lunch suggestions

[airlink diva]

I'm going to the Caymans in May. I have an early tour and want to eat lunch prior to going back on the ship. I love counch and can anyone suggest somewhere to eat that's close to the pier? I ate at a place two years ago where alot of the locals where eating, but can't recall where.

Near the port...there's...

 

Breezes by the Bay-we loved this place. It's in a building that says "Landmark" on the top. Breezes has a balcony, which faces the port area. The food was good.

 

Hard Rock-It's just a block up the road (toward the right of the port area). The food was fine, but we preferred Breezes.

 

Rackhams Pub-It's a 5 minute or so walk (toward the left of the port), but it's right on the water and we also enjoyed it.

 

Paradise Restaurant-I think that's the name of the place. We didn't eat there, but it is right on the water, and just to the right of the port area. It's across from the (or near the) Hard Rock.

 

We had conch at Breezes, and Rackham's. I'm sure there are other places, and if locals eat there a lot, the ones I listed may not be what you are looking for, but I thought I'd list them for you.

 

Have a great time! :)

I second Rackham's Pub. We ate there several years ago and really enjoyed it for lunch!

I also have menus for Breezes & Hard Rock, if anyone is interested. :)

Another vote for Rackham's, I thought they were hit by the hurricane???

Yes, I would love to see the menus for Breezes, thanks.

I have a book for a delivery service (from when we spent the week there). I know there are more things on the menu, but this is what they have listed. These are Cayman dollars, so you need to add 20% and I think they automatically added 15% tip on top.

I had posted this at an earlier date...so I just had to cut-and-paste for you. If you have any other questions, let me know. The other restaurants listed in the book aren't near the port area. Our favorite was Coconut Joe's, but it's a ways down the 7MB area (and would be hard to get to unless you had a rental car).

 

I don't think this is the entire Breezes menu, but I could be wrong. This was from the deliver service book. Just remember these prices are Cayman. It's 20% more for US dollars. I don't remember for sure if they added the tip on the ticket or not, so you might double check your bill. We loved the food, and the atmosphere. The balcony is also a place to take great photos of the port area. This makes me hungry...and want to return to GC!!!!!

 

 

The bar menu isn't listed, but I remember they offered the following...

 

Coconut Shrimp (without the rice & peas, shoestring veggies and cornbread-it was $9.95, I believe. With the above items is on the regular menu).

 

Three small cheeseburgers (I think this came with fries.)

 

Crab cakes

 

Chicken Fingers

 

And a few other things, but I don't remember exactly. The bar menu had smaller portions or fewer side items on the menu. More sandwich/snack type things.
