Residents and visitors alike appreciate the Cayman Island’s well-developed and ever-expanding restaurant scene. Given that we enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world, the quality of restaurants in Grand Cayman graciously live up to the standard of their patrons – gracing the Island with a long list of great places to eat.
The Culinary Scene
With everything from fast-casual and healthy eating, to gourmet dining and award-winning wine lists, epicures and oenophiles always have plenty of restaurants and eateries to choose from and each year Cayman’s culinary landscape expands further.
Whilst international dining trends are being ushered in, eating local is always in style, and from West to East, you’ll come across a number of local dining hot spots serving up the Island’s bold and flavourful classic dishes.
Find Restaurants by Cuisine
Explore global tastes at the many eateries on offer – trying something new or sticking with your all-time favourite – by taking a shortcut and searching by cuisine to find your favourite dish at a number of Cayman's brilliant restaurants.
Find Restaurants by Area
Staying along Seven Mile Beach and hungry for something nearby? Or hoping to explore a new area of Cayman and plan to eat there? Either way, searching by area makes finding a tasty local spot easy!
Waterfront Dining
Being surrounded by water, there's no shortage of waterfront dining in the Cayman Islands. Many of the Islands' best restaurants sit right on the shore line, and many others lie on the edge of canals and harbours. Watch as frigate birds soar overhead and swoop down to the water, see divers submerge and return from exploring the underwater world, and gaze across the horizon as seemingly endless boats sail past. And while you do, feast on all you can imagine, including seafood that was likely caught in the very water you now sit beside.
Sitting and enjoying your lunch or dinner by the Caribbean Sea is an unforgettable experience that will make your time in Cayman one to remember.

Brunch
Coming to Cayman, you'll hear many visitors and locals talk of the famous brunch scene. Of course, bottomless brunch is very popular around the world, but it has become an institution in Cayman. Gather with friends and family and feast on endless servings of sushi, BBQ meats, charcuterie plates and mouthwatering desserts, all washed down with champagne, prosecco, beer, cocktails, wine, or all of the above!
Everywhere does brunch slightly differently, but from around midday every Sunday, you can partake in this weekly island tradition. It's a great way to mark special occasions, or just get together. Many of the major hotels host brunch, but you'll also find popular options at many of the islands' restaurants across the islands.
