1.Local and International Cuisine: The Wharf Restaurant & Bar

The Wharf Restaurant and Bar is known far and wide for its fresh seafood, local dishes, international dishes, and even steakhouse classics.

Not only will you enjoy truly delectable dishes but you will do so with a stunning oceanside view. The restaurant overlooks the water so visitors can enjoy their expertly crafted plates (and cocktails!) amongst nature’s grandeur. 

2.Fine Dining Restaurant: Grand Old House

When you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience, then you need to check out Grand Old House without question. Originally named the Petra Plantation House when it was built in 1908, the Grand Old House now stands as the first upscale restaurant in the Cayman Islands. It’s located on the waterfront and exudes elegance– and even is substantial in its wine, as it won the Wine Spectator Award specifically for its impressive wine collection.

You and your palate can enjoy Caribbean-international classics with a glass of fine wine, then top your meal experience off with a glass of Armagnac and an authentic, in-house hand-rolled cigar. All the while, you can witness stunning sea views and sunsets with a satisfied stomach, mind, and soul.

3.Seafood Restaurant: Blue by Eric Ripert

Blue by Eric Ripert provides remarkable fresh seafood and the elegant ambiance of the Ritz-Carlton in which it stands. The gourmet restaurant is operated by New York’s seafood master Chef Eric Ripert. It is the territory’s only AAA Five Diamond restaurant, offering diners exquisite local seafood prepared in a masterful manner. They even offer over 700 fine wines to perfectly pair with your dining experience.

However, as of the writing of this article (June 2022), Blue by Eric Ripert is temporarily closed. If it still manages to be closed while reading this, The Lobster Pot is the runner-up for some of the best seafood in George Town, which also brings us to our next point…

4.Caribbean Cuisine: Lobster Pot

When you purchase Grand Cayman real estate for sale, you should certainly dabble in the local cuisine! The Lobster Pot is a great choice, which was first established in 1965 and has been the island’s longest-standing restaurant. Owned and operated by the same family for nearly 50 years, this restaurant offers diners exquisite panoramic views of the sea, especially when seated on their seafront deck above the bay.

Their menu is filled with scrumptious local favorites, like the Lobster and Mango Salad and Conch Fritters along with Cayman-style prepared seafood. All of the ingredients in their Caribbean dishes are fresh, succulent, and beyond gratifying. According to numerous reviews, another point is certain: their desserts are truly divine, too!
