European & Asian Cuisine

Italian and Mediterranean restaurants rank high on the list of the cuisine served in Bermuda, where there are probably more Italian eating places on a per capita basis than can be found in most destinations of similar size. World class dining can be found at these establishments that offer local specialties refined by their chefs. The featured dish on most menus is fish, which chefs have managed to prepare with skill and imagination.

French cooking has always been on the cutting edge of the world's best culinary creators. Fresh is key and the French have always paired food and wine. One of France's greatest treasures is indisputably its rich cuisine. Bermuda has several restaurants featuring French selections that are sure to please.

Southwestern (TexMex) and Latin flavours are also available and very different in style. The different South American spices change the flavour of any food and the beverages are just as distinct dating back to the Native Americans. Although Mexican cuisine has many similarities to Latin cuisine, it is a type of regional cuisine originating in Mexico and moving into the southwestern United States.

Bermuda features several restaurants serving fantastic Asian Cuisine including Japanese, Chinese and Thai. Bermudians insist on the best when dining out and Bermuda's Sushi restaurants live up to those expectations. Sushi aficionados will tell you that Bermuda has some of the best found anywhere.  Most Indian cuisines are related by a similar usage of spices. Indian cooking is distinguished by the use of a larger variety of vegetables than many other well-known cuisines. Bermuda features several Indian restaurants for dining pleasure or take out.

The very fact that our entrance is tucked down a narrow alley-way, gives Bolero a sense of secrecy, a place that 'only the locals know about'.

As in the time-honored concept of a Brasserie, you will find an atmosphere that welcomes people from all walks of life, (at Bolero you will often see business people in suits dining next to locals wearing more casual attire) people that are simply out for good food and friendly efficient service and, overall, an enjoyable dining experience.
