Best lionfish tacos anywhere! Make a reservation because there is limited seating.  The restaurant is located above the Ocean Frontiers dive shop at the Compass Point Resort. If driving out to the remote east end where the restaurant is located at night, be on the lookout for coconut crabs in the road.  Try to go around them if possible.  Check out their live webcam if you can.

Amazing Caribbean and American food with an outdoor brick pizza oven on site! One of the most beautiful beaches on Grand Cayman. Try the Coconut Curry Fish, it’s so good! Every Tuesday night is their Beach BBQ Buffet serving local food, make a reservation. Takes a little while to get your bill, so go with an open mind and plenty of time to relax and enjoy the ambiance. If staying near Seven Mile Beach, take the water taxi straight to Kaibo. They have a special schedule for that night and a package price for water taxi and bbq.

Tukka

tukka-restaurant
food-at-tukka-cayman-islands

Australian food with a Caribbean twist. One of my top 3 favorite meals I’ve ever eaten! I would recommend the Cayman Conch Chowder and the Ginger Mahi Mahi. Get there before sunset and enjoy the most spectacular view of the sea. If you’re lucky enough to go on a full moon, get there early and watch the full moon rise. Around 5:30pm everyday you can witness the feeding of the frigate birds, you can maybe even feed them yourself. Don’t forget to bring your camera though! You can easily make a reservation on their website and I would recommend that.

(East end, close to Windham resort)
