Dining with Derencia: My Favorite Restaurants in Nassau Part One

This month, I’ve had a few people reach out for restaurant, event and activity recommendations and it literally inspired me to make lists (that I’ve shared on my socials) and of course the reason we’re here — a blog. I’ve officially been back home for a year now and realized that I’ve been dining all over the island this year and figured it was time for a Restaurant Wrapped. So as of December 2025, here are my favorite restaurants in Nassau for lunch. I figured it’ll be easier to separate by meal time so I’ll be back with a dinner recommendation list soon.

Here are my favorite restaurants in Nassau for lunch:

The Best Weekend in Abaco

For the entire year, I had been longing for an out island vacation. However, being busy with work, friends and the random things that come up in life I didn’t plan a trip and thought I would probably do it for my birthday or later on in the year. October or later seemed too far though, so one hot summer night, mid July I messaged my friend (when I should have been sleeping) about going to Abaco, Eleuthera or Exuma for the August Monday holiday. The next morning, I woke up to her saying that Abaco sounded great. In my disbelief, I asked if she was serious because I was serious and I was ready to book everything right now — and did! We booked flights and found a cute Airbnb in Marsh Harbour that same day. We had such a fun time and I’m so happy we went. Here’s everything we got up to.

Solo Adventures: Your sign to start doing things alone

Last year, I found myself living in a new country with access to many exciting things to do. Life in a big city is amazing and moving from The Bahamas to the UK was an incredible experience. As someone that only went to the movies alone a few times, I had to constantly push myself out of my comfort zone to experience new things. My solo adventures took me to a new country, concerts, restaurants, and activities. Here’s a look at everything I’ve done solo.
