Eating Out
In Jamaica
|
Jamaica is known for its wonderful cuisine, which has traveled far beyond
its shores to influence the world of international cuisine. Jamaican
restaurants are a usual part of most major city dining options in the
United States. As an island nation, Jamaican restaurants often specialize
in seafood dishes of excellent quality. Because of its international
popularity as a vacation destination, there are many fine dining establishments
that serve excellent international dining favorites, in addition to
creatively prepared dishes built upon local culinary traditions and
produce.
Jamaican jerk cuisine is among the best known of Jamaican culinary accomplishments.
Hot, spicy and flavorful beyond compare, the Ocho Rios Village Jerk
Center showcases this Jamaican favorite. Reasonably priced, generous
portions make this DaCosta Drive eatery a must try spot for those seeking
the authentic jerk experience. Featuring jerk chicken, seafood and pork,
this eatery tends to be crowded during the lunch rush, especially on
the days that the cruise ships come in.
Also found in Ocho Rios is the Almond Tree, located at 83 Main Street.
Serving both international and Jamaican cuisine at reasonable prices,
this restaurant fills quickly. Reservations are strongly suggested.
The Native, found at 29 Gloucester Avenue in Montego Bay, offers outdoor
dining in the shade, allowing for people watching on this active thoroughfare.
The Native offers both international fare and traditional Jamaican dishes,
many of which are truly outstanding. If you’re unable to decide which
wonderful Jamaican dish to try, they serve a marvelous sampler platter.
The seafood is, of course, fresh and excellent. There are buffet style
meals served on Friday and Sunday, and weekend dinner guests are sure
to enjoy the live music. Reservations, however, are a must for those
hoping to get a table at this fine restaurant.
At the Blue Mountain Inn, tucked away on Gordon Town Road in Gordon
Town, you’ll have to dress up to enjoy this luxurious fine dining establishment.
Serving continental cuisine at its very best, the atmosphere is just
as rich and tasteful as is the food. Located on what was once a coffee
plantation, there are numerous beautiful antiques that help to create
a Colonial English type of setting. Reservations are required, and the
establishment is closed on Sundays.
In Negril, Kuyaba On The Beach, found on Norman Manley Blvd., should
not be missed. They serve an international selection of dishes, including
some fine curries, pasta dishes and, naturally, quality seafood. Easy
to find with its thatched roof, its bar is a lively and social place,
attracting both tourists and locals. Visitors are not rushed, and are
welcome to enjoy the atmosphere and scenery, while sipping drinks on
the beach in the comfortable chaise lounges.
Aside from all the other wonderful things about Jamaica, the food itself
is worth the trip. A little planning and asking around, especially talking
to locals, can help you to indulge in a culinary exploration that will
not be soon forgotten. At the smaller places, the cooking staff will
often be happy to pass on a few of their own special culinary tips and
point you in the right direction to purchase spices to bring home. Eating
out in Jamaica is truly a delicious experience.

How
I get free airline tickets & travel on a shoestring
budget...
|
Myth:
Cheapest fares are always found online.
Truth:
Wrong. Many of the wholesale airline contracts are prohibited
from being marketed on a website. If you're only searching Expedia,
Orbitz, Travelocity and the like, you're not seeing all the
really discounted fares that are available.
Myth:
Buying direct from the airlines is good.
Truth:
Wrong again. You just eliminated the possibility of buying a
consolidator airfare, which is almost always cheaper than anything
the airlines offer, and, the cheapest airfare are sold
only by travel agencies.
Myth:
The airlines sell off unsold seats cheap at the last minute.
Truth:
This myth can cost you big time or the cancellation of your
plans if you're not willing to pay the exorbitant price the
airlines want to extort from you. Believing this myth proves
you have no clue about the airlines' distribution system.
