Golden Spoons Review
Golden Spoons Review: Burger Shack
(CNS Foodie): A homey little blue hut at one corner of Marquee Plaza (where the old cinema used to be) offering a big burger called out to me the other day. As I approached the Burger Shack, I couldn’t help but be optimistic that this retro-style establishment would deliver the goods. Another instant plus was […]
Golden Spoons Review: The Brooklyn Pizza + Pasta
(CNS Foodie): I was excited when I first heard about a pizza/pasta place opening in Camana Bay (because I love pizza). So when The Brooklyn Pizza + Pasta opened in 2015, I eagerly grabbed a quick bite with a friend but, unfortunately, wasn’t all that impressed. The pizza was either trying too hard or bored […]
Golden Spoons Review: Eastern Star Fish Fry
(CNS Foodie): East End is recognised for exceptional local food, with Sunday afternoons a traditional time for people to enjoy fried fish. From Bodden Town heading to the Eastern districts there are at least four establishments known for their fish fry, and my father and I stopped at one for some food and bonding.
Golden Spoons Review: Taste Buds
(CNS Foodie): If you are ever in the mood for some traditional Jamaican style food to order and carry out, Taste Buds is the place to go for some sumptuous food for good value. This cook shop is tucked away in the corner of Murryson Plaza off Eastern Avenue but you can’t miss it as […]
Golden Spoons Review: The Greenhouse
(CNS Foodie): The Greenhouse Restaurant, located in the new strip of shops across the street from Casanova (North Church St), specialises in fresh, local ingredients prepared with love. Gluten free, paleo, vegan, vegetarian and allergy friendly options are made primarily from locally sourced goods or imported natural or organic as needed. This cute establishment boasts […]
Golden Spoons Review: Star Island
(CNS Foodie): Star Island on Cayman Brac is not a dinner venue. If you arrive for dinner you will likely find yourself at the only occupied table watching a series of customers collect take-away orders in an otherwise empty restaurant, which doesn’t make for the best ambience. Arrive at lunch time on a weekend and […]
Golden Spoons Review: Fidel Murphy’s Public House
(CNS Foodie): It has been a while since I had last eaten at Fidel’s so I was very much looking forward to sitting down with a pint and some pub grub, as were my companions. The place was fairly empty on the Saturday we were there, but it was admittedly an odd hour, arriving about […]
Golden Spoons Review: XQ’s Bar and Grill
(CNS Foodie): If you haven’t checked out this long-standing bar/restaurant/lounge yet, no more XQses! This oldie but goodie happy hour spot has a lot to offer, not the least of which is a great bar, casual atmosphere and some pretty awesome pizza.
Golden Spoons Review: Island Naturals
(CNS Foodie): Just behind Eduardo’s on West Bay Road, you will find vegetarian café, Island Naturals. The selection on the menu is incredibly diverse, with many vegan and gluten-free options. Instead of a waiter coming to you and taking your order, you go to order your food at the front and get your own drinks […]
Golden Spoons Review: My Bar
(CNS Foodie): Located on the water, just several miles south of George Town, Sunset House “Grand Cayman’s Hotel for Divers, By Divers”, is a popular attraction for the diving community, locals as well as tourists, for the past 50 years. Aside from the lodging and diving, the Seaharvest Restaurant (inside & air conditioned dining) and […]
Golden Spoons Review: Borden’s Pizza
(CNS Foodie): With the slogan “A Caymanian tradition since 1970”, Borden’s Pizza has been serving Cayman for 46 years – minus a few years hurricane hiatus. The quaint eatery re-opened a couple of years ago to much anticipation. I recall people raving about how great the pizza was, how nostalgic it made them feel and […]
Golden Spoons Review: Tiki Beach
(CNS Foodie): Oh, Tiki Beach … what happened to the once pristine, luxurious space? An enormous piece of prime real estate on 7 Mile Beach, we thought, why not go back and see what’s going on there on a beautiful day with no cruise ships in town. Well, if we had crickets on the beaches […]
Golden Spoons Review: Vivo
(CNS Foodie): Vivo, West Bay’s only health-conscious café with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options is fortunate to offer a stunning ocean view out on North West Point. Located in the Lighthouse Point building, next to Dive Tech, you can come for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even just a fresh juice or sunset cocktail. They […]
Golden Spoons Review: Bread & Chocolate
(CNS Foodie): Situated across from the Courthouse in George Town, directly underneath Daily Grind café, is the colourful and cozy local-run vegan food hub Bread & Chocolate. After first going vegan while still living in Cayman six years ago, I never dreamed there would ever be a restaurant or café on island that did not […]
Golden Spoons Review: Da Fish Shack
(CNS Foodie): Any restaurant that includes “fish” in its name better serve good seafood, and Da Fish Shack did not disappoint. We sat at the outdoor patio (there are only seats at the bar inside) for dinner and were lucky enough to enjoy a relatively pleasant summer evening, once the mosquitos disappeared.
Golden Spoons Review: Blue Cilantro
(CNS Foodie): This was my first time visiting Blue Cilantro; to be honest, the off-putting LED lighting throughout the dining room always kept me away. Thankfully, we were seated on the patio, which overlooks West Bay Road and has soft lighting and air conditioning. The only thing I would imagine to be a distraction would […]
Golden Spoons Review: Agave Grill
(CNS Foodie): Located off the Butterfield Roundabout and North Sound Road, you will find a quaint, cozy cantina-sharing Mexican cuisine and techniques, the only Agaveria in the Caribbean and sharp concept cocktails from a New York cocktail expert at the one and only, Agave Grill. Closed on Sundays, Agave shares the love of all things […]
Golden Spoons Review: Cayman Creperie
(CNS Foodie): Cayman Creperie is one half of the combined eatery on the second floor of Bayshore Mall, Lucky Slice Pizza being the other. It is, therefore, perfectly positioned to attract the cost-conscious cruise tourist as well as the time-conscious 9-5 denizens of George Town. As a card-carrying member of the latter group, the question […]
