Fresh juices and great food at Jessie’s Juice Bar and Café
HEALTHY EATING CAN MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE, BUT WHETHER YOU ARE A VEGETARIAN, VEGAN, SOMEONE WITH A GLUTEN INTOLERANCE, A DINER THAT LIKES TO EAT FROM SUSTAINABLE SOURCES OR SOMEONE WHO JUST LOVES TO EAT FRESH AND HEALTHILY, THERE’S A RESTAURANT OR CAFé IN CAYMAN TO SUIT YOU!
A go-to for vegans and vegetarians since it first opened its doors, Bread & Chocolate is Cayman’s only fully vegan restaurant. It serves up the most delicious breakfasts such as their signature Bread and Chocolate: French toast, stuffed with chocolate hazelnut butter and bananas, dipped in coconut and tahini batter and topped with fresh fruit. Their Sunshine Pancakes are also a big hit, two buckwheat, brown rice, and walnut pancakes, served with fresh fruit and table syrup and topped with house-made coconut ice cream for just a few dollars more. Lunch and dinner must-tries include their famous Island Bowl, full of spicy jerk tofu, garlic sautéed seasonal greens, black beans with coconut sauce, shredded roots, and fried plantain served over wither cilantro brown rice or quinoa.
You might not notice vIvO straight away, tucked away on the Northwest coast of West Bay, but you’ll be so glad once you’ve discovered this cool little restaurant that serves sustainable, eco-friendly, organic, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, all in one little restaurant! VIVO is located right on the seafront, so you can gaze over the gorgeous Caribbean ocean while you dine. Choose from the all-day menu which is available from
7am until 5pm and you will be in for a real treat. Lionfish is an invasive predator and recent arrival to our shores, so eco-friendly restaurants like VIVO do their best to serve the fish (and it’s delicious!). So try their Lionfish Sandwich, or their Lionfish Curry, an authentic Indian curry.
Bay Market in Camana Bay is another excellent spot, a gourmet food store, from which you can buy all manner of healthy food to keep you going throughout the day. Choose from their excellent salad and hot food bars, as well as sandwiches wraps and more. Enjoy fresh fruit smoothies and juices and delicious coffee from their brilliant coffee and beverage bar. There are gluten free and vegetarian options to suit all dietary requirements. Jessie’s Juice Bar and Café is another great find in Camana
Bay, serving up all manner of juices, smoothies, as well as great food options made from locally sourced, organic and natural ingredients, such as their avocado and tomato toast and fab wraps such as the beet salad or the sesame miso salmon wrap.
