The cuisine of the Bahamas can be described in three words: seafood, seafood and seafood. If this sounds like a culinary heaven to you, then it's time to look into Caribbean villas and start planning a vacation that is sure to be filled with fresh fish, crab, scallops and just about every kind of seafood you could possibly imagine. Between scuba diving, going for hikes and relaxing on the beaches that stretch to infinity, you should have no trouble indulging in what makes the Bahamas such a sought-after destination for holiday travelers and honeymooners alike.

Tippy's Restaurant, Bar & Beach
Visitors are buzzing about Tippy's Restaurant, which is considered to be the most sophisticated eatery on the mainland of Eleuthera. Situated within a stunning pavilion, the restaurant overlooks a magnificent beach and boasts a menu that highlights the region's freshest fish. Featuring a team of Austrian chefs, Tippy's manages to create unique and succulent dishes every night, ensuring that you rarely get the same dish twice. The well-informed staff is on hand to give you wine recommendations that will perfectly complement your decadent fish 'n' chips, snapper or lobster ravioli.

Anchorage
The city of Spanish Wells isn't necessarily known for having a spectacular culinary scene, but if you know where to look, you'll be pleasantly surprised with what you find. Anchorage, which is located right in the port, serves up Bahama-style dishes without the frills: simple, to the point and incredibly fresh. If you've never tried cracked conch shell, then this is definitely the place to go, and be sure to order some local lobsters, which are on the menu when they're in season. Wash it down with a can of Bahamian beer for a true sense of bliss.

Sip Sip
The brightly lit room of Sip Sip is only open for lunch hours, which is perfect if you're looking for a quick bite to eat between trips to the beach and the links. Situated on a ridge overlooking the beach of Harbour Island, Sip Sip takes its influence from a number of cultures that have emerged in the Bahamas over the years, including Pacific Rim, Thai and even French cuisine. Feast on seafood quesadillas and fresh grouper filet as you gossip (Sip Sip translates into a local slang term for small talk and gossip) with locals about the goings on of the island.

Sammy's Place
If you want to complement your meal of conch fritters and breaded scallops with tropical cocktails, then Sammy's Place is the place to be. Owned by Sammy Culmer, the restaurant offers delicious libations like Bahama Mamas and rum punches, which go perfectly with just about every seafood dish on the menu. Sammy's Place is located on the southern tip of the island of Eleuthera, and after you have a meal here, you'll definitely want to explore the rest of the island before heading back to your luxury rentals.
