The Br asserie CARIBBEAN/CONTINENT AL Elegant
and stylish, and fav ored by members of G rand Cayman's investment
community, this r estaurant seems v ery far r emoved from the tourist
hubbub of Seven Mile Beach and other tourist-geared areas. Expect a
Caribbean colonial decor with high ceilings, artfully carved teakwood
and mahogany furnitur e, spinning ceiling fans, and a cool, br eezy
layout that might evoke an upscale private club in a long-gone British
colonial empire. Lunches focus on upscale and upbeat salads such as
a fresh yellowfin tuna tataki with pine nuts, feta cheese, and sw eet
basil vinaigrette, and pastas or the fresh catch of the day. Dinners are
more elaborate, featuring such appetiz ers as a slab of H udson Valley
foie gras with chocolate foam or else warm white asparagus with
prosciutto and a lemon v elouté. Main courses ar e a L ucullan treat,
especially the pan-sear ed scallops with a celeriac mousseline or else
braised lamb shank with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and red wine
cabbage.

ors, a sense of whimsy, and even a bold and creative sense of elegance.
If the wind isn 't too brisk, y ou can sit on a wooden deck dir ectly
above the water , watching wor kaday fishing craft depositing their
loads at West Bay's busiest fishing por t. The place is v ery authentic
