Tom Moore's Tavern Restaurant$$$, French & Continental |
|
|
Tom Moore's Tavern was built in 1652 as a private home and is Bermuda’s oldest restaurant serving classic French, Italian and continental cuisine.
It was originally a property of Robert Walsingham who was in charge of the ship Sea Venture that wrecked in 1609. It was then known as the Walsingham House and later belonged to the Trott Family.
In early 1804, the Irish poet Thomas Moore stayed here and wrote some of his great verses.

With its four fireplaces and darkened cedar walls, the place is now an elegant upscale restaurant. The original architecture of the building has been retained.
Seafood is a specialty at Tom Moore's Tavern Bermuda and is our top favorite. During the summer, there's a tank outside the restaurant that is full of Bermuda lobsters. Other good local fish selections can be rockfish and yellowtail.

Broiled scampi, Bermuda lobster (in season), and sautéed-then-broiled Bermuda fish with pine nuts stand out. Soufflés are always excellent, as is the chef's pastry. Both change daily.
The food at Tom Moore's Tavern can be at times quite rich. Whenever we are in a mood to have a rich dinner, we would usually love to go for some of the Chef’s specialties like, quail filled with goose liver, morels and truffles, then baked in puff pastry.
Our other favorites here are roasted duck in a raspberry vinaigrette and Latino-style jambalaya.

Fireplaces, casement windows, shipbuilders' cedar joinery, English silver, German crystal and Luxembourg china contribute to a great romantic ambience.
Food at Tom Moore's Tavern is comparatively more expensive than the other restaurants, but it’s worth the price. The main courses start from $30.
