Soups, stews and Ital food
by dustmon about Ras Rody's
Ras Rody is a newcomer, sort of, to the Negril Cliff scene. He and his son Shadrach run this small roadside shack/restaurant close to Negril Escape on the upper part of Lighthouse Road.
They have soups, stews, veggies, mostly Ital (Natural, no salt, some vegetarian) available to eat there on a couple of stools, or to take away back to your cottage room. While I was there this past December 2009, he was being interviewed by Travel Channel foodie Samantha Brown for inclusion in her TV show. His version of rice and peas is delicious, and I also had a veggie stew---very spicy and good! Veggie stew and Rice and peas
Catamaran to Rick's Cafe

The Party starts when you get on the boat. Booze cruise anyone? They play great reggae music the whole way. The boat stops at a little place where the brave can jump off some of the cliffs. Nice, not to high. The cliffs I mean. hahaha
Heading onward to Rick's Cafe. A little shuttle boat picks you up and takes you to this cafe overlooking the ocean. They have professional divers flying of the big rocks and even out of 60' trees. For the less adventurist there is a 15 cliff to jump off.
There is about a 45 foot cliff alot of people just jump off. I was a little more adventurist. I gave the guy watching the cliff a $10 and asked to dive off. He cleared the area and yelled at some of the other guys working there to watch out for me. Or so they could watch me break my neck. That didn't happen. What a thrill, Swan Dive, 45' ,POW hit the water and still alive. Great time, Truely a must go!
Bring some money for Rick's, great souvieners and drinks.
