This busy and eclectic eatery has a vast menu (Cajun to Chinese), including smashing breakfasts and 10 kinds of burgers (fish and veggie versions are available). The decor is dramatic—crimson booths and walls, flat-screen TVs lining the counter, steel pendant lamps, an exhibition kitchen, gigantic flower paintings, and Andy Warhol reproductions. Other options include a Caesar salad, samosas, Philly cheesesteak, and chicken fajitas. It's noisy, buzzing, and hip—but not aggressively so.
Icoa, the goddess of water, worshipped by the Indigenous people of Venezuela's Paria Peninsula, was renowned for her exceptional beauty and alluring perfume. Innovative Dutch chef Jurgen Wevers crafts food that likewise stimulates the senses with cutting-edge cuisine, from Thailand to Tunisia and Tampico, taking center stage. Asian street food reigns supreme: taste buds tango to a duck-confit rice crepe with shiitakes, fired shallots, basil, cucumber, and hoisin-lemongrass broth. Fresh-baked breads make a meal in themselves. The adjacent space has been converted into a contemporary wine bar called ENOTECA with its own light menu. Desserts are remarkable, and you can also buy handcrafted chocolates infused with fresh Key limes, passion fruit, pineapple, and Cayman honey.
This café in the heart of Seven Mile Beach brings healthy, wholesome, and sustainable ingredients to the streets of Cayman. Everything you see is fresh and chemical-free. Owner Lindsay Allen has been reading the labels so we don't have to. One of the standouts, a Thai green curry with soba noodles and cashews, is a great dish to feed your soul and nourish your body. Top it off with a tropical-fruit-laden acai bowl, the stuff of Instagram dreams, which will taste as good as it looks.
This temple to sports and the cowboy lifestyle serves a Texas-size welcome and portions. If it can be barbecued, deep-fried, jerked, pulled, or nacho-ized, it's probably on the menu. Many locals swear the burgers (six options piled high with fixings from pickled jalapeños to pulled pork) and hickory-smoked barbecue ribs are Cayman's best. Such Tex-Mex standards as shrimp fajitas are appropriately mouth- and eye-watering, and regulars lick their chops at the reasonable prices, especially on theme nights, when you can get all-you-can-eat fajitas and Budweiser bucket specials.
It's a toss-up as to which is sexier at this pan-Pacific bistro: the sleek decor or the glistening, artfully presented food. The first, courtesy of Hong Kong designer Kitty Chan, is as sensuous as a 21st-century opium den with a back-lit dragon, contemporary Buddhas, glowing granite bar, wildly hued throw pillows, and enormous mirrors. The bartenders have developed a loyal local following for their flair in more ways than one. The chef's trot effortlessly all over Asia for culinary inspiration: terrific tuna tartare, decadent duck gyoza, killer kung pao chicken, smashing Singapore fried noodles, heavenly honey-glaze ribs, beautifully crispy Okinawan-style pork belly, and two dozen ultrafresh maki (try the signature roll). An extensive tea selection and a sake and wine list are also offered.
Nestled in the backyard of Seven Mile Beach, Ms. Piper’s cottage holds mementos of her travels, influencing the dishes, drinks, decor, music, and special touches. Her kitchen is a reflection of her life journey—a representation of her cultural and spiritual pursuits as well as her celebration of graceful aging that is abundant and never-ending. Ms. Piper has created a space marked by free spirits, fashionable wanderers, spirited youthfulness, and natural femininity.
The dazzling and luxurious pink-seated restaurant at the Grove Cayman offers delightful Greek and pan-Asian cuisine and sea breezes, all in a stunning setting. Enjoy the outstanding menu of fresh ingredients and baked goods from the in-house bakery, sip on a selection of award-winning 100-point wines and Champagne while you listen to music and savor the convivial atmosphere. At Mykonos, it's about relaxing and unwinding in style.
In every respect, from the decor to the cuisine, Pani is a joyous celebration of street food from around the subcontinent, with haute gloss. The space breathtakingly creates an Indian street bazaar indoors: bamboo-and-burlap awnings, billowing multihue fabric, representations of such deities as Ganesha, a wall of dyed tea bags, and huge brass tandoor urns in the open kitchen. Among the many standouts (with just the right amount of heat, which the restaurant will happily adjust) are prawn tandoori, wonderfully complex savory chaats, lentil dosas (crepes), and paneer butter masala. The vast vegetarian options are good enough to convert the most ardent carnivores, and the express lunch is one of Cayman's best bargains.
