Street vendors chicken: Stay away from expensive tourist restaurants

by travelbugcheri

The best food in Jamaica is sold by street vendors at night. Don't be scared, it's safe! You can get a quarter chicken with hot sauce if you can take it and a piece of bread for about 120 J dollars. It is also cheaper to buy drinks and suck from street vendors for about 50 J you can get a beer, 20-40 a soda, and you can also gets shots of rum, rumcream, candy , snacks, etc. Don't let them rip you off, listen to someone else ordering (a local) and get the same price. Always ask first

Jerk Chicken is lovely

by rachel_sun

Jerk pork,chicken and fish is popular too.Jerk is how it is cooked.It is cooked in the ground in a pit with herbs and seasoning and is not to be missed.Do try the wonderful cocktails and the great Jamaican rum(£2)a bottle.

Food in Jamaica is varied and very tasty indeed.

by rachel_sun

Food in Jamaica is varied and the choice is huge.There are loads of places to eat out at the main resorts.Also you can eat at different hotels if you wish.Patties are nice,usually filled with meat,chicken,lobster or veg and are a popular fast food.A traditional Sunday dish is made from red kidney beans and rice.It is served with the main dish,usually roast of some sort.Plantains look like bananas,but are not,they look larger.They cannot be eaten uncooked,they will give you bad indigestion.They are yummy when fried.Bammy is great,it is a flat bread made from cassava(a root vegetable) and it is good with fried fish.

Our first hotel was all inclusive but we ventured out on our second week and ate at Margaritaville a couple of times.If you like it quite then go earlyish. It is actually a fun pub and can get a bit roudy later on.The food was always perfect and reasonably priced. The chicken fijitas - yum!!!

When you're sitting on a cliffside overlooking the cool blue Caribbean Sea, just relaxing and sipping a Red Stripe - then you know you're in Jamaica. The atmosphere is casual, the food is good, and as they say in the commericals, everyting is 'No problem.' Ackee & Saltfish

by africa20

Bibibip's in Ocho Rios. It has the most amazing views of the sea and beaches. Although it caters for the tourist so is a bit pricey, the food is wonderful. If you are looking for something a bit cheaper try the Jerk Chicken Centre on Main Street - brilliant value for money - it's where a lot of the locals eat. Red Stripe Shrimp. Wow!!

by Jan_Brunelle

My favorite restaurant is a short walk from the Trelawny Beach & Fun Resort toward the Bamboo Village, but along the road. It's not fancy, but a great meeting place. For myself, a vegetarian, they serve the best veggies

by bushdoctor

Kuyaba on the beach in Negril. Sea food is fantastic and live music makes the setting for a wonderfully romantic evening. Afterwards take a stroll along the beach to Margherittaville for some cocktails and live entertainment.Kuyaba is located on the beach, about half way along the strip. The eating area is outside but covered by thatched roofing. Try and get a table near the beach and listen to the waves as you sip you rum cocktails! The lobster is good (but should only be available in season). Banana fritters for dessert are a must.
