We've grown up being told to ‘eat your vegetables’ as a baseline to a healthy diet. However in recent years, eating ‘healthy’ has evolved beyond certain polarising cruciferous greens, and Cayman’s restaurant scene certainly subscribes to the latest developments!
While the same sentiments remain at its core – up your vegetable intake, avoid consuming too much sugar – healthy eating has rebranded itself under a more well-rounded approach that has proved to be far more appealing to the masses.
With an emphasis on ‘want’ over ‘should’, clean eating now prioritises food that tastes good AND is good for you (let’s not forget looks good – the phrase food envy was coined for a reason).
From brightly hued acai bowls and tasty plant-based creations, to hearty dishes made with succulent meats and locally sourced greens, there are plenty of dining establishments in Grand Cayman to choose from for your next health-conscious meal. Below are our top recommendations.
The Brasserie is a pioneer of the farm-to-table movement in Grand Cayman. Producing wild raw honey and organic eggs on-site, as well as delivering fresh daily catch, The Brasserie also houses an edible garden with fruit and nut trees. When eating at The Brasserie, you know you're getting all the goodness from their fresh and sustainable ingredients on their menu.
Head to Ms. Piper's for a deliciously healthy lunch. With a selection of salads to choose from, top your healthy bowl with chicken satay, chipotle pork, pan-fried trout amongst other tasty things. Their menu is ever-changing and is always inspired by the seasons.