Neapolitan-style pizzas, shawarmas, and flatbreads are served in a garden flanked with leafy palms and an authentic Italian brick oven.
Inspired by the vibrant culture and glamour of the 1960s jet set society, Saint June provides an inviting atmosphere where guests can savor refreshing cocktails and exquisite dishes. Signature creations include local favorites like jerk chicken with mango slaw, and South American dishes such as Argentinean beef empanadas and Mexican esquites (toasted corn). Guests may also enjoy the Tourist Tree, made from local botanicals, or inventive drinks like Chic and Skinny, blending mezcal with local flavors. All this, surrounded by the stunning beauty of Seven Mile Beach.
A trendy take on the classical steak house can be found in the heart of Seven Mile Beach. The expansive menu dictates bold offerings using the finest cuts of certified Angus beef and fresh seafood. After dinner, lounge and sip on an espresso martini mousse dessert in swanky surroundings akin to the Meatpacking District in New York City. It’s a fantastic place to treat yourself on the last night of a trip: the bill won’t be small, but it is worth it.
This cheerful, cherished locals' secret serves haute comfort food—great burgers, wahoo-mushroom bites, and fabulous fish tacos—that elevates pub grub to an art form at bargain prices. Even the poolside building, painted a delectable lemon with lime shutters, multihue interior columns, and orange and blueberry accents, whets the appetite. Wash your food down with a signature libation like the Painkiller, and take advantage of affordable nightly dinner specials such as red snapper amandine in lemon butter caper sauce, and Cuban roast chicken marinated with sour orange, garlic, lime, and olive oil.
East meets West at this elegant eatery, and the combination makes for a tasty meal. The Thai chefs turn out splendid classics like yum nuer (sliced chargrilled strip loin tossed with green salad in lime dressing), and seafood lovers can opt for the fresh sushi; plentiful vegetarian options include curries perfumed with lemongrass. Sunday's all-you-can-eat Thai sushi buffet (just CI$19.95) is a bargain. Desserts return west, besting those at most Asian restaurants; dark- and white-chocolate mousse cake with crème anglaise and raspberry coulis is a standout.
The industrial-chic setting of this wildly popular pizza and pasta joint cleverly recalls similar Brooklyn eateries in DUMBO and Williamsburg with natural wood tables for family-style dining, exposed piping, oversize metal lighting fixtures, distressed floors, and silk-screen paintings of musicians like Ray Charles and Diana Ross in Fauvist tones. The food proves equally trendy and appealing. You might start with the bountiful butcher’s board of artisanal cheeses and charcuterie or a definitive fried calamari tossed with blistered tomatoes, artichokes, olives, and aioli. Pastas are all Mamma mia garlic and attitude (marvelous meatballs), while the creative pizzas (the jerk chicken is dynamite in more ways than one, and the Nutella s'mores 'za makes a divine dessert) display Wolfgang Puck–ish flair. The attention to detail shows in everything from the garnishes on the craft cocktails to the marvelously presented flowerpot brimming with homemade sourdough.

Ultracontemporary design with industrial elements (exposed piping, raw timber, tugboat salvage) is a counterpoint to the down-home fare at this bustling glorified diner, whose choice seats are on the patio. Comfort food aficionados can launch into the splendid chicken and waffles, meat loaf, and poutine. The kitchen is also adept at more inventive dishes, such as a polenta-portobello burger with goat cheese and a pork belly taco with cilantro and spicy kimchi sauce. Finish off your meal with the enormous cinnamon bun, though it might finish you off.
This modish locals' lair serves superlative sushi. The main room's scarlet cushions, cherry blown-glass pendant lamps, leather-and-bamboo accents, orchids, and maroon walls create an exciting vibe. Savvy diners literally leave themselves in Yoshi's hands (the rolls and nightly sushi "pizzas" are particularly creative), while the raw-phobic can choose from fine cooked items, from tuna tataki (meat or fish steak, served raw or lightly seared) to tempura and teriyaki. The congenial staff recommends sake and beer pairings, but the wine and martini selections are also admirable for an Asian eatery.
