Grand Bahama Island - If you haven't visited the
Garden Cafe and Bar at the Garden of the Groves
recently, it is time to go! The cafe has become a popular gathering spot for the
community. Julia Ryan and her staff prepare succulent entrees on the grill with
the freshest of salads.
The popular and healthy Chicken Greek Salad are available at the Cafe every day

There are the old favourites like
Salmon, Steak, Bratwurst and Burgers but
on Friday night specials are being offered. There is
Flank Steak or Spicy
Chicken served on a delicious salad of baby greens, spinach, grapes, kiwi,
strawberries, alfalfa sprouts, snappy peas, tossed in an olive oil and orange
dressing. Barbecue Ribs have also become a favourite on Friday evenings served
with potato salad or a choice of
Greek, Caesar or Garden salad. Now that the
evenings are cooler, delicious soups like leek, potato or broccoli can also be
found among the specials. To top off the evening there is always the choice of
home-baked carrot or cheese cake, prepared on site by Tina, the pastry
chef.
On Friday nights, while dining, you are entertained by our video music
productions on our
new large movie screen on the cafe deck. This week you can
enjoy Barry Manilow.

classic smoked salmon platter with creme cheese and bagels.

The Garden Cafe and Bar is such a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the
tranquility and beauty of the Garden. You may sit under the covered deck along
the ponds and waterfalls or choose to have a more private location on one of the
three decks near or under the giant fig tree. This area is especially suited for
larger parties.
Total seating capacity at the Cafe and Bar is 130 persons.
And if you are concerned about mosquitos - don't be! We have invested
substantial research and resources into our
innovative mosquito magnets. We have
placed five of these units that look like outboard motors throughout the Garden
and the results have been astounding! Our guests and visitors have questioned us
this summer about the absence of the bugs! Yes, these units are working - they
will only dispose of biting insects but not harm any other wildlife!
