Grand Cayman Island Shopping & Dining
Grand Cayman is a duty-free destination, so you can shop to your heart’s content and enjoy fantastic savings on perfume, fine jewelry, china and crystal. From shops in town to small malls around the island, you’ll find a bounty of local and international goods for purchase. Local arts and crafts include stunning underwater photography and Caymanian-style birdhouses. The Cayman Craft Market in George Town dazzles shoppers with leather, thatch, wood and shell items as well as traditional Caymanian food. The Farmer’s Market is open every Saturday from 7am to 1pm with Cayman-made products, including sea salt, jams, preserves, and hot sauces. Be sure to make time for a visit to the Tortuga Rum Company for a sample of their Tortuga Rum Cake and 10 blends of rum.
More than 140 nationalities call the Cayman Islands home and that rich blend creates a culinary diversity that will leave asking for not only seconds but thirds! Grand Cayman’s gorgeous setting sets the scene for romantic meals as well as a quick bite to eat along the shore. Indulge in sophisticated or simple fare and enjoy local fare such as oxtail, salt beef and beans, plantains and bread fruit, and cassava cake. Many Caymanian restaurants also delight guests with extensive fine wine lists, so you’ll be able to choose the perfect wine to complement your meal. Be sure to ask your bed and breakfast innkeepers for restaurants recommendations and find the local flavor your palate won’t soon forget.
