Selecting from over 200 Cayman Islands restaurants with the average visit lasting a mere week or two can prove a painstaking task and choosing a Cayman restaurant that does not match your precise preferences can be both costly and disappointing. Using an extensive checklist, Activity Guide strives to eliminate the guesswork to ensure that all of your Cayman restaurant experiences provide your most cherished memories, while deriving the absolute highest value and satisfaction from your Cayman restaurant budget.

As a true Cayman Islands guide, we pride ourselves on making visitors aware of what we feel to represent the absolute best restaurants of the Cayman Islands. All of our Grand Cayman restaurants have undergone vigorous inspections and qualifications—not only by Activity Guide but through thousands of reviews at our Cayman Islands Restaurant Forums. Our goal is to ensure your ultimate satisfaction with each and every Cayman restaurant visit and to that end we have compiled a listing of our most highly valued Cayman restaurants, as well as the editor’s personal Cayman Restaurant Picks of the Week based on the Cayman restaurant dishes most requested at our Cayman Restaurant Forums.

By carefully matching each Cayman Islands Restaurant to your individual preferences, you will derive the utmost satisfaction from every Cayman restaurant experience. Put simply, don't visit one of Cayman's finest seafood restaurants and order steak and potatoes; odd as that may sound, we see it happen all the time because most visitors cannot possibly remain appraised of the ever changing specialties at every Cayman restaurant—that's what Activity Guide is for!

To facilitate this task we've created a handy Editor's weekly Picks as a basic general restaurant guide to at least ensure that you are getting your favorite dishes from the Cayman restaurants most likely to prepare them to your liking. But to maximize your Cayman restaurant experiences we encourage you to learn as much as possible about the different Cayman restaurants—both here and in our Cayman Restaurant Forums to ensure absolute satisfaction at every Cayman Islands restaurant during your entire vacation in the Cayman Islands.

Our recommended restaurants in the Cayman Islands represent a broad spectrum of what our extensive evaluation process and Restaurant Forum feedback deem to be the absolute highest valued Cayman Islands restaurants. This does not mean that we only select five-star Cayman Island restaurants! Besides budgetary constraints, many occasions are better suited to more casual and affordable restaurants. When you view our Cayman Restaurant Guide, you will see that we have compiled a diverse listing of what we consider the most highly valued Cayman restaurants in every category.

When evaluating Cayman restaurants, we consider many factors beyond a single dining experience. Our Cayman restaurant criteria is extensive and designed to provide the most consistently outstanding Cayman restaurants to our readers and members.

Cayman Islands Restaurant Criteria:
For every attraction, property and restaurant, we utilize an extensive checklist of every conceivable parameter to produce a spreadsheet, which we then input to a database and sort to derive the most highly valued establishments for every category. For instance, we do not count romance as a factor in our casual affordable Cayman restaurants.

When evaluating Cayman restaurants our criteria include (in random order):

We use the same extensive method to evaluate every establishment we recommend— from dive operations to condominiums, changing the parameters to accommodate each establishment.

By spending a little time reading the Cayman Island restaurant material here and in our forums; watching the videos; seeing the pictures and reading the Cayman restaurant reviews, you will gain a thorough understanding of the wonderful restaurants in the Cayman Islands and be well prepared to make the best restaurant selections based on your individual preferences. You will spend at least 10-20% less and derive substantially greater satisfaction from your Cayman restaurant experiences than other visitors on your very first visit to the Cayman Islands.

We wish you a Bon Appétit and a wonderful Cayman Islands Vacation!
