A LETTER From the EDITOR

PUBLISHERS Joanna Boxall Charles Grover

Welcome to the 2024 edition of Cayman Good Taste, the magazine that celebrates the many flavours of the Cayman Islands.

EDITOR Emily Richardson

WEL COM E

It was another busy year for Cayman’s restauranteurs as foodie newbies popped up and familiar faces returned to our shores. And it seems this will only continue as we journey through 2024. We offer a warm ‘Caymankind’ welcome to all.

Throughout these tasty pages, you’ll discover more than just dining. Learn about the ‘melting pot’ of cuisines on offer, where to find live local music across the Island and find out about Cayman’s most popular annual foodie events. For vino enthusiasts, we also shine a spotlight on the popular series, Sommelier Stand-Off, where wine experts go head-to-head in the battle of the grape!

After launching the Cayman Good Taste app in 2023, we were proud and delighted to be awarded the Best Website/App at the CIMPA awards! In addition to showcasing Cayman’s best restaurants and bars, the app provides foodies with 100s of menus, promotions and events so that you can get the most out of Cayman’s culinary scene.

Download the app today from the Apple App Store or Google Play, and book a table at your favourite restaurant, or enjoy a new dining experience! You can also visit www. caymangoodtaste.com.

Finally, thank you to all the restaurants that feature in this year’s magazine. We appreciate your endless desire to serve the people of Cayman – residents and visitors alike – with such astonishing food that never fails to wow us all.

Agua

Fourteen years ago, Italian owners Cristiano and Walter established Agua Restaurant and Lounge with the intention of creating a fresh and vibrant dining experience that avoided conventional Italian restaurant stereotypes. After relocating to Camana Bay's breezy waterfront in 2018 and undergoing a menu refresh, this longtime popular seafood restaurant continues to soar in popularity and innovation!

The space is stylish and airy, featuring lots of natural wood accents and coloured glass, creating a nautical theme that nicely complements the seafood-rich, ItalianPeruvian inspired menu. Longtime fans of Agua talk of their delicious ceviche and their Tuna Tartare with its passionfruit sauce. Must-have dishes include their namesake Agua Tuna and the delectable 10oz Skirt Steak with its incredible chimichurri sauce.

The wine list, with an extensive choice of Old and New World options, perfectly

complements the menu and patrons can even enjoy their meal in Agua's intimate wine room. Cocktails from Agua's award winning mixologists, enjoyed in their plush bar area, include the freshest and finest local ingredients.

The combination of a unique Italian Peruvian menu, a casually elegant setting and attentive service has cemented Agua as one of the leading players in the Island's restaurant scene.

Also try their cocktail lounge and bar, Next Door, which is literally right next door on Camana Bay's waterfront! See page 97 for more information.

Sommelier Stand-Off A wine Pairing Battle

This initial triumph paved the way for a remarkable eight-year odyssey.

Over time, their endeavour attracted the attention and support of a growing number of sponsors who believed in their vision. With each passing year, the event flourished, and its success encouraged the passionate trio to broaden their horizons. Now, the event has the support of Cayman Wine School, Treasury Wine Estates and Rickety Bridge.

Each competitive season is held over several months. During each dinner, two sommeliers go head-to-head in a battle for vino victory! After pairing their chosen wines with dishes served by the renowned Agua restaurant, diners choose which wine they think pairs best with their food. Votes are then counted and a winner is announced.

In 2024, Season 9 will see the champions of all previous seasons face off in a spectacular showcase, marking not only the end of a chapter, but also a celebration of the enduring spirit that has fuelled this extraordinary journey.

We can’t wait to see what 2024’s Sommelier Stand-Off has in store.
