41. Icoa Fine Foods
$$$ | |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.

42. Island Naturals
$ | |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.

43. Kaibo Beach Bar and Grill
$$$ | |Overlooking the North Sound, this beach hangout rocks during the day (fantastic lunches that cost half the price of dinner, festive atmosphere including impromptu volleyball tourneys, and free Wi-Fi) and serves murderous margaritas and mudslides well into the evening to boisterous yachties, locals, sports buffs, and expats. Enjoy smoked mahi-mahi pâté, brick-oven pizzas, hefty burgers, and wondrous wraps, either on the multitier seafood platter with Christmas lights or in hammocks and thatched cabanas amid the palms. Swaddled in white muslin, the nautically themed Upstairs dining room (noted for its rare rum selection) is open nightly except Tuesday (reservations essential) and serves more creative fare at higher prices. The ultimate in romance is the catered Luna del Mar on the Friday evening closest to the full moon. Tuesday beach barbecues are popular (including limbo dancing, live music, half-price drinks, and discounted water taxi service to the "mainland").

44. Liberty's
$$ | |Just follow the boisterous laughter and pulsating Caribbean tunes to this hard-to-find mint-green Caymanian cottage, where you feel like you've been invited to a family reunion. The Sunday Caribbean buffet attracts hordes of hungry churchgoers (call ahead to ensure they're open that week), but every day offers authentic turtle steak, oxtail, jerk, and delectable fried snapper with sassy salsas that liberate your taste buds from the humdrum. Avoid the overpriced Chinese dishes. There's also a George Town outpost.

- Extravagant Sunday buffet
- Good authentic local food
- Warm staff and clientele

45. Lobster Pot
$$$$ | |The nondescript building belies the lovely marine-motif decor and luscious seafood at this second-story restaurant overlooking the harbor. Enjoy lobster prepared several ways (all à la sticker shock) along with reasonably priced wine, which you can sample by the glass in the cozy bar. The two musts are the Cayman Trio (lobster tail, grilled mahimahi, and garlic shrimp) and the Pot (lobster, giant prawns, and crab). The wildly popular Friday lunch special is the decadent CI$19 lobster burger, a hefty heifer topped with a perfectly cooked 3-ounce lobster tail, bacon, cheddar, shrimp, jalapeño, and onion rings (add the day's special wine for CI$9/bottle). The kitchen happily provides reduced-oil and -fat alternatives to most dishes; vegetarians love the flavorful chili-lime polenta with grilled artichoke in mango cream and the tofu, zucchini, and yellow-squash spaghetti. The balcony offers a breathtaking view of the sunset tarpon feeding.

46. Lone Star Bar and Grill
$$ | |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.
688 West Bay Rd., Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, KY1-1202, Cayman Islands345-945–5175Known For

- Great diving and casual dining
- Cocktails and drink specials

48. Mizu
$$$ | |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.

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.

51. Over the Edge
$$$ | |This fun, funky seaside spot brims with character and characters (a soused regular might welcome you by reciting, "The daily lunch special: chilled barley soup . . . That's beer"). Expertly prepared local fare (Cajun chicken, conch steak, or Cayman rock lobster escoveitch, served with rice and beans, plantains, and fried festival bread) is a bargain, especially at lunch, though the chef also surprises with such gussied-up fare as shrimp in Pernod sauce and turtle steak in Port. The nutty nautical decor—brass ships' lanterns dangle from the ceiling, and steering wheels, lacquered turtle shells, and fishing photos adorn the walls—contrasts with cool mirrored ads for Gitanes and Mumm Cordon Rouge and the trendily semi-open kitchen with fresh fish prominently displayed. The jukebox jumps (country music rules the roost), and the tiki-torch-lit terrace offers stunning views and fresh breezes.
312 North Side Rd., KY1-1601, Cayman Islands345-947–9568Known For
- Delectable local fare
- Island insiders' hangout
- Appealing semi-enclosed patio

52. Pani Indian Kitchen
$$$ | |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.
The Crescent, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman, KY1-9006, Cayman Islands345-640–0007Known For

If you're cooking in your condo, consider the ultrafresh produce and meats from the adjacent Rankin's butcher and farm. It's open continuously from 7:30 am to 8 pm.

55. Ristorante Pappagallo
$$$$ | |Pappagallo, Italian for "parrot," hauntingly perches on the edge of a lagoon in a 14-acre bird sanctuary. Inside, riotously colored macaws, cockatoos, and parrots perch on swings behind plate glass, but Italian-born chef Alex Menegon's food is definitely not for the birds, especially his sublime risotto, pasta, and oh-so-yummy osso buco. The lost-in-the-jungle exoticism is enhanced by locally hewn stones, bamboo, homemade rope, and thatched palapas for outdoor seating. Yet the sleek deco-inspired black marble and polished brass accents bespeak the underlying seriousness. Be sure to thank Bogey, the African gray parrot, who really rules the roost.
444B Conch Point Rd., West Bay, Grand Cayman, KY1-1301, Cayman Islands345-949–1119Known For
- Marvelously romantic "jungle" setting
- Delectable Italian fare

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.

Even the poolside building, painted a delectable lemon with lime shutters, multihue interior columns, and orange and blueberry accents, whets the appetite.

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.
