Restaurants & Nightlife
Restaurants
Restaurants in Grand Cayman tend to be more expensive than their American and European counterparts. On the other hand, the island offers a good variety of dining options and quality is high.
Visitors should take note of the currency used on the menu. It will make a big difference to the final bill. Most restaurants accept major credit cards, but always check first to avoid unwanted pot washing. Examine the check before tipping as it’s quite common for this to be added automatically.
Nightlife
The island has no casinos, so most of the action takes place in pubs and hotel bars. Grand Cayman is no Miami or New York but does boast a few nightclubs and late venues.
The island has relatively strict alcohol regulations.
