Exuma has fewer restaurant options than Nassau or Freeport, and hours can be irregular — some spots only open certain days or evenings. It's wise to check ahead and not assume your favorite spot will be open. Salt N' Fork helps by showing current hours and ratings for Exuma restaurants. Grocery stores in George Town are also an option for self-catering.
In Exuma, try freshly caught grouper or snapper, conch prepared in any style (salad, cracked, chowder), and lobster during season (August to March). Several local spots also serve traditional Bahamian sides like peas n' rice, potato salad, and coleslaw. The simplicity of the cooking — fresh ingredients, local recipes — makes Exuma's food especially memorable.
A handful of cays beyond Great Exuma have small restaurants or beach bars, typically accessible by boat. Staniel Cay Yacht Club is the most well-known, offering food and drinks in a classic out-island setting.
