rom English pub grub to French gourmet cuisine — and (almost) everything in between — you can eat very well in Bermuda. And drink well, too — the better restaurants all have truly outstanding wine cellars. As for local delicacies, you must try Bermuda lobster (available only in months in which there is an “R”), or at least our world famous fish chowder. $ less than $30 $$ $30 to $40 $$$ $40 to $50 $$$$ $50 to $60 $$$$$ $60 plus
