Fodor's Expert Review Cayman Cabana

The popular restaurant and bar, adorned with wild murals, fab old-timer photos, and surfboards doubling as signs, offers a classic Cayman sight: fishers anchor their boats right offshore and display their catch right outside (condo and villa renters, head here if you're in the market for fresh fish). The capable kitchen specializes in classic Caymanian cuisine; farm-to-table Thursdays are justifiably popular. This is also a prime pyrotechnic sunset- and cruise-ship-watching spot, where locals laze in locally carved chairs, sipping house microbrews on the vast thatch-shaded, tiered deck. Stop by the Swanky Shack by the entrance for souvenir T-shirts and island gossip.
