Fodor's Expert Review Champion House II

Ads trumpet that this restaurant—overlooking a garden with a cheery tropical motif—is "where the islanders dine"; indeed they have since the Robinson family started selling takeout from its kitchen in 1965. The West Indies breakfast, themed lunch, and Taste of Cayman dinner buffets are legendary spreads. Local food (curried goat, oxtail with broad beans, turtle soup, and heavy cake) is authentic, hearty, and cheap. Pricier global dishes range from chop suey to enchiladas and fine Indian vegetarian options like samosas and masala dal (lentils simmered with green chilis).
