The experience of dining in restaurants in Jamaica offers a slice of island life as well as a culinary treat. Explore Jamaica's culture from a table - or just on the side of the road.
One dining option is to stop at one of the many roadside vendors that are a tradition on Jamaica. There, you can find some of the best, old-fashioned"down a yaad" cooking from the oil drum grill. There are many great jerk huts on Boston Beach. However, if you are not in Portland, you'll most likely come across a roadside vendor anywhere. In Kingston on Knutsford Blvd., vans offer satisfying meals at a low rate.
If you are looking to have a casual sit-down experience as you enjoy your Jamaican delicacies, you'll find a wide range of establishments, from local watering holes to fine restaurants. Laid-back Margueritaville Sports Bar and Grill and neighboring posh restaurant, Marguerite's, offer the best of both worlds in Montego Bay. Evita's in Ocho Rios combines Jamaican cuisine with Italian flavor, bringing an international flavor to hometown spices. Chances in Negril serves up good pizza along Seven Mile Beach.
The restaurant experience is just that: an experience. In Jamaica, the restaurant is a social scene where friendliness is appreciated. Although punctuality and politeness are staples of Jamaican culture, most restaurants are still a casual affair. Relax as chefs tell you stories about Jamaican life and culture and prepare for you some of the tastiest, most flavorful cuisines in the world.
The cooking methods unique to Jamaica are a great blend of natural resources and international influences.
Eating well on Jamaica isn't difficult for travelers staying in one of these properties, all of which feature excellent dining options on site.
A cruise can be a great alternative way of arriving in Jamaica.
