There’s a wide assortment of quality dining options in Providenciales to suit all needs and tastes, from the laid-back casual waterfront patios to exquisite fine dining experiences.

One of our favorite Turks and Caicos restaurants is the Tiki Hut at Turtle Cove Marina. It’s got a funky island feel, great food, and nice atmosphere right on the water. (Try to hit Chicken & Ribs night on Wednesday nights… it’s a Provo tradition!)

Another favorite Turks and Caicos restaurant is Caicos Café. The drinks are great, the bartender Jermaine is fun and personable, and it’s a good restaurant to sample some local Caribbean cuisine. Their excellent seafood jambalaya is out of this world!

Bay Bistro at the Sibonne Hotel is one of the best moderately priced restaurants on the island. You may very well have your best meal here… we did last time we went!

Coco Bistro is very nice for a romantic evening under the coconut palms and twinkling lights. More expensive, but worth it, is Magnolia Wine Bar and Restaurant at the Miramar Resort, with an incredible view of Turtle Cove Marina. Or meet for drinks by the ocean at the elegant Anacaona, at Grace Bay Club.

Go to Hemingway’s at the Sands Resort for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s a great beachfront location, and very reasonably priced… our second favorite restaurant on the island.

If you’re feeling a little adventurous, don’t leave the island without visiting perhaps the most famous restaurant on Turks and Caicos… Da Conch Shack (formerly Boogaloo’s). It’s an open air structure right on the ocean. Make no mistake about it, you’re not in the resort area anymore. But if you’re OK with casual island dining off the beaten path, beat a path to Da Conch Shack and you’ll be rewarded with the best conch dishes in the Turks & Caicos Islands. It’s one of those laid back restaurants where you really feel like you’re in the Caribbean!

We’d say that Baci’s has some of the best Italian food in the Caribbean, but since when does anyone go to a restaurant in the Caribbean for Italian food? Maybe now they will. This is fine dining along the water’s edge, also located at Turtle Cove Marina.

Located right on the beach in Blue Hills next to Da Conch Shack, Horse Eye Jack's is right out of a Jimmy Buffett song. Prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. Get the sampler platter. and while you're waiting, lounge in one of the colorful hammocks hung throughout the restaurant!

Matsuri, Provo's only Japanese restaurant (other than the one at Beaches resort) is a definite winner. Located right next to the IGA Supermarket on Leeward Highway, we've eaten some of the best sushi we've ever had at Matsuri. Second location now open at Salt Mills Plaza in Grace Bay.

Favorite places for drinks:

Horse Eye Jack's and Da Conch Shack – Located right next to each other in Blue Hills, these informal beach bars are just plain fun!
Magnolia Wine Bar – Fantastic view of Turtle Cove
Anacaona – Grace Bay Club's upscale restaurant. Sip exotic island cocktails and relax on plush couches overlooking the ocean
Hey Jose – For the margaritas, what else? Fantastic hot wings, too!
Danny Buoys – Can get smoky, but a popular, neat little pub
Calico Jacks – In Ports of Call, features live bands and draws a lively crowd on the weekends
Aqua – Often has an eclectic bar scene, good watering hole in Turtle Cove
