CAYMAN BRAC. Not as high profile as the flashier eateries on Grand Cayman, Aunt Sha's is, nevertheless, a terrific place to fill your belly after a day spent exploring craggy Cayman Brac. Local cuisine is the specialty, from fresh shrimp and lobster to turtle and sea urchin. Save room for the delicious Key lime pie, rumored to be the best in the Caymans. A romantic patio area overlooks the water, offering charming views at high tide – that is, if you don't mind seeing a shark fin or two.

LITTLE CAYMAN. Granted, many of the Cayman Islands' most popular restaurants are located on the big island, but the Little Cayman Beach Resort's Birds of Paradise Restaurant proudly holds its own with the best of them. An attractive screened-in patio allows guests to enjoy authentic Caribbean food while they dine alfresco surrounded by swaying palms.

SEVEN MILE BEACH. The restaurant competition along the main drag at Seven Mile Beach can be ferocious at times, but this Caribbean stalwart has managed to stay a favorite with locals and tourists alike. Located adjacent to the exclusive Caribbean Club, Lantana's offers imaginative fresh fish and seafood dishes, many of them bearing a traditional Caribbean influence – plantain, mango salsa, and black beans accompany such entrées as Cayman dolphinfish with tabbouleh, conch fritters, and lobster quesadillas. For extra points in the romance category, call ahead and request a window table upstairs – from there, sunset over the beach is magical.

BODDEN TOWN. Located on the Bodden Town waterfront, this French-Caribbean eatery has enjoyed a fair amount of positive publicity since opening in 1990, including earning high marks from the "New York Times" and "London Observer." Choose to dine in the rustic dining room or, for a touch of the romantic, outside on the deck where tables have clear views of the nearby beach area and a coral reef just offshore. Menu favorites include pan-fried conch and spicy, grilled Black Angus steaks – not to mention the usual island repertoire of plantains, beans and rice, and akee. Dinner reservations are accepted.
