Coco Bistro

Our dinner at Coco Bistro was by far our favorite meal during our whole vacation in Turks & Caicos!
Be warned, reservations at Coco Bistro fill up very quickly because it is the number 1 restaurant on the island. And after our experience, I can see why! Everything about this restaurant is perfect -- the food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance is unmatched. The seating area is outside in the middle of a palm tree grove! We went for dinner on a hot, humid, July night, but we didn't feel any of the heat or humidity during dinner. I don't know how they manage to keep it feeling cool and dry, but they do a fantastic job! I reserved a table a couple of months in advance, and it was 1000% worth it.
We ordered the Conch Two Ways for our appetizer, and it was a large enough dish to split between two people. This was delicious! I really liked the conch ceviche-- it was a nice fresh alternative to the fried conch we ended up eating all week! For our entrees we ended up ordering the NY Striploin and the West Indian Style Shrimp Curry. I highly recommend the Shrimp Curry-- the flavors were on point, and this was my favorite dish of the entire vacation!
Also, as someone with a tree nut allergy, I really appreciate how thoughtful everyone at Coco Bistro is about customers with nut-allergies. The menu clearly indicated which dishes contained nuts, and the wait staff knew which dishes had allergens, and could easily explain the ingredients and process of most dishes. For example, we were served pesto filled dinner rolls with oil shortly after we were seated. Pesto usually contains pine nuts, so when I asked our waiter about it, he assured me that the kitchen omitted pine nuts from this pesto recipe specifically to accommodate more people.
Lastly, I recommend getting late dinner reservations, especially if you're traveling as a couple. We arrived shortly before sunset, and while the grove and ambiance is beautiful, it was breath-taking after dark when the trees were lit up!
