Cayman’s Favourite Restaurant? YOU Choose!

Every year at Taste of Cayman, each attendee has the chance to make his or her voice heard as the participating restaurants vie for the prestigious title of ‘Cayman’s Favourite Restaurant!’

Competition is stiff, and it is an all-out culinary battle between restaurants to earn as many votes as they can by festival goers. Last year, Michael’s Genuine Food and Drink was voted Cayman’s favourite, collecting the most votes from festival attendees. Will they take the title again with their lionfish escabeche sliders, popcorn ice cream and Snickers candy bars this year? You decide!

 Meet Our Chefs: Raymond Jackson (Al La Kebab)

Al La Kebab is  a favourite with both locals and tourists. Serving up healthy and fast Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food along with friendly service, Al La Kebab has been around since 2002. It doesn’t hurt that the joint is open into the wee hours of the morning either!

For catering of weddings, corporate events and private parties or anything else that has to do with Cayman food, there’s a sister company, Dine by Design too!
