Passenger Pick of the Month

Catch Restaurant & Lounge




                                                                                                                                                            
Nestled in the lee of Morgan’s Harbor, Catch is the inspiration of restauranteurs Walter Fajette and Cristiano Vincentini.  United by their love of alfresco dining and the beautiful waters of the Caribbean Sea, Walter and Cris opened the restaurant in December 2014 with the sole mission to serve only the Islands’ freshest catch.
Years ago, Cris and Walter became great friends while working together at Calypso Grill, and then in 2010 achieved their dream of creating Agua, a very successful restaurant along Seven Mile beach.  So now Catch is their second successful restaurant venture.  As this month’s Passenger Pick of the Month, we wanted to learn more about the story behind Catch, so recently we caught up with Walter and Cris.
PP:  Passengers love both Catch and Agua, they go many times to both!  Walter, what are the differences?
WF:  The main difference of course is the location.  Agua is in a plaza off seven mile beach while Catch is located right on the ocean.
PP:  Why the name Catch?
WF:  We wanted to find an easy, ‘Catchy’ name, plus the reflection of our fresh Catch of the day on the menu.
PP:  You have always wanted a restaurant on the water.  Cris, what advantages do you have being right on Morgan's Harbor?
CV:  It’s nice to be located on the water when you are on an Island, tourist when they are in the Caribbean, they want to dine right on the ocean, so that is a plus for us, the scenery is fantastic and a perfect place for a romantic date night or a family dinner.
PP:  It is a beautiful, peaceful location.  Folks love that you have two different menu's for two great restaurants.  Was that by design?
WF:  At Catch we created a completely different menu than Agua so people can go to both places trying different things.  Being right on the water where the fisherman come back with the fresh fish, our menu reflects that, same for the vegetables, greens and fruits we try to use as much local produce as possible.
PP:  Delicious!  Tell us about your New Sunday Brunch at Catch.  Is it the same as Agua?
CV:  Again for Catch we created something different.  While at Agua is Buffet Style, at Catch it is an A La Carte Menu in addition to our regular lunch menu from 11:30 am to 4:30 pm.  Also on Sunday we have specials on Tiki Cocktails.  We also just added our Brunch menu on Saturdays as well and on that day we have specials on Gin and Tonics and Aperol drinks.


PP:  Many folks enjoy your signature drinks at Catch.  Who are your mixologists?
WF:  Yes, we quickly became well known for our Cocktails, we have two great guys behind the Bar, Juan Manuel from Madrid Spain and Federico from Uruguay.  It’s great to see them working, you can just feel the passion they have for what they do.
PP:  We’re hearing a lot about your full moon evenings.  Tell us all about them. 
CV:  Our full moon evenings are wonderful.  We have live music and specials on Patron Tequila Cocktails.  Dining under a full moon is something that shouldn’t be missed at Catch!
Folks, Catch focuses on fresh locally caught seafood, hearty meat dishes and exquisite cocktails.  Consider starting with the local wahoo and tuna carpaccio with cilantro, or perhaps the local kale salad with pickled jicama, before finishing off with a local catch of the day, a delicious selection from the sea.  With such a superb waterfront setting, we recommend arriving early by car or boat to unwind with a cocktail before your meal.

  As the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean, Grand Cayman offers countless fabulous food opportunities! However, these delicious opportunities can create a bit of a financial drain on families or small groups of friends. Sure, cooking in the condo will save some money, but most folks on vacation don’t want to cook every night! Throughout the year, people ask me which restaurants give the best deals. Certainly, a little bit of planning before your trip can help keep the costs down. A family of 5 can, indeed, enjoy restaurant meals at Grand Cayman. This article will give you an overview of restaurants that have been recommended by passengers who like great food and appreciate ways to get the most from their vacation budget.  First, choose either condo life with a full kitchen or a hotel room with a kitchenette. Either will give you some space for storing light meals and snacks. Some passengers bring in a few snacks (think “dry goods”) from home but always check for any restrictio

Celebrate Women's Dive Day

To celebrate Women’s Dive Day 2019 Divetech will bring together women hand in hand in an attempt to break their own World Record! In July 2018, 86 women at Divetech in Grand Cayman created a human chain along a 300ft line suspended at 15ft, thus ensuring the ladies were neutrally buoyant protecting the coral on the sea floor. Last year the charitable event raised over $3,000 US for the Cayman Islands Breast Cancer Foundation as well as raising awareness for women in diving globally across all disciplines including recreational, technical and Freediving. This year they are aiming for 100 women and for the event to be bigger and better! They are hoping for a number of the Cayman dive shops to join (bringing our dive community together), a raffle with lots of prizes (to help raise more money for the Breast Cancer Foundation), as well as local conservation organisations joining the event to raises awareness of island ocean issues, such as Lionfish as an invasive species.
