Rainbow Room

Eleuthera


Local seafood and imported steak are two of the menu mainstays at this ever-popular octagonal timber restaurant overlooking Rainbow Bay, 15km south of Gregory Town. Monday, Thursday and Friday are popular wood-fired pizza nights (BS$7-24), and there's live rock music on Mondays. The Rainbow's a bit of a community hub for Eleuthera's middle section, and the bonhomie can be infectious.
