Vivine's Kitchen
A family kitchen by the sea in East End, known for oxtail, curried goat, stewed turtle and cassava cake. It's a representative spot for Cayman home cooking.
Located on Austin Conolly Drive in Gun Bay, East End, near the Compass Point Dive Resort. This small eatery was converted from a home kitchen, and the seats are right by the sea. Signature dishes are oxtail, curried goat and stewed turtle. Other options include stewed conch, Cayman-style beef, grouper and snapper served with fried plantain and rice and peas. After your meal, try a slice of cassava cake or rum cake. The menu changes daily. It's cash only, and you may bring your own drinks. It's usually open Thursday to Sunday and closed Monday to Wednesday, and it closes early in the evening. It's about a 50-minute drive from George Town, making it a good lunch stop on the east side of the island tour.
