If you're staying at the Inn -- or just passing through Bodden Town -- this spot is a must!  Fresh fish and the trimmings, expertly fried before your eyes, just 200' down the beach from the Inn.  Only open on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and on public Holidays.  You can bring your own wine and beer and enjoy the delicious food at a table under one of the thatched gazebos on the beach.  Located just behind Lorna's Texaco station, the convenience store, and small liquor outlet.  The choice of fish typically includes snapper, mahi, wahoo, and grouper, or whatever the local fishermen catch, at very reasonable prices!

Located on the waterfront in North Side, this lively and informal beachfront restaurant and bar serves good and reasonably priced Caribbean and Cayman fare. Known for delicious fresh fish dishes, Over the Edge is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, offers take-out meals and a seaside terrace. The menu and staff are the same as The Edge, which regrettably closed its doors in Bodden Town at the end of September 2003. Service is very informal -- and quite slow at times -- but this is a fun spot for when you're not in a rush. A good "pit-stop" on your way to or from Rum Point and Cayman Kai.

Located just a couple of hundred feet east of the Inn, a short walk down the beach, Sea Side Paradise offers local dishes, simply served but expertly prepared. Laid-back dining on their beachfront terrace, a varying menu, and very affordable prices. Bring your own wine or beer, and enjoy fried chicken, jerk dishes, fresh fish, and a number of local and oriental specials among the chef's daily selection.  You're dressed just fine the way you are, but bring cash.  No credit cards accepted.

Probably the best dining value on Grand Cayman -- less than a mile west from Turtle Nest Inn & Condos, in Bodden Town. Very tasty jerk chicken or pork. A quarter chicken, complete with rice and beans, spicy sauce and "festival" (Jamaican corn bread), for only CI$5.00! A large portion is CI$7.00. A nice walk, if you eat at a picnic table on their lawn. Otherwise, take the car, carry it back to the Inn, pop open a bottle of wine and enjoy. Other local dishes may include oxtail stew, baked chicken, BBQ ribs, etc. If you're coming to Grand Cayman to "go native" -- or to keep costs down -- Rankin's Jerk Centre is a must! Closed on Sunday.

Located just a mile east of the Inn, and open for lunch and dinner, with music and dancing many evenings. This local dining spot, located right along the main road in Bodden Town, offers pretty decent local dishes, including conch fritters, curried chicken, stewed beef and curried goat, American snacks (hamburgers, fries, etc.), and even a few Chinese dishes. Very reasonably priced, laid-back ambience and ideal for a drink at the bar, a quick snack or complete meal.

Located about a quarter mile east of the Inn (easy walking distance, right next to the Pirates Caves), and open for lunch and dinner between 11:00am and 8:00pm. This local dining spot is run by a very good chef from India. She offers local and Indian food -- from jerk chicken and pork, hot wings, to samosas, dhal, butter chicken and bhendi masala (okra). She also offers a few American snacks (hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, etc.) and some dishes for the kids. Very reasonably priced, with a couple of tables, and you can bring your own wine, although your best bet is to come by and take out.
