Dine-In
Many local restaurants and cafés cater to the Island's working crowd with express lunch options during the week. Reclaim your lunch hour with a sit-down meal at one of these Cayman favourites. They’re also great spots for a leisurely weekend lunch.
Agua, Bacaro, LUCA and Le Vele all offer fixed price lunch specials during the week and each have both indoor and outside dining. Anchor & Den's all-day cafe menu has tasty salads and sandwiches alongside Ms. Piper’s which also has great salad options on their lunch menu. China Village and Kazoku both offer a daily lunch buffet featuring Cantonese and Szechuan cuisine.
There's also Guy Harvey’s Boathouse Grill on George Town's waterfront and George Town Yacht Club on the marina for lunch on the water. More oceanside lunches include freshly-made pizza at Tortuga Beach Grill & Bar, sweet treats at Waffle Monkey and international dishes at Driftwood Bar & Grill. Camana Bay has lots to offer such as Union, Abacus, The Edgy Vedge, Pane & Pasta and LOCO, all of which have varied menus for express dining.
If you’re up in West Bay, head to NOVA for fresh sushi and more, Calypso Grill and Tukka West for local Caribbean flavours, Macabuca for Cayman classics or VIVO for scrumptious plant-based cuisine. Water & the Elephant is ideal for lunch meetings in their bright and airy space and Island Naturals is another great option with their comprehensive vegan menu (both do fantastic coffee too!) If you’re on Seven Mile Corridor, your options are seemingly endless, and include Casa 43, Cimboco and so many more!
Out east, there’s no shortage of options. Famous for their lionfish tacos, Eagle Ray's is a casual spot on the water, not far from Coffee Corner at the Wyndham Reef Resort with fresh pastries and artisan coffee. La Casita is the one for traditional Mexican cuisine and if you want a true island experience, head to Rum Point or Kaibo Beach Restaurant for a toes-in-the-sand lunch accompanied by some delightful fare.
Grab and Go
If you need to grab a quick bite on the go, there are plenty of options across the Island offering a variety of delights.
For speedy hot food, salads and made-to-order sandwiches, there’s Bay Market Café at Fosters Camana Bay, Kirk’s Gourmet Deli or Hurley’s Supermarket. Stop by Singh's Roti Shop for rotis and daily specials and Pizza Boat for quick and tasty pizza pies. Pico Taqueria in the Cayman Technology Centre serves up fast-casual Mexican fare and The Brasserie Market is a great spot for made-to-order salads and sandwiches using fresh, local produce. In Camana Bay, The Edgy Vedge Marketplace is another good option, particularly for the plant-based crowd! Allora in Grand Harbour has a dedicated lunch menu with sandwiches, breakfast far, salads and bowls that you’re sure to love. For artisan coffees, bowls, soups and wraps, Island Naturals have you covered. If you’re feeling indulgent, head to Chicken! Chicken! or Burger Shack. Of course, if you’re fancying some classic Caribbean choices, Heritage Kitchen is a great way to go.
