Thanksgiving Island-Style !

While Thanksgiving is not a holiday in the Cayman Islands ( Cayman Islands are a British Territory) Most of the local restaurants do offer the traditional American Thanksgiving meals in honor of the many American visitors.

Here are just a few choices that I have personally enjoyed and can attest to - all are just a short distance from Beachcomber. Please note: orders / reservations must be made by November 22.

One of my favorites and the best value is the Thanksgiving Take Out dinner offered
by Foster’s Food Fair–for CI$ 69.95 you receive:
A choice of: A 10 – 12 lb roast Turkey or 6 -8 lb Glazed ham (I’ve had both… hard to choose)
