Baha Mar will welcome Leola, a new Italian restaurant by chef Scott Conant, this fall at Grand Hyatt Baha Mar.
A new dining experience at Baha Mar
Leola will feature a 106-seat main dining room, a 130-seat terrace, two bars, and a private dining space, all designed by Restoration Hardware to evoke the charm of a 1920s Italian speakeasy.
Graeme Davis, President of Baha Mar, said,
“Baha Mar continues to define culinary excellence throughout the Caribbean, thanks to our outstanding restaurants and world-class chef partners. For many years, Chef Scott Conant has been a passionate champion and valued friend of Baha Mar and we’re honored to officially welcome him and his talented culinary team into our dining portfolio. We look forward to introducing Leola, Scott’s newest original restaurant concept, to our resort guests and local residents this fall.”
Chef Scott Conant’s vision for Leola
Scott Conant shared,
“Bringing Leola to life at Baha Mar is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time. I’ve always been inspired by the beauty and spirit of the Bahamas, and it felt like the perfect place to create a restaurant that’s both personal and inviting. With Leola, we’re blending the kind of food and hospitality I love—warm, soulful, and rooted in connection.”
The name Leola is a playful twist on leone, the Italian word for lion, and a tribute to Conant’s grandfather.
Italian classics with a twist
Leola’s menu will spotlight Italian favorites like Pasta al Pomodoro, Ossobucco Roasted Pork Shank, and Roman-Style Artichokes, alongside a curated wine list focused on Italian Barolo vintages and inventive cocktails.
Design and atmosphere
Leola’s interiors will blend velvet furnishings, gilded details, and ambient lighting to create a space that’s both timeless and family-friendly.
Culinary events and more
Leola joins Baha Mar’s acclaimed dining lineup and will host special events during the Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival, where Chef Conant will appear alongside other renowned chefs.
