Our Local Market Scene

The local market scene has exploded in the Cayman Islands over the past few years and both residents and visitors alike are enjoying the benefits. Grand Cayman now boast two convenient locations to purchase fresh produce, products and locally crafted gifts. The Camana Bay Farmers' Market and the newly opened Farmers’ Market on Huldah Avenue in George Town brings together approximately 30 farmers from all over the island. Come out and meet with local producers and shop for fresh produce, spices and tasty Caymanian 
treats and local crafts at our farmers' market.



Cayman Cuisine

Visitors in search of the authentic Caymanian culinary experience have plenty of options. Dine on a meal of callaloo (sort of an exotic spinach), Cayman-style mahi mahi or perhaps the most traditional meal in Cayman, traditional turtle stew. Other superb Caymanian dishes include conch (pronounced ‘conk’) in creole sauce or stew, swordfish or snapper in coconut sauce, lobster tail cooked with scotch bonnet peppers or an old-fashioned fish fry.



Culinary Events

Cayman’s culinary events are not to be missed – from weekly fares like The Flavour Tour at Camana Bay to annual foodie celebrations with Cayman Restaurant Month every October. For the ultimate foodie experience, set your taste buds every January for our internationally acclaimed epicurean event, Cayman Cookout with Chef Eric Ripert and his roster of famous chefs and wine experts followed by our largest culinary event of the year, Taste of Cayman Food & Drink Festival with live cooking demonstrations and local entertainment. With exceptional culinary variety, unsurpassed ambience, and renowned local and international chefs, the Cayman Islands will inspire even the most discriminating gourmands.
