Blue by Top Chef Judge, Eric Ripert, is nestled in the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman and is one of the Caribbean’s finest restaurants. His trademark ethereal seafood is flawless and necessitates a more sophisticated palate. Choose from a regular four-course meal or the chef’s epicurean six and seven-course tasting menus (with or without wine pairing). In addition, the chic menu includes “almost raw” and “barely touched” options. The dishes use the island’s natural bounty, a tribute to New York’s celebrated Le Bernardin’s tuna foie gras with added Cayman sea salt. Sumptuous options include sautéed kingklip with avocado-coconut cream, sunflower sprouts, and lime sauce, decadent chocolate mousse with caramelized banana, mango-saffron sauce, and cocoa sorbet. One must also revel in Blue’s vast wine list.
