Dine and Drink Caicos Café (649-946-5278) in Grace Bay is on a tree-shaded deck and is the perfect place for out-of-towners to mingle with locals and enjoy some of the best steak and seafood in all of Turks and Caicos. Whether you prefer red or white, make sure to try a glass of wine here, as Caicos Café is known to have some of the best French wine on the island.
