The Pork Pit: Jerked meat

by stiab3

Barbecue jamaican style!This place is famous for its Jamaican jerk pork and jerk chicken. Picnic tables encircle the building, and everything is open-air and informal. In case you don't know jerk is a fiery Jamaican seasoning blend used in the preparation of grilled foods, especially pork or chicken. It usually includes chilies, thyme, allspice, garlic and onions. The foodis traditionally cooked over a pimento (allspice) wood fire. The jerk pork of course! And the jerk chicken!The menu also includes steamed roast fish.

EDEN II: There were a number...

by Gypsystravels

EDEN II: There were a number of restaurants in the hotel. One of the many benefits of an all inclusive is the food of course. We had buffett style dinner three times and the food was fantastic, with lots of seafood and ethnic foods for everyone to enjoy.Didn't have to pay, included in the resort price. Lobster bisque soup, lobster tail, stuffed clams with lobster meat, pasta, rice, jerk chicken, and the list goes on.

Juici Patties: Fast food Jamaican style

by Dabs

We stopped to have a quick bite at one of these near Mandeville and again in Kingston but saw them all over Jamaica. Apparently although they have a variety of them on the menu, not all of them are made up at any given time. Patties are a pastry (kind of like pot pie pastry) wrapped around filling containing meat, chicken or seafood and vegetables with a bit of spice. They are similar to pasties except with a bit more spice, I believe pasties have their roots in England.1 was kind of small for a meal but 2 were too much for me, I tried chicken and beef as the shrimp ones were not made. On the 2nd visit I had chicken and lobster, my husband tried meatloaf which was the same filling as the patties but with more bread.The patties were 40-45 Jamaican so less than $1 US

Sugar Mill: If you love romantic settings and good food

by Niablue

The restaurant is really very beautiful at night because it has his own garden and you can sit on a terrace and watch the stars while you are having your dinner. Appart from the perfect romantic atmosphere they have perfect service and good wines with live music and I can tell you the misicians can play Bob Marley's songs really well. Lobster (The restaurant is specialised in seafood cuisine)

The owners and staff of this little restaurant are very friendly and give you a great service. It's a place for casual dining and it offers you a beautiful view of the sea.The food is delicious, especially the Lobster! It's their speciality. (See the picture) Also try their home made desert. Yummy! Definitely a place to go.Thanks folks! Lobster, the Prawns and their Blue Mountain coffee.

Resort Restaurants

by Astrobuck

Eating in Jamaica, in my opinion, is better at the all-inclusive resorts, since everything is paid for. It feels awkward at first...you sit down at a candelight dinner on the beach, bottle of wine, great food. Then you grab the bottle of wine, get up, and leave. You are wondering in your mind if someone is going to chase you down! It's great because even if the restaurant closes, you can eat 24/7 at the bistro located in the resort. Jerked pork. It's to die for.

Luna di Mare: Gorgeous pesto!!

by coopergirl2003

The Luna di Mare is a premium restaurant in the hotel we were staying at (you get one free meal there per stay). We went for our anniversary and it was the most fantastic food we've had in a long time! The waiters are attentive and knowledgeable and very interested in you as a customer which is in stark contrast to the general staff outside the restaurant. The first thing you get is some gorgeous bread with a salty coating on the crust and a pot of pesto....it is out of this world!! Unfortunately, it was too good and I couldn't manage all of my main course or even attempt pudding!!There was only one vegetarian course which was pasta in a tomato sauce but it was of such a high quality that you didn't mind not having a choice!! The meat dishes looked really good too!

Foods to Try: Jamaican Cuisine

by seagoingJLW

The national dish is ackee and saltfish. Jamaica is the only Caribbean island where ackee is eaten. Jerk pork (pictured) is also popular. So is escoveitched fish (that means cooked and pickled in a sauce of vinegar and spices). They also eat curried goat and mannish water (a soup made from the head, legs, liver, etc. of the goat.)

A Local Favorite

by Pawtuxet

Here is a "bread fruit" tree. Our cook prepared bread fruit by cooking it (whole) right on the gas stove...with no pan. She turned it regularly until it was black...and then peeled it, sliced, and served it. Very commonly found around the island, but don't know if they serve it in resorts. Be sure you try it.

Bread Fruit

by Pawtuxet

Buying bread fruit at the local market with our cook. Our cook and maid were such sweet women. My husband and I shopped daily with the cook. Got a big kick out of her. Learned a lot about local foods...habits...family life....social conditions from her. She was a jewel.We are holding bread fruit... which seemed to be a staple in their diet.
