Blue Heaven & Bahama Village
Blue Heaven, Bahama Village
An open-air courtyard restaurant in Bahama Village, where chickens wander between the tables. It is famous for its towering meringue key lime pie.
Bahama Village is a neighborhood west of Old Town, home to descendants of Bahamian immigrants. Colorful wooden houses and free-roaming chickens are its signature features. Blue Heaven occupies a former cockfighting arena and brothel, and diners eat under large open-air trees. Hemingway reportedly once served as a boxing referee here. Signature dishes include key lime pie piled high with meringue, lobster Benedict and Jamaican-style seafood. The restaurant does not take most reservations, and brunch waits can run 30 to 60 minutes.
