The Lobster Pot

Restaurants come and go but those that survive 30 years usually do so because of consistently good food and attentive service. Founded in 1973, Bermuda's Lobster Pot is no exception and has a renowned reputation for its lobster and other seafood dishes.

Conveniently located in Hamilton, the interior décor is distinctly nautical. Fishing nets and other maritime mementoes adorn the whitewashed walls of the Lobster Pot’s 2 dining rooms. A battered hull hangs above a fireplace in the bar area and intrigues the mind as to the fate of its owner.

Unsurprisingly, the menu is dominated by seafood but amongst the appetisers Escargot ‘Lobster Pot’ is a worthy departure. Live Maine lobsters are available year round whilst the spiny Bermuda variety are only available in season (September 1 to March 31). The Lobster Pot also offers a number of combination entrees; notable ones being the Bermuda Triangle (a combination of shrimps, scallops and fish broiled or deep-fried and served with tartar sauce or lemon butter) and the Seafood Lover’s Feast (½ Maine lobster, mussels, crab claws, clams and shell on shrimps, simmered in a saffron stock with vegetables). Stray carnivores can take refuge in offerings such as Chicken Breast ‘Forestiere’ (grilled chicken breast garnished with sauteed potatoes and mushrooms, glazed with a red wine sauce).

Reservations are strongly recommended. Unlike many of Bermuda’s restaurants the Lobster Pot does not offer a take-out service.

Lobster Pot has the best seafood in Bermuda. Their Conch Fritters are amazing! And their Fish Chowder is the best on the island! Also try the Rockfish. Their Surf and Turf meal is to die for!

I LOVE Bermuda and I LOVE The Lobster Pot! The service is great, the staff very friendly (but then all Bermudians are) and the food is fabulous! The spiny lobster is to die for. When I return to Bermuda again in June,You can bet my first dinner will be a spiny lobster at the lobster pot!

Lobster Pot has the best seafood ever. I have been there 5 times and I just love the service and the food.

Found the BEST Maine lobster and less expensive than the native lobster which has no claws and no taste. Went back 3 times. Consistently excellent. Better than at home (Cape cod).

Aug 2008 - Tried fish chowder at no less than 5 places across the island. Lobster Pot had the best. Went back twice. They'll add the rum & sherry for you, but you can guide them for more or less. Eat at the bar and get the scoop on those rare baby lobsters that are gone daily by 5-7 PM.

I have to say this place has the best seafood in Bermuda. Try the Sea Lovers Feast with mashed potatoes. A Plus.

The Lobster Pot is fabulous. It gets very busy so you need reservations. The Fish Chowder is the best on the island. I go there every time I visit Bermuda.

By far the best place to eat in Bermuda. The seafood crepe and the lobster are fantastic. Lovely setting, friendly staff and amazing food!

Stay away for the steaks and only order the lobster. Go by the name sake.

Seafood Lovers Feast with garlic mashed potatoes is the only way to go. See you in the fall. Cheers from the Maritimes, NS, Canada.

For a starter here I'd recommend the fish chowder. It was so tasty.
