So, while you might plan your day around beach time and exploring the island’s natural beauty, you can also think about where you’ll enjoy each meal. Here are our picks for the best spots to eat in Grand Cayman.

The Best Dining Options on Grand Cayman Island

Coccoloba – Beachside Mexican Fusion

If you’re already going to be on Seven Mile Beach, why not walk over to Coccoloba when you’re getting hungry? This restaurant literally sits on the sand, so you get immaculate views to go with your delicious meal. Coccoloba combines Mexican street food with Caribbean ingredients and preparation. While you can find all of your favorite dishes like quesadillas and tacos, you’ll also find unique options like lobster fundido, red chili pork, and grilled prawns.

Casanova – Italian Favorites

If you want to overlook the water but you want something a bit more refined, Casanova is a remarkably chic yet casual option. As an Italian restaurant, you can take your pick from all your favorite pastas, but the real treat is sipping on an Italian wine as you watch the sunset. Morgan’s Seafood Restaurant – Refined Dining Although Morgan’s Seafood Restaurant doesn’t overlook the ocean, it’s still a fantastic waterfront dining experience.
