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:

Dining with Derencia: Marcus at Baha Mar

I recently visited one of Nassau’s newest restaurants, Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chophouse and it was delightful. The service was great and the food was even better. I can’t wait to return and try more of their amazing offerings. My friend described our meal as “Comfort food but make it fancy” and I couldn’t agree more. Come take a bite out of another Dining with Derencia review.

Dining with Derencia: Shima

I am just so excited to finally be able to dine at a restaurant again! Like, y’all don’t understand. I have literally been craving a culinary experience for months. I know that some people have missed watching movies at the theater, lounging on the beach, having a blast with their friends at fetes, but for me it was really the dining out. You know the “I’ll be taking care of you guys tonight, can I start you off with any of our signature cocktails?” Whew yes, I need it.
