Sometimes nothing will do but a huge, juicy, diet-busting burger. Eats Cafe on West Bay Road has the yummiest, freshest burgers around with a wallet-friendly price tag. Fresh buns, top grade beef and endless topping options are the reasons Eats Burgers are famous in Grand Cayman. If burgers aren’t your thing, you can choose the Triple Decker Clubhouse sandwich, the scrumptious Garlic Prawn & Fresh Mango Wrap, or the Blackened Mahi-Mahi Sandwich. Sandwich prices are in the $6.95-$8.95 range. If you are starving and feel a huge beef craving coming on, splurge on the Sirloin Steak Fajitas for $13.95.

The eclectic decor is sunny and bright, with modern artwork and big, comfy booths. One visit to Eats Cafe and you’ll see why it’s a popular local hotspot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Full Service Bar, Air Conditioned and Kid-Friendly.

No visit to the Cayman Islands is complete without a trip to an authentic Caribbean jerk shack. “Jerk” refers to a method of meat preparation that transforms everyday chicken or pork into the most succulent, juicy treat you can imagine. Jerked meat appears on many restaurant menus in the Cayman Islands and across the Caribbean. It’s worth visiting an actual jerk pit to soak up the entire experience.

First off, there is the tantalizing smell. Even if you aren’t hungry, as soon as you pull up to the jerk stand, you will take in the heavenly scent of spicy meats roasting on the grills. Most jerk stands offer the standard fare of jerk chicken or pork, steamed fish, and festival. Festival is a Caribbean version of a hush puppy that is so tasty that the little nuggets of fried dough rarely survive the trip home with me, even though my house is less than a mile from my favorite jerk stand.

Once your meat is plucked off the sizzling coals, it will be sliced up and placed in a foil packet with extra hot sauce. Usually a few slices of white hardough bread are offered as side dish. Hardough bread is a dense, sweet white sandwich bread perfect for sopping up the extra juices in a jerk dinner.

You will appreciate the affordable price (usually under $10.00 for dinner per person) and the staff, who are invariably some of the nicest folks you will come across in the Cayman Islands.

Casanova

What’s for lunch today? Same old thing? How does savory Peppered Steak served with warm Parmesan Risotto sound? This luscious entrée is only $10.00, either dine-in or carry out, at Casanova Restaurant. Casanova is a lovely Italian Piazza perched by the Caribbean Sea right in the middle of downtown George Town. Adored by locals for years, Casanova is special enough for a ten year anniversary but recently it’s become the place to scoop up an affordable and delicious lunch. The Express Lunch menu changes daily and is available Monday-Friday. This week’s menus included Chicken Milanese with Penne in Tomato Sauce, and Grilled Pork Chop with Fresh Herb and Balsamic Sauce served with Mashed Potatoes and Vegetables.

Tony Crescente, owner and native Italian, prides himself on offering the authentic taste of his homeland to his guests. Tony’s lunch and dinner entrees are prepared from recipes handed down through the generations.

 If you have the chance to dine in, by all means enjoy the beautiful ocean view and the friendly, attentive staff.  The staff will always make you feel as if your table is the only one in the room.  Everyone has a ready smile, and the wonderful accents make any woman feel special. There’s nothing like a resounding “Ciao Bella!” to make you feel like an Italian movie star. If you would rather pick your meal up to go, call your order in to (345) 949-7633.

Buon Appetito!

Looking for a local product to take back home? Try Cayman Sea Salt, a 100% hand produced solar sea salt made from the Caribbean Sea. I switched over to Cayman Sea Salt recently and use it as a primo seasoning on grilled seafood, fresh salads, tropical fruits and popcorn. The taste is superior and compares to any luxury salt in the world. The Luxury Bath Salts are a total treat, and come in luscious flavors like Sea Breeze and Jasmine. You can find Cayman Sea Salt at supermarkets like Kirk, Fosters and Hurley’s, and the craft market. You can even pick some up on the way out of town at the airport Jacques Scott Location.

You deserve a treat today. Instead of a cold deli sandwich or the ramen noodle cup you planned on wolfing down while reading emails at your desk, treat yourself to a delicious hot lunch at Gateway of India at the Strand. For only $9.95, you can eat a leisurely lunch buffet worthy of a goddess. The selections are different every day, with crisp salads, fragrant basmati rice and melt-in-your-mouth nan bread. Main dishes usually include a beef, chicken, fish and veggie options. The Fish Vindaloo is to die for. Just remember to pop an Altoid before going back to work. If you must, you can load up a container to go, but you’ll miss the impeccable service Gateway of India is known for. C’mon, we’re worth it!
