The Best Waterfront Restaurants in Grand Cayman
Discover the most fabulous waterfront dining experiences in the Cayman Islands with these top ocean front restaurants.
Clare-Louise McGrath

With shades of blue surrounding all of Grand Cayman’s 20 miles, a stunning seaside view is never far from sight. Even if the French doors of your patio do not open unto the beach, you and every resident and visitor alike can enjoy a few hours of oceanfront bliss at one of the Island's many waterfront dining spots.
What truly sets Cayman apart from many of its regional neighbours is that the decadence of waterfront dining has never been dictated by ones purse size. From sleepy seaside fish shacks with five-star views, to resplendent beachfront eateries with haute ocean-to-table menus, waterfront dining in the Cayman Islands can be enjoyed by everyone.
Our Top Waterfront Picks
Although its difficult to steer the spotlight away from the true star of the show: Cayman's sparkling waters, the standard of food on-Island has always been next to none and some of Cayman's most well-loved restaurants enjoy a front row seat to the sea.
Whether you're after sundowners or a full three-course meal, below are our recommendations for Cayman's best waterfront dining.
