blue by eric ripert
Blue by Eric Ripert at the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman exceeds all fine dining establishments on island and much of the region. A bold statement perhaps, but seeing that this restaurant has consistently been a recipient of prestigious awards and the only one in the Caribbean to earn AAA Five Diamond Award and the 2025 Forbes Travel Guide’s Triple Five-Star Designation, clearly speaks for itself. Blue’s attention to detail is seen throughout, from the hand polished glassware and freshly ironed tablecloths to the gracious hostess and observant servers. Wine and cocktail connoisseurs will be pleased to know that there are 700 fine wines to choose from, and the talented mixologists makes sure all of the cocktails are well-balanced and instagram-worthy. You can choose to dine in their bar / lounge area where you can only choose from the a la carte menu or go ahead and immerse yourself in the full experience - a multicoursed epicurean experience. Choose either the 4 or 6 course seafood (or vegetarian) menu with the option to add-on a wine pairing chosen by their talented sommelier. Their new Head Chef, Michele Tenzone, started in 2025 and alongside a restaurant renovation he revamped the menu under the guidance of Chef Eric Ripert. Diners should expect to see a menu that combines quality seafood and global flavours and produces delicate, tasty dishes. It’s easy to talk about this restaurant until you’re ‘blue' in the face, but perhaps it’s best you just pay them a visit.
