A great alternative to fine dining
Grand Cayman has no shortage of fine dining options—places like Agua, Anchor & Den, and the Cracked Conch offer upscale experiences. But sometimes, what you’re after is a casual, no-fuss meal with great food and fast service. That’s where Bonfire shines.
While spots like Tillies and Coccoloba offer a more formal setting, Bonfire delivers approachable, everyday comfort food. It’s the kind of place where kids can be themselves, where you can show up straight from snorkelling or a beach day, and where you won’t need to dig out the credit card with a grimace.
