One of our favorite places for Sunday brunch (very popular “activity” in Cayman) is at the Portofino. It is located at the very tip of the eastern part of the island. From George Town, it will take +-40 minutes to get to depending on how fast one drives or if you are stuck behind a very slow moving car as it is often the case here!<\/p>\n

I though I would mention this place since we enjoy going there for brunch & dinner alike.\u00a0 Its not as fancy as some of the 7-Mile beach places,\u00a0\u00a0but the prices are very reasonable for what you get and is extremely peaceful at that end of the island ; away from all the “hustle & bustle”.<\/p>\n

For those that do not venture much outside of George Town, just getting to the place is worth it.\u00a0 We usually drive along the coast, then after brunch simply drive in the same direction until we get to Frank Sound Rd (the road that crosses the island) and then back towards town.\u00a0 There are some great places for pictures and also a quick stop at the blowholes which can be impressive if there is lots of wave action.<\/p>\n

Here are some shots taken from where we were sitting on the outside\/ocean view terrace.<\/p>\n

On a windy day, there will often be kite surfers ; very impressive show.<\/p>\n

Here is their website. I have no affiliation with them, but am definately happy to talk about this place that we like a whole lot.<\/p>\n

Final item of note, Julie’s best\u00a0friend Genevieve, is here with us for a 3rd time!\u00a0 Each month of March, like clockwork, she has visited us.\u00a0 First year she was\u00a0alone, last year with her mom and this year with her aunt Lise. Here they are at Cayman Kai with a few starfish that we found along the shore.<\/p>\n
