sense of tradition carries over into the bar where refreshing aperitivos, homemade Italian liqueurs, grappas and wines from the south of Italy dominate an exciting menu. The restaurant also offers al fresco dining on its expansive terrace surrounded by stunning views of the golf course and Castle Harbour.
Beach Club Restaurant & Bar
The Beach Club Restaurant delivers a marketplace-style selection of the finest local and imported seafood in a casually sophisticated oceanfront setting. Overlooking Bermuda’s beautiful South Shore and the Atlantic’s endless horizon, the seasonal open-air restaurant opens to the pink sands of the island’s largest private beach. Rolling waves, salt-kissed sea breezes, and succulent marine flavors contribute to an immersive sensory experience. Enveloped in an understated beach house atmosphere, guests savor the bounty of the sea which is prepared using simple techniques to preserve the character and quality of the ingredients. Oishii, the Beach Club's Sushi concept offers sushi bar favorites, and seasonal tastings. Specializing in rosé wines, Champagne, tequila, and classic frozen cocktails, the Beach Club’s bar serves up refreshing drinks which pair nicely with the restaurant’s coastal menu and appeal to those relaxing along the beach or at the club’s two pools.
PRIVATE DINING ROOMS
Rum Room
Hundreds of bottles of wine and spirits line the walls of the Rum Room at The Island Brasserie. From a wood-plank floor to its brick ceiling, The Rum Room offers the perfect intimate ambiance for candlelit dinners and a la carte dining.
Sul Verde Private Dining Room
A private space adjacent to Sul Verde’s main dining room, this private dining space offers excellent natural light with views as “Sul Verde” suggests, “on the green.” The space features direct access to the Sul Verde’s terrace overlooking the rolling green hills of the Tucker’s Point Golf Course.
A SENSE OF TASTE
Epicurean Encounters
Bermuda Gourmet Safari
A progressive rum-tasting and degustation are conducted in our very own Chef’s garden. This experience provides our guests with a unique educational experience coupled with elegant outdoor dining. The highlight of the experience is a five-course culinary journey within the Island Brasserie’s herb garden overlooking Harrington sound. The menu features local seafood and produce whimsically prepared bringing to mind fond food memories and distinct Bermudian cuisine, from locally caught “tuna in a can” to a dessert showcasing Bermuda’s spirit of choice with classic rum-raisin ice-cream, dark & stormy gelee, and a dense, flavourful house-made rum cake.
Bespoke Dining
Sunset to Stargazing Beach Dinner
An exclusive dining experience with the entire stretch of beach and evening sky as your dining room. Guests are guided to the water’s edge where a private beach lounge complete with a fireplace and the sound of the Atlantic’s surf welcomes diners just as the sun sets. The tableside experience features a five-course set menu with wine pairing, giving focus to coastal cuisines. After dinner, diners retreat to the fireside lounge for a digestif, accompanied by a warming fire, the calming sound of surf, and the twinkling starlit sky above.
