So, if you saw yesterday’s video blog post you know that the Flight Centre crew traveled to Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa Resort and Offshore Island and had a blast of a vacation… err, working holiday. What the video didn’t show was the incredible choice of restaurants offered. Surprisingly we found time away from all that hard work (there’s my tongue implanted in my cheek again) to enjoy the culinary delights the resort had to offer. So now that I’m back at the Flight Centre compound I have the opportunity to reflect on the incredible gastronomic treats we enjoyed.

Kimonos

If you’ve never had the opportunity to experience Tappanyaki then this Japanese restaurant is a must-not-miss. Why; because Kimonos includes a dinner and a show. Our chef did a great job of keeping us well fed and entertained with his humour and knife skills. I can still feel the heat of the sizzling grill and smell the incredible flavours as the food was cooked right in front of us. The great thing about Tappanyaki is even if you’re sitting at a table with people you’ve never met before the experience quickly becomes a group event and is a fantastic way to cut the ice and meet new friends.

Crystal Room Restaurant

Walking into the Crystal Room was like stepping back in time. The first thing I noticed was the incredible chandelier and a décor that would be best described as graceful; fit for royalty. I would love to say that the few of us at our table each sampled something different but truth be told we all eyed the scallops and prime rib. The seared scallops were perfectly cooked and the prime rib was complimented with a hearty baked potato and fresh vegetables. I didn’t try the chowder but was told it was incredible. After the main course I professed to our table that I don’t normally eat dessert and, if I do, I just nibble. Let’s just say that my statement was seriously doubted because every last morsel of the chocolate volcano on my plate vanished; a delectable final course to a great meal.

I wish I had the time to enjoy all nine restaurants but it just wasn’t possible in the three days we were there; thinking it’s my reason to return! I had a few other great meals which I will share in a later blog post.

If you’ve been to Sandals Royal Bahamian what culinary experience can you share?
