Located in the beach of Negril, this was the most lively place we visited in Jamaica. Too close to the water, in a narrow stripe of sand, it allows eating and bathing almost at the same time. We have been there for lunch but, by the look, I think that it must be interesting also for the night.
Some of our best pictures during our entire stay in Jamiaca were taken here at Margaritaville right as the sun was going down. This three story on the water restaurant was a great place for food and drinks over the ocean. It was perfect to stimulate that pre-party atmosphere before we started our trek to the local night clubs.The Jerk Chicken was tasty and the drinks were well made catered to our tourist taste buds. Yet I will have to advise sticking with the chicken and staying away from the shellfish if you order food. The shrimp that one of my friends had was a bit on the fishy side but the waiter was cool and took it back without charging us. So, stick with the chicken and you will be just fine. Obviously the Jerk Chicken! Perfectly cooked with that jerk taste.
After being on the resort so many days, we ventured into Mobay proper for a day of shopping and local food. We decided on The Native because of where we were in town and it being so close. Turns out to be a very good decision. The view from the resturant is lovely: overlooking a park and a large bay (I wish I remembered my camera and the name of the bay). When we ordered, I picked out something other then what I got, which was fine with me - on vacation I didn't care so long as I didn't get steak when I ordered fish - you know?I ordered a fish dish - in jerk sauce, but I got a lobster tail baked with jerk sauce... close enough for me (and fortunately I love lobster). My friend ordered some tilapia (I believe) and we shared some kind of corn-meal bread that was very moist and thick. The beautiful day and location and beer with the gentle breeze made the whole lunch an unforgettable...
Next Pablos Bar is a kitchen where you can enjoy some great local cuisine, from lobster to saltfish and ackee, you can even bring your own. One thing is for sure - you will not meet nicer people anywhere in the world.
Referred as one local attraction, the sunset at Ricks calls hundreds of tourists everyday. Music, diving and noise are the "company" to drinks and snacks took at the tables, or anywhere.I write and show a little more in my Negril's page.
Jack Sprats is the trendy place in Treasure Beach, and they do get a crowd - both locals & tourists.It's right on the beach with some of the tables set up in the sand.We spent a good bit of time here one evening. We had walked down from Taino Cove, but it managed to rain a bit. Winnie was kind enough to drive down & pick us up. While we were waiting we had some great conversation with a few of the locals there that evening. I had the jerked lobster and it was definitely good!
Oliver use to be the chef at Lover's Leap, and they've really made a mistake by letting him go.He now owns and operates his own little restaurant in the May Len Plaza, Treasure Beach.A simple menu that rotates between some really tasty dishes.We had a wonderful meal, and great conversation both provided by Oliver. I was bound and determined to try some curry goat while in Jamaica and Oliver didn't disappoint.Joan had a seafood medley that was a bit spicy for her, but I thought was great.The lemon grass tea was also outstanding.All prepared with loving care by Oliver.
Some of the best food that we tasted was from the little Jerk Chicken Stands that were up and down the street in Negril. From what I saw they were in Ocho Rios and in Montego Bay too.The Jerk chicken is made right there in these carts that the vendors can move all around town with. It smelled real good so we had to try it. We had jerk chicken and other foods at other restaurants but the ones from the carts were the best and least expensive. Dont be afraid to try some of the street food. We loved it. The food from the carts is very simple. We had 1/2 a chicken, the jerk sauce is alittle spicey but not too much, and we were given bread. It was pretty filling. All this for $3.00. It was the cheapest meal in town. And the best.
This place was great and we only dined here once, we should have dined here every night, we just didnt feel like dressing up each time, we loved to be casual but this place was very good and the servers were perfect from the beginning to the end it was a perfect meal. Scallop Sautées en Bisque de Homard, Champignons Sauvages et Radis Chinois - Sauté scallops nestled on lobster bisque, topped with forest mushrooms and dicon.Fruits Frais Gazpacho, Relevé de Rhum Vieux - Fresh fruit soup Gazpacho enhanced with aged rum.Salade César Maison - Our very own Caesar salad with garlic croutons and bacon.Faux Filet Steak de Boeuf au Poivre - Rib Eye Steak with pink peppercorns, Dijon cream sauce.
This place is completely outside the tourist zone. Our driver David took us there when we asked him to take us somewhere that local people go to. Like anywhere else in Jamaica, we were treated very well and served jerk pork and chicken with rice at a shockingly low price. In order to get there, you should go with a local. Hail a taxi and ask them to take you there. Jerked pork, the classic Jamaican dish, is a specialty here. You can't miss it!
