Grand Cayman has many excellent restaurants and cuisines, so choosing where to dine on vacation can feel like an adventure of its own. Seaside classics, elegant dining rooms, and outdoor patios: this island knows how to celebrate good food.

And when we want to dress up a little or celebrate a special occasion, these are the places we love most. Consider this your friendly, locally guided shortlist of the best restaurants in Grand Cayman — the places we trust with our own milestone moments, sunset cravings, and long, memorable dinners.

Morgan’s Seafood Restaurant – (Seven Mile Beach Area)

Morgan’s is all about “ocean-to-table” dining — fresh-caught seafood served right beside the water at the Cayman Islands Yacht Club. The restaurant is light, airy, and casually elegant, with high ceilings, wide-open doors, and panoramic views over Governor’s Creek.

The menu leans into local fish and shellfish: crisp ceviche, simply grilled fillets, and beautiful risottos layered with clean, bright flavours. It’s polished enough for a celebration dinner, but relaxed enough that you still feel on island time. If you’re searching for the best waterside restaurants in Grand Cayman, Morgan’s belongs at the top of the list.

Bàcaro – (Seven Mile Beach Area)

Bàcaro reimagines the classic Venetian bàcaro — a wine bar serving small plates — in a stunning Cayman marina setting. The menu centers on cicchetti and Italian-inspired tapas, with medium and large plates for a more substantial meal.

Think crudo, arancini, grilled octopus, handmade pasta, and thoughtful mains. The terrace sits right on the canal, perfect for watching boats drift by as the sun fades. The vibe is warm and stylish, with an intimacy that makes the place perfect for couples or groups who love to share and linger.

Calypso Grill – Morgan’s Harbour (West Bay)

Calypso Grill feels like the heartbeat of West Bay; it’s colourful, energetic, and unmistakably Caymanian. The iconic blue shutters open straight onto the harbour, and the dining room buzzes with energy long before the plates arrive.

Seafood is centre stage here: mahi, snapper, crab cakes, and the day’s fresh catch. And then there’s the famous sticky toffee pudding — a dessert so beloved it’s practically part of Cayman’s culinary heritage. Dinner at Calypso Grill always feels like a joyful seaside celebration.

Agua – Camana Bay (Seven Mile Beach Area)

Agua blends Italian and Peruvian influences into a vibrant, modern seafood dining experience. The ceviche and crudo selections are among the best on the island, and the menu features fresh pastas, beautifully prepared local fish, and premium meats.

The atmosphere is polished yet relaxed, with a light-filled dining room just steps from the Camana Bay waterfront. It’s the perfect spot for guests looking for elevated dining with a lively, contemporary feel.

Solis at Rum Point Club – Rum Point

Solis is the signature restaurant at Rum Point Club. The vibe is a calm, coastal-inspired space with a breezy dining room, outdoor patio, and sweeping views of the North Sound.

The menu focuses on fresh, colourful flavours and shareable favourites: grilled local fish, Caribbean-inspired plates, wood-fired dishes, and refreshing cocktails. Whether you’re spending the day at Rum Point or arriving by boat, Solis delivers one of Cayman’s most laid-back yet refined dining experiences.

Grand Old House – South Sound

Grand Old House is a Cayman classic — elegant, historic, and perched above the sea in South Sound. Initially built in 1908, the plantation-style building has been transformed into one of the island’s most iconic waterfront dining rooms.

Guests come for the romantic oceanfront deck, white-linen service, and a menu featuring refined seafood and steaks with a Caribbean influence. The extensive wine cellar enhances the experience. If you’re celebrating something meaningful, Grand Old House sets the stage perfectly.

Abacus – Camana Bay (Seven Mile Beach Area)

Abacus brings a lively, urban energy to Camana Bay. It’s a Caribbean steak-and-seafood restaurant with a chic bar, an open-air terrace, and a stylish dining room.

The menu features bold, flavour-forward dishes crafted from sustainable, local ingredients. From creative seafood plates to hearty cuts of meat, everything feels thoughtfully designed. Cocktails are a big part of the experience, and the atmosphere outside spills into Camana Bay’s vibrant plaza.

Cracked Conch – West Bay

Cracked Conch sits dramatically on the cliffs at Northwest Point, offering some of the most breathtaking ocean views on the island. The sound of waves crashing below sets the tone for an unforgettable evening.

Specialty conch dishes lead the menu, alongside premium seafood, steaks, and elevated Caribbean-inspired plates. Arrive before sunset — the colours over West Bay are spectacular — and stay for the relaxed, elegant dining experience that follows.

Kaibo Upstairs – North Side / Rum Point

Kaibo Upstairs is one of Cayman’s most intimate and refined dining rooms: an elegant plantation-style space with wooden floors, soft lighting, and ocean breezes drifting in from the veranda.

The menu features inventive Caribbean cuisine prepared with top-quality ingredients, often presented as tasting menus paired with curated wines or rare rums. It’s romantic, serene, and widely considered one of the island’s most memorable fine-dining experiences.

Union Grill – Camana Bay (The Crescent)

Union brings a polished, modern American steakhouse and seafood grill to the heart of Camana Bay. With its chic décor, leather stools, a glowing bar, and a beautiful terrace overlooking the Crescent, the restaurant feels sophisticated while remaining warmly Caymanian.

The kitchen focuses on char-grilled steaks, Wagyu cuts, fresh local fish, raw-bar starters, vibrant seafood platters, and a broad range of vegetarian and vegan options. Its cocktail program and wine list are standout features, and live music nights add a lively rhythm to the experience.

Union is ideal for guests who want upscale dining with a social, energetic atmosphere — perfect before or after a Crazy Crab charter, since you can walk there directly from the dock.

Dining With Crazy Crab: Your Waterfront Table Awaits

We dock and depart from Camana Bay, which makes dinner before or after your Crazy Crab charter wonderfully easy. Step straight off the boat and wander into the Camana Bay waterfront for a relaxed meal at Agua, Abacus, or Union Grill & Bar — no driving, no rushing, just an easy island evening.
