Bahamas - Nassau

Bamboo Shack

Address: 3M5F+6F5, Wulff Rd, Nassau, Bahamas

With locations throughout Nassau, Bamboo Shack is the go-to spot for Bahamian fast food and take-out. The fried chicken is flavorful, and there are plenty of seafood options. The conch fritters stand out for their freshness and seasoning, and the service is generally quick, although it can get busy during peak hours. Portions are generous. For an authentic taste of the Bahamas, try the "Chicken-in-the-Bag," a popular choice among locals.

Sgrano
Sgrano in Florence turned out to be a real gem, especially for gluten-free food lovers. Located near the city center, their menu is fully gluten-free, and they’ve mastered the art of it. We went for the gluten-free schiacciata—an Italian flatbread sandwich filled with fresh ingredients—and it was delicious. The pizza was just as good, with a crispy base that tasted as authentic as any traditional dough. We also tried their gnocchi and were impressed by how light and flavorful it was, even without gluten. The staff were friendly, making sure we had everything we needed.
Rumah Makan Kedaton
This restaurant was recommended by a local who promised us the best Balinese home-cooked meal we could find, and they were spot on. The rich spices and tender meats tasted like they had been slow-cooked with love, just like a home kitchen would. The sambal is no joke—spicy and addictive. It’s one of those places where you walk out feeling like you’ve just had a family meal.
Mandala Society
The Mandala Society is a nice rooftop restaurant where you can enjoy a healthy meal. They serve mostly vegan dishes and staff is super friendly. The sweet potato wedges are delicious and you should try the vegan Buddha bowl. A little pricey, but totally worth it.
Penny Lane
Boho-chic restaurant offering Balinese dishes, bar bites & signature cocktails in an open-air venue.

Habanero Kitchen Bar
Habanera Kitchen in Quezon City is a haven for bold and creative flavors. Known for its unique menu, it offers standout dishes like the Habanera 3 Cheese Pizza, which balances spice perfectly, and the Oyster Sea Sig, a surprising and delicious twist on a classic. Their smoked rum coke and basil mulitos are refreshing hits, while the Habanera ice cream combines creaminess with a spicy kick. It’s a must-visit for adventurous food lovers.

Dona Amália Restaurante Casa de fado
A fado experience you won’t forget. The owner sings, which makes it even more special. The octopus and cod dishes are delicious, and the house dessert is a must-try. It’s small and intimate, with tables close together, so you’ll probably end up chatting with the people next to you. Fado performances happen throughout the night.

Let’s seat 来座
This restaurant serves the best KAKIGORI in BARCELONA 🍧⭐️—simply a 10/10! Located in L’Eixample, LET'S SEAT 来座 not only stands out for its ice creams and drinks but also boasts an incredible and super affordable food menu! 💰 ✨ My recommendations include the mint coffee (to try something different 👌🏼), the beef rice with poached egg, the breaded chicken with salad, and, of course, the matcha Kakigori.
