GRACE BAY
Grace Bay is the premier hotel and restaurant district in Turks and Caicos. Fine dining and trendy restaurants are easy to come by in this hugely popular neighborhood.
PROVIDENCIALES
Bight Settlement in Providenciales is where the locals live and is your best stop for budget accommodations and local cuisine. It’s definitely more of a charming authentic experience, but you don’t have all the picture-perfect beaches and as many gourmet options.
GRAND TURK
Grand Turk is a top cruise ship destination and has a variety of restaurant options to choose from. It’s a gorgeous island and is a great place if you just want to relax at the beach and eat at more touristy oceanfront restaurants.
Budget Restaurants
Mango Reef Restaurant
Located in Turtle Cove Marina, Mango Reef is a modern eatery with a palm-decked terrace overlooking the water. The atmosphere is incredibly tranquil, the cocktails are inventive, and you’ll find the perfect combination of international and local fare. Stop by for some lobster curry, surf and turf, or the Dominican paella and red snapper fillet for a relaxing night on the water
Jack’s Shack
For a real island experience, head to Jack’s Shack where authentic flavors are served deck side in a relaxing, open-air tiki bar overlooking the sea. After 15 years under founding owners Jack and Janet, the beloved beach bar continues under new management that’s committed to maintaining the original character and atmosphere. You can’t go wrong with the conch and the jerk chicken paired with an ice-cold beer or cocktail. Once you’re done with your meal, kick back and stay awhile with a drink from Jack’s and a spot on the beach to enjoy the warm Caribbean breeze.

Miss B’s charming yellow house is a locally owned eatery with all the homemade dishes you love. Now located at the Carlton Williams Promenade in Bottle Creek, this charming waterfront spot serves fresh fish sourced from local fishermen alongside quintessential Turks and Caicos sides, you’ll be hard-pressed to find better service and local authenticity elsewhere on North Caicos. Miss B’s famous seafood dishes include grouper, snapper, and lobster along with fried plantains and homemade baked goods, are best enjoyed during the Wednesday Fish Fry with live music from Lovey Forbes or Saturday night karaoke. The new location offers beautiful views of Bottle Creek and a playground for families with children.
Turks Kebab
Make sure you get to Turks Kebab early, because this little lunch spot in Providenciales fills up fast. Their Turkish, Mediterranean and Greek fare are popular among locals and visitors alike for their gyro wraps, falafel, and fresh seafood sides. A true gem is the pita doner kebab which you won’t find on any other menus in Turks and Caicos.
Sweet T’s
It’s hard to miss Sweet T’s bright pink and white shop in Downtown Providenciales, famous for serving the best fried chicken on the island. Their hot sauce batter and seasoned fries have just the right amount of kick to keep you coming back for more. This local favorite (and hidden gem amongst tourists) has remained the best spot for crispy chicken wings for over twenty years.
Midrange Restaurants
Da’ Conch Shack

The Deck at Seven Stars
While Seven Stars resort is the epitome of high class and luxury, The Deck is their informal sister eatery featuring quick bites, local beers, and stunning views of the Caribbean. Stop by for a juicy hamburger or some conch fritters but stay for the live music, drinks, and bonfire on the beach!
