Gulfstream Restaurant Bermuda: Menu, Hours and Horseshoe Bay Dining
$$, Italian, Seafood, Sushi
Updated: October 2026
I always tell visitors that finding a great meal after a long day in the sun should not be a hassle. Gulfstream Restaurant sits directly across South Road from the entrance to
Horseshoe Bay Beach.
It is the ultimate convenience spot when you are shaking sand out of your shoes and need serious food without driving back to town.

Who This Is For / Who Should Skip
If you just spent four hours swimming and want a high-quality, air-conditioned meal within a two-minute walk from the beach entrance, this is your spot. It is fantastic for groups with clashing cravings because the kitchen handles everything from fresh sushi to Italian comfort food.
Skip Gulfstream if you expect a table overlooking the ocean. The restaurant is housed in a roadside building with large blue awning, and the dining room faces the street, not the sand. If you want to hear the waves crash while you eat, you will need to look elsewhere.
Gulfstream Bermuda Menu Highlights
The most common question I get about this place is simply, "What do they actually serve?" The Gulfstream menu is famously eclectic.
Start with the
traditional Bermuda foods. Their Bermuda Fish Chowder is served exactly as it should be, with small cruets of black rum and sherry peppers brought to the table so you can season it yourself. You will smell the dark, spiced broth before it even hits the table.

For mains, the sushi bar is a massive draw. They bring in fresh catches daily, and if you visit during the local Spiny Lobster season (September through March), you can often pick your dinner right from their live tanks.

If seafood is not your thing, the kitchen pivots surprisingly well to authentic, thin-crust Italian pizzas and pastas. They even serve rich Indian curries, which is a nod to the diverse culinary background of the chefs.
What Surprised Visitors the Most
Most people do not expect a casual beach-adjacent restaurant to execute Japanese, Italian, and Indian cuisines at such a high level under one roof. The quality across the board is consistently sharp.
Another huge perk is the parking lot. Finding a spot to charge your rental vehicle can be stressful, but Gulfstream has two dedicated EV charging stations right out front. You can plug in your micro-car while you eat.

Common Mistakes
Do not walk in directly from the beach dripping wet. While the vibe is relaxed, you still need a proper cover-up and shoes to sit in the dining room. The tile floors near the entrance can get surprisingly slick if previous guests ignored this rule, so watch your step.
Also, do not assume you can just walk in for dinner during the peak summer months. The post-beach crowd fills the tables fast by 6:00 pm, so calling ahead for a reservation is highly recommended.
Pro-Tip: If you are exhausted and just want to eat in your hotel bed, Gulfstream is available on local delivery apps like Sargasso and Five Star Delivery.

Alternatives
If the menu does not appeal to you or the tables are full, you have other solid options nearby.
If you want your toes in the sand with an unobstructed ocean view, head west down South Road to
Coconuts at The Reefs.
If you prefer elevated, panoramic views of the island, drive up the hill to
The Lantern Cafe at the base of
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, which has outdoor seating and vegan options, in addition to indoor dining with fireplace that can keep you warm in the winters. Expect coffee and fresh baked goods.
