Golden Spoons Review: Pani Indian Kitchen
(CNS Foodie): East Indian cuisine has been something of a hidden gem here in Cayman.

Golden Spoons Review: Ragazzi
(CNS Foodie): Ask anyone for a top 10 list of restaurants in Cayman and Ragazzi is sure to be on every one. Not only is it a longstanding, Italian mainstay in the heart of Seven Mile Beach, but also its reputation for fine dining makes it a “go to” for residents and visitors alike. Having […]

Golden Spoons Review: Luca
(CNS Foodie): Birthdays are the perfect time to get together for a fancy dress-up so our group of chatty girls hit up Luca for Sunday brunch.

Golden Spoons Review: China Village
(CNS Foodie): Spoiler alert: I love Chinese food of all styles and regions.

Golden Spoons Review: Yara
(CNS Foodie): It was a weekday evening and I overheard that a new steakhouse, Yara (“place” in Taino), was opening its doors and I had to go check it out. I felt a bit evil going on their soft opening night, but I did try to take that into consideration. Regardless, I have returned twice […]
