WHERE TO EAT & DRINK:
The Best of Lunch and Dinner
Grand Cayman has quickly turned into a gourmand's destination. With an impressive line up of fine dining options, plus casual beachfront spots, variety abounds.
|
 |
|
Luca
This is an excellent restaurant at the Caribbean Club, on Seven Mile Beach. Open for both lunch and dinner, it features an impressive option for a gluten free menu. Try the tuna poke, vitello tonato, or the roasted branzino. |
|
 |
|
Kaibo
Located at the Kaibo Yacht Club, Kaibo offers two dining options: a formal restaurant, Upstairs, and the relaxed Kaibo Beachfront, with ceviche, watermelon and feta salads, and of course, burgers on the menu. |
|
 |
|
Avecita
This ten-seat counter restaurant nestled inside the new Kimpton Hotel's Ave restaurant is the reservation to get. Spanish tapas plus a wine and cocktail pairing make this a special experience. |
|
 |
|
Cocoloba
The perfect spot for a sunset drink and bite, Cocoloba combines Mexican street food with fresh Caribbean ingredients. Save room for the margarita popsicles and churros... |
|
 |
|
Georgetown Yacht Club
Upon landing, Villa Specialist Michael met up with his hosts at Georgetown Yacht Club, close to the airport, for a ceviche lunch. |
|
 |
|
Blue
The most fine dining experience on the island, Blue is Le Bernadin's renowned chef's seafood forward restaurant at the Ritz. |
|
 |
|
Seven Fathoms Rum Distillery
This distillery ages rum underwater, giving it a unique taste due to humidity and the motion of the sea. Stop by for a tour and a rum testing. |
|
 |
|
Caybrew
If you're a fan of micro-breweries like Cisco in Nantucket, stop by Caybrew for a tour of their brewing process, plus to sample their local beers. |
|
|
DON'T MISS...
The conch chowder at Cracked Conch...Cayman classic dishes at Mango Tree...the lobster burger at long-time favorite The Lobster Pot...

• The Caymans were fortunately completely unaffected by last fall's hurricanes in the Caribbean; the island is booming!
• Unlike other Caribbean islands, the water is drinkable in the Caymans. Grocery stores also carry traditional American products, though the selection is more akin to a UK grocery store.
• There are several non-stop flights to Grand Cayman, including from New York, Dallas, Charlotte NC, Miami, and Fort Lauderdale.
