Golden Spoons Review: Taikun
(CNS Foodie): Tucked away in a quiet corner, just beyond the splendidly decorated foyer of The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, is an unassuming set of wooden sliding doors, which remain locked until 6pm each day. Once opened, this portal transitions patrons from the bright, cheerful environment of the adjoining Silver Palm Lounge to a dimly lit […]
Golden Spoons Review: Taco Cantina
(CNS Foodie): After a day spent in East End enjoying a break and a change of pace, my partner and I decided a fitting way to end our little “adventure” was to try out the newest spot in the district, Taco Cantina. Turning into what may very well be the smallest parking lot in the […]
Golden Spoons Review: Icoa
(CNS Foodie): While Icoa’s location in Seven Mile Shops does not offer a spectacular view, it is a lovely little restaurant where I love to breakfast. But my most recent visit was in the evening as my partner and I wanted to try what was on offer for dinner.
Golden Spoons Review: Saltwater Grill
(CNS Foodie): I am always eager to try a new restaurant that emerges on the scene, but prefer to wait a while to let them work out the bugs (hopefully, not literally!). While Saltwater Grill has been open for just a few months, it is the latest addition to a chain of restaurants, each with […]
Golden Spoons Review: Agave Grill
(CNS Foodie): Of all cuisines, Mexican is my favourite, though I do admit to liking Tex-Mex and preferring a crispy taco to a soft one. But I also appreciate that the most important aspect of a Mexican meal is the flavour, no matter the vessel in which it is served. So it was with great […]
Golden Spoons Review – Kazoku Japanese Bistro
(CNS Foodie): I love sushi, so when I noticed a Japanese bistro next door to China Village in Plaza Venezia I was quite keen to try it, and I recently managed to make it over there. It is not the most glamorous location for a restaurant but we were more interested in the food than […]
Golden Spoons Review: Craft Food & Beverage Co.
(CNS Foodie): While not considered “fine dining”, the gastropub that is Craft Food & Beverage Co. is perfectly suitable for a casual meal with friends and family or a cosy date with that someone special. The atmosphere at Craft is pretty laid back, and the food…well, it can easily be labelled “comfort”.
Golden Spoons Review: Andiamo
(CNS Foodie): I had been meaning to try out Andiamo at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman for a while but was put off by my one encounter with the restaurant which left me with the impression that it was an upmarket café. So, it was with some reservations that my friend and I decided to go […]
Golden Spoons Review: Health City Café
(CNS Foodie): A family member’s recent stay at Health City Cayman Islands in East End resulted in many meals taken at that hospital’s cafeteria, the Health City Café. While food consumed at a medical facility has never previously motivated me to review it (except for ones that would have included a few choice, non-printable words), […]
Golden Spoons Review: Cracked Conch
(CNS Foodie): I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Cracked Conch’s various locations over the years, experiencing the evolution of its ambience and menu. I can’t ever recall being disappointed. It has certainly come into its own, enjoying what now seems to be its forever home at the very tip of the island’s northwestern point, […]
Golden Spoons Review: Cayman Cabana
(CNS Foodie): My partner and I decided that a relaxed evening by the water was in order but we didn’t want the bother of a formal restaurant meal so we headed for Cayman Cabana, which seemed to offer what we were after. But I should say that to ensure the relaxed atmosphere we went midweek, […]
Golden Spoons Review: Ristorante Pappagallo
(CNS Foodie): A trip out to West Bay looking for dinner with a serene view took us to Ristorante Pappagallo. We had booked, which on this evening was essential. We were given a friendly greeting at the door and offered the option to wait a couple of minutes for a table on the veranda or […]
Golden Spoons Review: Lauren’s Café
(CNS Foodie): Lauren’s Café is tucked away in a corner of Buckingham Square. It is well known for its breakfast offering but we went there one night for dinner. The inside is small with tables around the edge; there is large seating area outside but this does not appear to used in the evening. My […]
Golden Spoons Review: Ave
(CNS Foodie): When you’re preparing to go out for dinner, there’s this surging excitement, almost childlike anticipation, of the possibilities of the epicurean night ahead. For me, it’s the prospect of sampling someone’s culinary creativity, a chance to take pointers from experts in a field in which I’ve dabbled, albeit as a domestic thrill, never […]
Golden Spoons Review: Catch
(CNS Foodie): My partner and I were in the mood for al fresco dining, especially somewhere with an ocean view. Catch was our choice and we were looking forward to the evening out, but unluckily Mother Nature decided to let it rain. Despite the dismal weather, which surprised us, as we scampered to the restaurant […]
Golden Spoons Review: The Wharf
(CNS Foodie): My companion and I decided that a nice meal out was just the thing to pick up our spirits mid-week (plus the leftovers had run out) so we headed to The Wharf Restaurant and Bar. The Wharf has been newly refurbished and we wanted to see what changes had been made and check […]
Golden Spoons review: Lobster Pot
(CNS Foodie): Along the George Town waterfront and boasting a million-dollar view, the Lobster Pot has been serving customers for more than 30 years. Newly refurbished, in a classically elegant setting, the restaurant, known for its fresh seafood, may be rooted in nostalgia but is filling a niche to secure its future. To get to […]
