1648 - An Island Restaurant is a Caribbean restaurant at French Leave Resort on Queens Hwy in Governor’s Harbour, Eleuthera. Its menu combines contemporary island cooking with local flavors, reflecting the ingredients and character of the Bahamas.

Fresh-caught fish and locally grown produce are central to the restaurant’s approach. The food suits diners looking for a resort meal with a clear connection to the surrounding island, while still offering a contemporary style rather than a strictly traditional format.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served, making 1648 suitable for different parts of the day. Breakfast provides a resort dining option for an unhurried start, while lunch and dinner extend the same Caribbean focus into later meals. The restaurant also serves drinks and offers views from its setting at French Leave Resort.

The atmosphere is casual, with a relaxed dress code that fits the island location. The setting works for resort guests and other diners seeking a straightforward meal in Governor’s Harbour, whether the occasion is breakfast, a daytime stop or an evening dinner. Its combination of local produce, seafood and contemporary preparation gives the restaurant a distinct island identity without requiring formal dining attire.

1648 is a practical choice for diners who want Caribbean cuisine in a resort environment, especially those interested in fish, produce and locally influenced flavors. The all-day format also makes it useful for visitors planning meals around time on Eleuthera rather than a single dining occasion. Table bookings are available, and dietary requirements or seating preferences can be discussed with the restaurant before arrival.
