The story
Ascots Restaurant sits on Rosemont Avenue in Saint George, Bermuda, offering European cuisine in one of the island's most quietly distinguished dining settings. The restaurant earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence in 2020, a recognition reserved for wine lists that go well beyond the basics — a strong signal that what arrives in the glass here is taken as seriously as what arrives on the plate.
For lunch and dinner, Ascots brings a European sensibility to Bermuda's dining scene — a combination that rewards both residents and visitors looking for something grounded in classical tradition without the rigidity that can sometimes accompany it. The European cuisine approach suggests a kitchen comfortable with both technique and restraint.
The Wine Spectator award is the clearest window into Ascots' identity. Earning that level of recognition requires not just a broad selection, but genuine curation — bottles chosen with purpose, spanning regions and styles in a way that complements a serious table. For guests who care about what they drink alongside their meal, this is a meaningful distinction in a market where wine programs can often feel like an afterthought.
