What We Ate in Grand Cayman


I thought I would recap our dining in a single post. I know some people don't want to cook on vacation, but I don't mind. Our condo had a nice, well-equipped kitchen, and (as previously mentioned) was within walking distance of a supermarket. 

As also previously mentioned, almost everything was closed on Sundays, so I was glad that Heritage Kitchen was open for lunch when we arrived. I had the Sunday special: BBQ chicken. It was falling off the bone and covered with a sweet, Caribbean sauce. We took in our first ocean views and Caymanian culture there. The cooks were three ladies who gathered around a tiny television to watch the World Cup when they weren't serving customers. There were chickens wandering around and an old radio playing country music in the background. 




Another lunch with a great view was at Over the Edge on the east side of the island. The food was pretty good, and it was a nice place to stop on our day trip around the island.



We got takeout one night from a Cayman island staple: Chicken! Chicken! Rotisserie chicken, goods sides, and weird cornbread seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg. And, oh, the brownies! Caramel and coconut on a moist, dark chocolate brownie. Need I say more? 


We stopped for a quick dinner at Da Fish Shack in Georgetown. It had more of a bar feel to it on Friday night than a restaurant. Yeah, we were those people with kids in the middle of a noisy bar. In our defense, it was a full service restaurant and even had a kids' menu. 





Our last meal on GC was breakfast on Saturday at The Greenhouse just down the road from us in West Bay. Perfect breakfast to end our week. I would go back just for the sweet potato hash browns.
