Grace Bay Club

Grace Bay Club – Lobster Season! To celebrate the Caribbean’s favorite crustacean, Grace Bay Club’s internationally recognized Executive Chef Wolfgang von Weiser will introduce lobster-inspired menu items for the Turks and Caicos resort.

Grace Bay Club’s signature restaurant Anacaona will offer a “Lobster Lobster” tasting menu, boasting a variety of lobster dishes including Lobster Spring Rolls, Arugula and Mango, Sweet Chili Sauce; Lobster Bisque with Bell Pepper Crostini; Spaghettini-Lobster Bolognese with Thyme Ricotta and Grilled Lobster with Green Asparagus and Lemon Garlic Butter.  Additional lobster menu items from Anacaona include Caicos Lobster Pot Pie with Garden Vegetables and Truffle Crust and the classic Grilled Lobster with Lemon-Melted Basil Butter, Green Asparagus and Fingerling Potatoes.  As one of the premier restaurants in Turks and Caicos and the only gourmet oceanfront dining on Providenciales, there is no better place to sit and enjoy this Caribbean delicacy.

While locals and visitors flock to Providenciales to enjoy the highly-anticipated lobster season each year, the Turks and Caicos community remains dedicated to preserving this natural resource.  From April 1 to July 31 each year, Turks and Caicos implements a ‘closed season’, when lobsters are known to mate and flourish.  Due to the success of the program in recent years, lobster populations in Turks and Caicos have increased exponentially, and local conservation groups are constantly making adjustments to the closed season dates in order to protect the species. Please note, we are able to offer access to local fisherman and restaurants whose livelihood depends on the success of these preservation efforts if you are interested in learning more.  Please visit Environment T&C and Environment Fisheries T&C for more information.
