“Beach House in Grand Cayman is an upscale yet casual restaurant offering incredible views of Seven Mile Beach in an inviting and intimate atmosphere at the newly appointed Westin Grand Cayman. The cuisine is centered on coastal living and foods from the Caribbean Sea, Mediterranean and the Southern Asia. These items and influences have been brought together in a celebration of flavour in Beach House’s distinctive “Coastal Cuisine”. Although seafood is the mainstay of the menu, other culinary delights such as duck, beef, lamb and pork are highlighted as well. These influences have been brought together by Executive Chef Sandy Tuason who uses local, sustainable fish and the freshest produce from the Cayman Islands in his signature dishes. The menu is divided into two segments: Smaller Plates and Larger Plates. Smaller Plate choices are on the lighter side and include appetizers, soups and salads. Larger plates are designed for those who prefer a more sizable portion. This distinctive menu style allows customers the flexibility to savour the many flavours and textures of Chef Sandy’s coastal cuisine, all while sipping a delicious glass of wine.
For a unique and lasting dining experience, the Beach House also offers a five course tasting menu with or without wine pairing.
