Places to eat with local food?

[chaddor11]

Where is the best place to eat at where we can get local food? We always like to try to eat something new and different at each of the islands to make it more of a memorable experience. Anybody have any suggestions?

I would love to know a place as well. Anybody :D

Some additional local food options in George Town (some closer to the tender area than others).

 

On Seven Mile Beach (closer to the Turtle Farm vs George Town) I also like Al Fresco's (ask for the "local" food specials if not offered) and Tim Buc Tuu.

We tried to go to Corita's but got there just shortly before close and they were already done serving. Bummer, but we went to Rackham's instead and had a great meal of conch fritters and fish and chips, with gorgeous views of the water. Great place to relax - not cheap though. However, everything in GC is expensive so it was to be expected.

Is there any website with a list of restaurants and what they offer (and where they are)? Thanks!

We always go to 'The Lobster Pot'. It's about 3/4 a mile from the port and is an easy walk or taxi ride. They serve Lobster(of course) but also serve Turtle Steaks. You know those cute little turtles you see at the turtle farm?... well this is where 30% of them end up(the other 70% are set free). So if you wanna try something new and definitely unique, drop by The Lobster Pot for a turtle steak.

Not quite true as of late.

 

Farm releases only eight turtles into wild

Periodically our board members want to know what percentage of turtles are released from the turtle farm. Using the farm's own numbers I calculated the release rate is less than 1%.

Check out posts #23 and #24 in that thread for the numbers.

 

Remember that the green sea turtle is an endangered species. As such you cannot import any turtle products back into the US, regardless of whether they were produced at the turtle farm.

Hi NCBOYS,

 

Could you please let me know how far is this restaurant to the port? Is it a kid-friendly place?

 

My husband and I will be there with our children (8 & 4 years old) in June. We plan to do the stingrays city excursion and then hang out at a beach (probably 7 Mile Beach?) as well as eat lunch at a seafood restaurant. My husband loves to try Caribbean lobsters and conch.

 

Any information and/ or advice you could provide would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks.

We went to the Lobster Pot and thought it was expensive and not so good, plenty of other good places to try.

For great seafood close to the port you might want to try Guy Harvey's Island Grill.

 

It is a favorite with the local business community for a nice and reasonable lunch. There is a daily special for about CI$10. Outdoor ocean-view dining is available.

Thank you both for the information. I have written down the name of the restaurant.

I was just watching a show on the travel channel about Grand Cayman. The local spots recommended were Guy Harveys, Ms. Mami, Ms. Viviene. Good luck.

Had a very delicious lunch at Miss Vivene's just a couple weeks ago while on a tour of Grand Cayman. Very authentic - fish with a Cayman sauce/relish, plantains, beans and rice, and a fritter, followed by Cassava cake. The dining room is outdoors in back on a cliff overlooking the ocean. An upscale Miss Vie's if you've ever been to St John.
