Best Dining Bets
The Cracked Conch, Grand Cayman (tel. 345/945-5217) is a longtime favorite and is better than ever in its post-Hurricane Ivan reincarnation, having vastly improved its seafood and international cuisine. Of course, conch is the specialty but you can also order the elusive turtle steak, served here because this endangered species is commercially raised on the island and not harvested at sea.
Kaibo Yacht Club, Grand Cayman (tel. 345/947-9975), is home to the Kaibo Beach Bar & Grill, serving superb international cuisine, often focusing on recipes from Louisiana. The fun, exciting Kaibo Beach Bar has a Polynesian setting that features flaming torches and multilevel terraces. Cecil's, located upstairs, is the gem here for dining and evokes a cross between a pagan temple and a treehouse.
Grand Old House, Grand Cayman (tel. 345/949-9333) is set in a converted plantation house south of George Town. The restaurant combines American, Caribbean, and Pacific Rim cuisines. Each dish is prepared exceedingly well, especially the fresh seafood and lobster.
Hemingway's, Grand Cayman (tel. 345/949-1234) is known for serving the finest seafood on the island, along with first-rate international cuisine. It features one of the most imaginative menus on Grand Cayman. Don't miss the catch of the day.
The Reef Grill at Royal Palms, Grand Cayman (tel. 345/945-6358), nestled in the Royal Palms at the heart of Seven Mile Beach, is one of our favorites for seafood. From the memorable chowder to the lobster-filled ravioli, the offerings here are prepared with fresh, top-quality ingredients and plenty of skill.
Captain's Table, Cayman Brac (tel. 345/948-1418), at the Brac Caribbean Beach Resort, is the most exquisite place to eat on Cayman Brac. It offers the finest American cuisine on the island, prepared with deftly handled quality. Enjoy your conch fritters and catch of the day outside by the pool.
Pirates Point Resort Restaurant, Little Cayman (tel. 345/948-1010; www.piratespointresort.com/Food.html) -- the best restaurant on Little Cayman -- serves international cuisine created by the restaurant's owner and manager, Gladys Howard, a graduate of Cordon Bleu in Paris. Try the smoked salmon cheesecake; you won't regret it.
