Seafood Paella

Tuesday nights aren’t usually the most thrilling evening of week, unless you make a trip to Cafe Mediterraneo for Tuesday Night Seafood Paella. The marvelous Cafe Med Paella is tenderly prepared with long grain rice, fresh vegetables, garlic, onions, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, lobster, shrimp, scallops, squid and fresh-caught fish.

Paella is named for the special two-handled pan also called the “Paella” in which it’s prepared and served. The pan is wide and shallow, and perfect for catching the flavors of this traditional Spanish meal. In Grand Cayman, no one knows Paella better than Cafe Med. The popular signature dish is a fusion of Latin and Caribbean flavors. Choose a bottle of wine from the Cafe Med cellar and it won’t feel like the middle of the week for long!

Only CI$55.00 per couple!

Boun Appetito!

Cayman Traditions

Ladies, here is my #1 rule about splurging: make sure it’s worth it. Don’t waste a high calorie splurge on junk. We’ve all given in to an impulse like a jumbo bag of peanut M & Ms at the checkout counter and five minutes later we wished we hadn’t. Why not save splurges for treats that are truly amazing and worth every single calorie? I’m talking New York Cheesecake, creme brulee, real Italian gelato, and anything including Godiva chocolate. In the Cayman Islands, there are many splurge-worthy sweets out to choose from, including truffles from Cayman Taffy, Sticky Toffee Pudding from Calypso Grill, a slice of warm Tortuga Rum Cake drizzled heavy cream, and any flavor of ice cream from Cayman Traditions.

Cayman Traditions features a wide variety of homemade, hand-dipped ice cream in tempting flavors like Rum-Raisin, Naisberry, Mango, Papaya and even the traditional Caribbean favorite “Grape Nut” Ice Cream. Yes, that’s Grape-Nut, like the cereal.  It’s vanilla ice cream flavored with Grape Nuts and it’s fabulous!

Cayman Traditions is an ice cream parlour and an old fashioned country store, with locally made taffy, sea salt, crafts, T-shirts, affordable artwork and prints, and souvenirs. Stop in soon for a scoop of ice cream that is worth every calorie.
