The Green Parrot - Harbour Front

The Green Parrot on Nassau's Harbour Front is a well-established spot that opens early — 7 AM daily — making it one of the best options for families who want a harbour-view breakfast before heading out for the day. The location on East Bay Street puts you right across from the Nassau cruise ship terminal, giving kids a front-row seat to the comings and goings of massive ships, water taxis, and fishing boats. The menu spans breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a casual American-Bahamian mix: eggs and grits, conch fritters, fish sandwiches, burgers, and bar food staples.

For families, the morning and early afternoon visits work best — evenings lean more bar-forward with louder music and a crowd that skews toward adults. The indoor space is large and air-conditioned; the outdoor deck faces the harbour directly. Strollers are manageable on the ground floor, though the outdoor area has some unevenness.

Staff is generally efficient and family-friendly during the day. One useful detail: the restaurant stays open until 10 PM most nights (1 AM on Fridays and Saturdays), so there is late-dinner flexibility if your family is running on beach time. Prices are moderate and portions are solid, making it a reliable option for families who want a no-fuss meal with a great view.
