The only restaurant on the island to have seating right on the sand, Mickey’s Beach Bistro & Bar at Bermuda’s Elbow Beach is the perfect place for an intimate meal of savory seafood under the stars. The fresh and simple menu includes linguine pescatore, a pasta dish with fresh seafood in a tomato sauce, lemon grass skewered scallops with a coconut dressing and a noisette of lamb with butter, sauteed prunes, potatoes and baked shallots. Chef Massimo Olivari explains how he landed at this bistro-on-the-beach. Born and raised in Italy, Chef Di Meglio discovered a world of fresh fish and seafood and new spices when he moved to Bermuda 12 years ago. These local ingredients inspired a challenge to create innovate dishes with different combinations of flavors. Keeping a simple but refined menu, he displays two of the most popular dishes on the menu at Mickey’s: a pink swordfish carpaccio served over a crunchy vegetable salad and garnished with chives and red peppercorn and a chicken mango salad with fresh fruit which has been on the menu since the restaurant opened. Next chef Di Meglio highlights the pasta side of things with a paccheri di gragnano, a large tubular pasta from the South of Italy that’s tossed in a sauce of fresh yellowfin tuna, zucchini and clams. Plating up even more sustenance from the ocean, he presents a seafood & shellfish mixed grill. Raise a glass of white wine to fresh island cuisine accompanied by the sound of the ocean’s waves. Hear from the director of Mickey’s Restaurant, Gioacchino Di Meglio, who describes the beauty surrounding the restaurant and the friendly service and passion that keeps guests coming back to Mickey’s.
