Blue French doors open out on to the wide deck overlooking Morgans’ Harbour. Soft breezes flow in from the Sound. Views of fishing boats lazing back to their docks, with frigates soaring above, are your accompaniments to leisurely lunches and delightful dinners. This is the Calypso Grill experience out in West Bay and what a charming and delicious experience it is.
The color schemes are bold red, bold blues and burnt orange throughout with shuttered window seats along the main dining room and French Doors along the sea – kept ajar to capture the ever present breeze. By day the sun fills the room, the water sparkles and the play of colors equals the splendor of the outdoors. By night Calypso Grill enjoys the most comfortable and cozy feeling on the island.
Chef George Fowler, “the Heart” of the restaurant, is aided by his excellent kitchen staff in producing consistently delightful menus. The fresh fish comes in daily from the next door dock and is prepared grilled, blackened or sautéed. There are specials daily with additional selections of Tuna Sashimi, Marinated Conch, Sautéed Calamari, Crab Cakes, Mussels, and Fresh Shrimp, to name a few. For those more “Turf” orientated , Fillet of Beef , Rack of Lamb, and a Bistro Style Sirloin are available. Desserts are wonderful with the Chefs’ “Sticky Toffee Pudding” famous on the island.
Calypso Grill is located in the West Bay countryside with its raucous parrots, roosters and the odd cow's. Lunches are from 11:30 to 3:00 and Dinners start at 6:00 pm.

Roland's Garden- Roland is a former restaurant chef who runs an outdoor (campy) "cafe" at his house in the Cottage District, on the Southeast coast of the island between the Lighthouse and east end. Not well-marked- but you will see about 10 tables in the trees behind an anchor chain fence along the road--about 1.5 miles East of the Frank Sound road intersection at the bottom of the island. He is right across the street from the pastel-colored homes on the seaside called "Seacliffs". You arrive at his place where you are greeted by his dog (Alex), Roland tells you about dinner tonight, if you decide to stay for his 5 course dinner (bring your own beer/wine in a cooler) you will be pleasantly surprised...after dinner you pay him what you feel the meal was worth. No menu, no bill. It sounds hokey, but true. I have eaten with Roland many times. I seem to average about US$40/person (cash only) and he is very happy with that. His food is plentiful and very good. You MUST make a reservation at least a day or two in advance (I would suggest before you leave for the island) 926-7670. That is Roland in the middle of the photo on left. In summer, bring a can of bug spray- just in case there is no breeze. http://www.chefroland.com/
Vivine's Kitchen- In the East End; Miss Vivine's house is the backdrop for her charming restaurant on the water in East End. Cool breezes rustle the sea grape trees around you, large sea birds dive into the water fishing for sprats right in front of you and though it is rustic the place is truly a delight. The food is as authentic Caymanian as it comes and her ingredients - fresh fish, conch, whelks, lobster and turtle are all sourced locally. 947-7435 (Lunch and Dinner Daily)

A delicious and intriguing appetizer is the roasted garlic with black olive tapenade and flavored oils. Try for a table on the casual, outdoor garden terrace, right on Seven Mile Beach and seperated from the Caribbean by the Royal Palms beach bar -- a good spot for live music and dancing, and belonging to the same owners as the restaurant.

The only authentic Thai cuisine available on
Grand Cayman, and probably the best oriental restaurant on the island, is
located in the Queen's Court Shopping Plaza (at the beginning of Seven
Mile Beach). The Bagkok chefs prepare regular Thai and vegetarian dishes for
both lunch and dinner, served in a pleasantly exotic decor. A bit pricey if you
opt for a variety of dishes, but affordable if you each order an appetizer, and
share two main dishes. Very good chicken satay skewers to start, and the Phad
Thai noodle dish (with shrimps or vegetarian) is excellent. No smoking
permitted.

The Brasserie restaurant, well hidden in
Cricket Square (George
Town), is a sleeper. In spite of the French name, the menu is eclectic, ranging
from Italian pasta, to Mediterranean dishes, oriental-style specials, classics
like rack of lamb, and even Spanish tapas. However difficult to categorize, the
cuisine at The Brasserie is probably the most imaginative on Grand Cayman.
Serving lunch and dinner, the best bet here for a pleasant surprise is always
the daily dinner specials. No culinary sampling of the island is complete
without at least one visit. The tasteful "plantation" decor is a pleasant visual
surprise, as well.

Also located in Galleria Plaza, across from Seven Mile Beach, PD's (Pirates
Den) has more of a "bar" atmosphere, than one of a family reatuarant, and is
ideal for singles, couples and groups of friends. Popular and well-stocked bar
featuring a broad range of beers, excellent Bloody Caesars, but limited choice
of wine. You can also rent Internet time on a couple of computers. Extensive and
reasonably-priced menu with breakfast, loads of appetizers, sandwiches, burgers
and a number of "home-style" meals. Try the spinach salad and the "poutine" , a
snack specialty from Québec that may sound like a weird mish-mash (fries and
melted cheddar, covered with BBQ gravy), but is delicious "junk food" (one order
is plenty for two). And, there's a great Sunday brunch at CI$10!
