Dune

Top choice in New Providence


French-American celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten created the menu at this ultrapopular (and ultrapricey) fusion restaurant, floating atop a dune in front of the genteel Ocean Club hotel. The menu globe-hops with agility: Asian fish dishes, Australian lamb, Bahamian lobster and truffle pizza.
