The Farm
Part of the Seven Stars Resort & Spa, The Farm takes a sustainable approach to fine dining: its kitchen is supplied by an on-site hydroponic farm that produces six tonnes of produce per year. The fresh, crunchy salads, micro-greens and herbs require less water and less space to grow, last longer, taste better and, of course, eliminate air miles.
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the menu – which focuses on healthy, plant-centric dishes – is the result of a collaboration between Executive Chef Edwin Gallardo and celebrity chef Amanda Freitag.
Start the day the right way with fresh juices, smoothies and home made muesli, or stop by for lunch and refuel with soups, sandwiches, sushi rolls and salads. Vegetarians and vegans rave about the tofu Buddha bowl with wild rice, edamame, pickled vegetables, and arugula.
The dinner menu is different again: our guests have particularly enjoyed the chicken satay and the snapper and grits with Creole sauce. If you go on a Tuesday, don’t miss the sushi and dimsum soiree.

Embers
Opened in December 2023, Embers is one of the newest additions to Provo’s dining scene. The family-run restaurant and cocktail bar, located at The Hub in Grace Bay, offers indoor and outdoor dining and features live music by local talents every week.
But what really differentiates Embers is the wood fired grill in the open kitchen, where much of the cooking is done, which adds a wonderful smoky quality to the food. The menu changes regularly but blends ingredients, styles and flavours from Japan, Korea, the Mediterranean and Turks and Caicos.
With mouthwatering dishes such as wood fired oysters with cilantro aioli and flambadou butter, lobster dumplings with crispy chilli and charred shishito, and tuna sashimi with charred avocado and sea beans, choosing just one dish would be impossible. Fortunately, there is a large selection of small plates designed for sharing, allowing parties to sample multiple dishes in one sitting. Just be sure to save space for the smoked chocolate torte!
Embers’ craft cocktails are also highly rated. Their head mixologist not only makes the syrups, compotes and infusions that go into the cocktails from scratch, but also puts a signature twist on old classics like the Manhattan, the Old Fashioned and the White Russian - renamed the Dude here, in honour of the movie character who popularised the milky cocktail.
Location: The Hub, Grace Bay.

Marine Room
The first part of a new hotel development by EA Group to open, Marine Room is a must for fine views and even finer dining. Situated on a small rise overlooking the Bight beach, it’s the ultimate spot for viewing the sunset – preferably with one of the house-infused vodka cocktails in hand.
The menu, described by executive chef Dennis Omega as a fusion of Caribbean coastal flavours and Mediterranean techniques runs the culinary gamut, from Greek and Italian salads to house-made pasta, local seafood and dry-aged beef. Noteworthy examples include the 20-layer sideways lasagne, squid ink tagliolini with mixed seafood, TCI lobster thermidor, and swordfish crudo.
Open for light sunset bites and leisurely dinners, diners can sit out on the open deck or in the beautifully styled interior, where wall-to-wall windows ensure one needn’t miss out on the views.
Location: Lower Bight Road (opposite the Bight Park), Grace Bay West

Vita Restaurant
Perched on a 30-foot cliff with sensational views of turquoise seas, the setting and décor of this refined Italian restaurant are exquisite. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it’s a chic retreat whether you’re in search of a morning flat white or espresso, a wood-fired pizza at midday or something altogether more indulgent in the evening.
Freshly made pasta and locally-sourced seafood combine in delectable dishes, such as the lemon lobster spaghetti, whole roasted branzino and line caught tuna with Sicilian caponata and grilled eggplant puree, but there are also pork, lamb, beef and veal options and separate plant-based menu.
After dinner, order one of the indulgent signature cocktails - all of which are rock-n-roll themed – and turn your attention to the skies: Vita’s location, far from any light pollution, makes it a prime star gazing destination.
Location: Rockhouse Resort, Blue Mountain road
