Caribbean Restaurant of the Year: Blue By Eric Ripert, Cayman Islands If there is one place in the Caribbean where a meal is a bucket-list experience, it is this. Eric Ripert’s lone Caribbean outpost is set at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman and features a true culinary tour de force, with a menu that mirrors Ripert’s New York signature Le Bernardin, with a Caribbean twist. It’s a truly spectacular culinary experience, and one of the great meals you will ever have, another reason why the Cayman Islands is one of the hottest culinary destinations in the whole Caribbean.
