TCBY

What tastes like a zillion creamy calories but is actually a no-guilt, good-for-you dairy treat? DUH! It’s TCBY! For more than 25 years, TCBY has has lured customers through the doors with Soft Serve Frozen Yogurt, which is real dairy yogurt that just happens to be frozen. Like fresh yogurt, it contains millions of live active cultures, or probiotics, and is low in calories and fat to help your body be healthy and strong.

Recent medical studies show that eating yogurt can help with weight loss: http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/news/20050317/yogurt-may-help-burn-fat-promote-weight-loss. Why not have a little fun with your yogurt and eat it frozen at TCBY? The folks at TCBY have 98% fat free versions, no sugar versions…they have something for everyone!

I just stopped in at TCBY to sample the 98% fat free soft serve. Guess what? It’s FANTASTIC!  Creamy, luscious, sinfully delicious, but no guilt! The place was jammed, with everyone ordering amazing refreshing treats, like Shivers, parfaits, fruity sorbets, and soft serve cones. The staff is delightful. Say hello to Lori Ann and see if she’ll give you a taster!

Bacchus

Enter the doors of Bacchus, Grand Cayman’s award winning restaurant and wine bar, and you will feel as if you have stepped into your favorite Parisian bistro in the Latin Quarter. Inside the warm decor, the arches give the place an authentic “wine cellar” feeling, and Bacchus is an ideal setting to enjoy a superb glass of wine from the outstanding wine list.

Bacchus is known among the local residents for the fantastic weekly specials. Dining out in Cayman can be a very expensive endeavour so locals know where to go for the best weeknight values. An excellent example is “Fondue Night” at Bacchus. It’s a blast! Pick your favorite fondue, and dip until you can’t eat another morsel. It happens every Monday and Wednesday night. (My fave strategy is to get the Cheese first, and then the Chocolate.)

Cheese Fondue  $18.95 per person

Fondue Bourguignonne  $34.95 per person

Chocolate Fondue $12.95 per person 

Don’t forget the “Champagne & Lobster Night”. Enjoy Broiled Lobster Tail, Lobster Thermidor, Lobster Curry, and Lobster Island Style, with the champagne flowing all evening too, for only CI $49.95 per person! This special runs every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

Other weekly specials include Super Steak Fridays, 3 Course Wine Dinners, and Bubble Nights, which include Veuve Clicquot and Caviar Canapes.

For reservations call 345-949-5747 or visit www.bacchus.ky
