From one chef and a single kitchen to a family of brands nourishing Cayman every day.

Founded in 2002 by Caymanian chef Sean Collins, Mise en Place began with a mission to serve fresh, thoughtful food to the Cayman community. Two decades later, that mission lives on through a growing family of brands that continue to set the bar for local flavour, quality and sustainability.
