Jamaica Restaurants

Restaurants

Eating well is one of Jamaica’s great pleasures. While you’ll pay top dollar in restaurants that make creative use of Jamaican cuisine’s African, indigenous, and British influences, you’ll find the splurge worthwhile. At the same time, don’t shy away from roadside “cooksheds,” which are more the best places for inexpensive (but authentic) treats like jerk chicken and pork, fish, and roast yam. Jamaicans know their food, so stop where it’s busy.
