Take a Bite Out of the Lost City

By Jen Lewallen

Atlantis, Paradise Island in the Bahamas creates a legendary experience in every aspect. From their thrilling Aquaventure water park to the luxurious accommodations, all set on its massive open-air marine waterscape that’s home to over 50,000 marine animals, Atlantis vacations feel like something out of a myth. Even their world-class cuisine is a dream come true, and now is the best time to taste it all with their new all-inclusive experience, available for a limited time only. With breakfast, lunch, and dinner included every day of your stay, we’ve narrowed down the top bites you need to try during your visit.

Conch Chowder, Bahamian Club

You’re sure to see evidence of these sea snails all over the Bahamas. Their pearly-pink shells are sold as souvenirs in gift shops and along the seaside right from fisherman’s boats, so it’s a must-try for anyone visiting this island nation. Don’t let the word “snail” turn you off. Conch has the texture of clams or muscles with a fresh sweetness that’s heaven from the sea. Head to Bahamian Club for dinner to try their fantastic Conch Chowder. The tomato-based soup simmers tender pieces of conch with thyme and root vegetables for one of the most delicious preparations of this delicacy. We recommend it as an appetizer for their Taste of India entrée and the tart Florida Key Lime Pie for dessert.

Peaches & Cream French Toast, Olives

Olives Atlantis

Atlantis’ Olives restaurant serves up scrumptious meals at all hours of the day, but stop in for one mouth-watering morning. Housemade pastries, sizzling brown sugar cured bacon, and fresh eggs made your way are all excellent options, but spoil yourself with their Peaches & Cream French Toast. Thick slices of Texas toast are accompanied with a sweet peach and orange chutney. Top it off with vanilla bean whipped cream to complete the perfect start to your day.
