An Epic Lunch at Bonefish: Sushi, Guinness, and a Day at Royal Dockyard

Ah, Bermuda. The kind of place where you can find yourself having lunch on a sunny day, with the ocean glistening just beyond your table. This was exactly my experience at Bonefish in Royal Dockyard, where I recently enjoyed one of the most memorable lunches I’ve had in a long time. The setting, the food, the drinks—everything was spot on.

A Day Made for Dining Al Fresco

The day couldn't have been better suited for outdoor dining. The weather was just right: blue skies overhead, a light breeze, and the sun lending that warm, gentle glow to everything around. Sitting on the patio at Bonefish, I had a perfect view of the dockyard, with tourists and locals alike soaking up the day.

Sushi and Guinness: An Unexpected Pairing

When it comes to my dining choices, I’ll admit I can be adventurous. So, when I noticed that the menu included both sushi and Guinness, I figured, why not? After all, life is too short not to try new things, especially when it’s sushi paired with a rich, dark pint. The sushi arrived, beautifully presented, and each bite was fresh and flavorful.

The Guinness was smooth and rich, contrasting perfectly with the lightness of the sushi. I’ll be the first to admit that sushi and Guinness might not sound like a match made in heaven, but it worked! There was something about the robust flavor of the Guinness that complemented the delicate, fresh taste of the sushi. It was like an unexpected harmony, and now, I think I might have a new favorite pairing.

Soaking in the Sights and Sounds

Eating at Bonefish in Royal Dockyard isn’t just about the food—it’s the full experience. From the bustling atmosphere of the dockyard to the laughter of people passing by, there’s an energy that’s both invigorating and relaxing. You’re sitting there, enjoying great food, and all around you, the beauty of Bermuda is in full swing. The sights, the sounds, even the scent of the ocean in the air—it all adds to the meal in a way that’s hard to put into words.

Why Bonefish Should Be on Your List
